Cleaver-Brooks Showcases Proven ClearFire®-CE Hydronic Boiler in New “Part of the Team” Campaign

Cleaver-Brooks has launched its “Part of the Team” marketing campaign, underscoring how its boiler room solutions are designed to work seamlessly alongside boiler operators and facility managers as essential members of the system team. The campaign features the ClearFire®-CE (CFC-E) high-mass, fully condensing boiler that delivers up to 99% efficiency while achieving ultra-low emissions.

The latest generation of the CFC-E combines patented TurboFer® heat exchanger technology with integrated Ember controls, optimizing performance across a wide range of system applications. Designed with future-ready flexibility, the CFC-E can operate on renewable natural gas or a hydrogen-blended fuel mix of up to 20% without requiring burner modifications.

“The TurboFer heat exchanger is at the heart of the CFC-E, and its design and innovative technology generate turbulence on the fireside, increasing the heat transfer and boosting efficiency in a small footprint,” explained Catie VanWormer, vice president of Modular Products for Packaged Boiler Solutions at Cleaver-Brooks. “The proprietary combination of TurboFer technology, integrated Ember controls, and an advanced burner design are what enable the CFC-E to deliver industry-high efficiency and performance.”

In addition to its superior performance, the CFC-E meets today’s most stringent emissions requirements. It achieves standard ultra-low NOx levels of 20 ppm, with 7 ppm optional and no burner modifications.

Built for flexibility and long-term reliability, the CFC-E is available in 11 models with capacities ranging from 500 to 6,000 MBH. All capacities of the boiler feature 10:1 fully modulating turndown, maintaining consistent excess air levels across the firing range for efficient operation and repeatable combustion performance. With minimal moving parts, this design simplifies maintenance while enhancing durability.

The CFC-E’s large-water-volume pressure vessel and low pressure drop make it well suited for variable-flow primary pumping systems, contributing to a low total cost of ownership from installation through operation.

The boiler is recognized for its ease of installation and serviceability. It features a compact footprint designed to fit through a standard doorway, ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects.

Serviceability is further enhanced by front-access components, including a hinged burner assembly and removable panels that allow for quick inspection and maintenance. The advanced premix combustion system automatically manages fuel-to-air ratios, reducing the need for manual adjustments and seasonal tuning.

The CFC-E is in stock and ready to ship. Each unit is factory-assembled and tested to support safe, efficient, reliable, and sustainable operations across diverse applications, including office buildings, healthcare facilities, educational campuses, government buildings, multi-family housing, and manufacturing processes.

Featured prominently in the Cleaver-Brooks Part of the Team campaign, the CFC-E reflects the company’s commitment to helping boiler systems perform better every day because a reliable, high-performance boiler solution is a win for building owners and the occupants who depend on it.
