Features
- Three-Pass Cast Iron Heat Exchanger
- The Freeport series of oil fired boilers uses a three-pass cast iron heat exchanger. The combusted flue gases pass three times over the heat exchanger, maximizing the amount of heat energy transferred to the heat transfer medium.
- Easy-Access Front-Opening Door
- The Freeport burner orifice is located on a front opening burner door. All heating surfaces can be accessed for cleaning using this door, making cleaning and maintenance a breeze.
- Included Thermal Purge Control
- All Freeport boilers come equipped with a control that provides thermal purge functionality for the boiler. This involves transferring any residual heat left inside the boiler after burner firing to the system medium, increasing efficiency.
- Included Beckett AFG Burner
- This boiler comes with a Beckett AFG oil burner included. Beckett is a well known industry burner brand whose burners have proven reliable and efficient in thousands of boiler installs.
- Product Includes
- Freeport Oil Fired Boiler with Heat Exchanger
- Taco Circulation Pump
- Beckett AFG Burner
The Crown Freeport boiler is an oil fired boiler designed from the ground up to maximize reliability across every part of construction. At its core is a three-pass cast iron heat exchanger - the heat from the burned flue gases is circulated three times throughout the heat exchanger, maximizing the heat energy transferred to the water circulating within. A front side swinging burner door provides easy access to all heating surfaces, making routine maintenance an easy task. An included control tops off the feature list of the Freeport, providing thermal purge functionality for increased efficiency.

Medium
Medium
Medium refers to the substance that carries heat through the heating system. Systems are either designed to use either Hot Water or Steam as a medium, and components are usually specific to one or the other.
Hot Water
Heat Exchanger Material
Cast Iron
Fuel Type
Fuel Type
To create heat, some form of fuel is required. Fuel Type specifies what the product uses as an input to create heat.
Oil
Combustion Type
Combustion Type
Condensing appliances use leftover thermal energy from combustion gases to heat water in a secondary heat exchanger, resulting in higher efficiency and lower exhaust temperature.
Conventional
Vent Type
Vent Type
Products that use combustion (burning) of fuel to create heat also create potentially dangerous gasses that need to be exhausted (AKA "Vented"). Depending on the product, venting can be done via a chimney, through a side wall, or use a second vent to provide fresh air to the appliance.
Chimney Vent
DHW Production
DHW Production
DHW (Domestic Hot Water) is potable water for uses other than space heat. Some boilers are able to provide DHW "out of the box", while others can do so with the purchase of optional accessories.

Modulating/Staging
Modulating/Staging
Stages are unique speeds or levels that equipment can operate at. More stages allow for better fine-tuned control of output, which improves comfort and efficiency. Modulating equipment can operate across a range of levels, giving the highest level of fine-tuned control. Learn More

Performance
AFUE
AFUE
AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) measures the efficiency of combustion equipment over the entire heating season, and is calculated by dividing the amount of energy that is actually heating your home by the total energy contained in the fuel used by the boiler/furnace. Learn More

DOE Heating Capacity
DOE Heating Capacity
Also referred to as Gross Output, this is the output of a boiler after accounting for combustion efficiency. We recommend sizing hot water boilers based on the DOE Heating Capacity.

Net I=B=R Capacity
Net I=B=R Capacity
I=B=R, also referred to as Net Output or AHRI Capacity, is the rated heat output of a boiler after accounting for combustion efficiency, piping loss, and an extra pickup factor. We recommend sizing steam boilers based on the I=B=R rating.
