Blodgett SB-G Series - Manual (Page 6)

4 OM-G-SB
The G-SB Steamer is designed to bring you years of service. It has two stainless steel
cavities (cooking chambers) and a control compartment, which houses the electrical
components and steam valves. In each cavity, a powerful blower circulates the steam
for increased heating efficiency. Each cavity, depending on model, will hold either
three or five steam table pans (12” x 20” x 2-1/2”).
A 16 gauge stainless steel case encloses the cavities and the control compartment
that house electrical components. The door hinges are reversible (the doors may be
hung to open from the left or right).
Operator Controls are located on the front panel.
The steamer cavities are mounted on a cabinet base containing a gas-fired steam
boiler that generates low pressure steam. This model uses a spark ignition system.
The boiler is small enough to fit in a 24-1/8” wide by 34-3/16” deep by 29-3/16” tall
(maximum) cabinet. The boiler is constructed of 1/4” thick steel, which is certified by
the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for pressure vessels. All welds
are hydrostatically tested. The boiler is also equipped with required instruments,
fittings, and controls per CSD-1 (Controls and Safety Devices for automatically fired
boilers). Heat transfer fins inside the combustion chamber add to the unit’s high
efficiency. The unit is rated as 60% efficient or better, with a firing rate of 200,000 BTU
per hour using natural or propane gas. Energy output is 120,000 BTU per hour, with an
effective boiler horsepower of 3.7.
The drain system includes a spray condenser, which suppresses any steam escaping
from the chamber and cools condensate water going into the drain.
