IBC (Integrated Boiler Company) is a 15-year old condensing boiler company with offices in Vancouver, BC Canada and US distribution facilities in Wisconsin. Although successful in the Canadian market, the selection of RST Thermal in April, 2010 to be the Manufacturer’s Representative in New England is IBC’s entrance into the Eastern U.S. market.

The most popular IBC boiler is the platinum series VFC 15-150 which comes with a 10:1 turn down ratio, which means that a 150,000 Btu/h boiler can modulate down as low as 15,000 Btu/h (the lowest in the residential market. The VFC 45-225 as a 225,000 Btu/h condensing boiler comes with a 5:1 turn down ratio. The outer all stainless steel jacket gives these boilers a clean hygienic look with a user friendly control window visible with the cover on.

The IBC heat exchanger and control system work in conjunction to assure that the flue gas temperature remains always 3 to 7 degrees above return water temperature. The IBC heat exchanger is one of only two manufacturers in the market to offer high grade 316Ti Titanium stabilized stainless steel. The IBC heat exchanger is made in Europe at one of the world’s premier heat exchanger manufacturers and is built according to ASME code. IBC has a downflow heat exchanger so flue gas and condensate travel down in the same direction so there is no re-evaporation of condensate in the heat exchanger. This bulletproof heat exchanger delivers on energy savings and long life expectancy.

Venting is up to 150 feet developed length using PVC, CPVC, or stainless steel (and an incredible 240 fee for the 225,000 Btu/h IBC model). The venting also comes off the bottom of the boiler so that the unit can be mounted high on a wall. The piping leaves through the right hand side of the boiler. The combination of the venting and piping means installing contractors do not spend all day crouched down below a condensing boiler; they can stand and pipe in an organized way. Combustion air can be brought in from outside or inside. IBC has a menu driven control system with easy to understand navigation buttons and clear on screen prompts. All the settings, readouts, and error messages are in plain English so rarely do you need to refer to a manual. Up to 27 of the IBC condensing boilers can be piped together with nothing more than a twisted pair of wires daisy chained between all the boilers. No elaborate cascade or external staging controls needed.
