50 HP Boiler Models

50 HP boilers are used in all types of applications throughout the United States. Although vertical boilers are available at this capacity, most industrial plants elect to go with a horizontal firetube boiler. The horizontal firetube boiler offers a much longer lifespan, safer operation and more stable firing. 50 HP boilers can be purchased in low pressure (15psi) steam, high pressure (150 – 300psi) steam, hot water and high temperature hot water configurations.
