A low NOx, integrated boiler-burner apparatus includes a horizontally fired, factory assembled package boiler having an inlet plenum and a furnace space is provided with a multi-nozzle burner (MNB) array including a plurality of vertically and horizontally spaced burner nozzles located at an entrance to the furnace space for supplying fuel for combustion into the furnace space. The MNB array distributes the heat of the combustion exhaust gases across the furnace space for minimizing NOx formation. One or more chill tube assemblies are located within the furnace space just downstream of the MNB array for rapidly reducing the temperature of the combustion exhaust gases. Alternatively, laterally perforated internal air duct assemblies can also be provided within the furnace space alone or in combination with the chill tube assemblies in various arrangements to provide staged air for completing combustion in the furnace space. Exhaust gases from an exhaust flue of the package boiler can also be recirculated back to the inlet plenum for re-exposing the exhaust gases to the combustion process.
