A condensing boiler pre-warms up the new combustion air which is drawn through the balanced flue, using the waste heat in the flue gases. This heat recovery makes them more efficient and cheaper to run. Cooling the waste gases causes the water they contain to condense out, hence the name.

All local, state and federal codes must be met by the installer. Those codes vary from location and state and application. In most cases a boiler with a capacity above 200,000 BTU per hour must be installed by a contractor with the appropriate licenses and insurance. In many states however, those codes do not apply if the usage is to provide heating for growing or raising livestock or poultry or for greenhouse heating applications. See similar questions...

You need to clean the condensing unit at least once a month to remove dirt, which are clog between fins. You also need to check and remove obstacles that hinder airflow in and out of condensing unit. This will make sure the air circulation of the unit is not blocked. It can affect the cooling efficiency, a shorter See similar questions...

The leading cause of this problem is not using a vacuum controller. Most likely the maximum vacuum of your vacuum pump is too low, and consequently the vapor pressure temperature is lower than the condenser temperature. We recommend to use the Vacuum Controller V-850 with valve unit or with a Vacuum Pump V-700. Yes - Multiple Rotavapors can be connected to one Vacuum Controller; however, the nominal vacuum pressure must be the same for all Rotavapors. See similar questions...

Yes, this is entirely possible. Temperature control is the issue. You can use one of our heat exchanges to change the steam to hot water. Then you can use a mixing valve to control temperature of the hot water. You may want to consider the use of a safety control. See similar questions...

The Boiler Challenge is scheduled on a request basis. This means that you tell us when you want to plan your visit...any day of the week, and as long as another group does not have that time, we will do everything in our power to get you scheduled during a time that's best for you. Remember, this is an outdoor activity, so it must be during daylight hours, and weather could play a factor. See similar questions...

Time slots fill in quickly, so it's best to get your request in as soon as you can. We ask that you put in your schedule request at least two weeks prior to your preferred date so that proper arrangements can be made. See similar questions...

Our agreements vary from company to company, so the price with your company wouldn’t necessarily be the same as the price of that a member with a different company. See similar questions...

Boiler exemptions are no longer required. Despite the introduction of the PECPR Regulations in 1999, certain parts of the Boilers, Lifts and Cranes Act 1950 remained effective. Because of this, it was necessary in order to operate a boiler in unattended or limited-attendance mode to be issued with an exemption from section 37(3) of the Act. The Boilers, Lifts, and Cranes Act was repealed on 16 January 2006, and as a consequence these exemptions are no longer issued. See similar questions...

A place where high-pressure salespeople use banks of telephones to call lists of potential investors (known as a "sucker lists") in order to induce them to purchase speculative securities, sometimes called "the stock of the day" that the firm has a large inventory of, to be unloaded at significant profit to the brokerage. It is called a boiler room as an analogy to a pressure cooker due to the high-pressure selling. See similar questions...

To clean a steam boiler, use one pound of trisodium phosphate for every fifty gallons of water content. Heat the boiler to 180 degrees F; hold at 180 degrees F for two hours. Do not allow the boiler to make steam. After two hours, drain the boiler and fill with fresh makeup water. Water treatment chemicals should be thoroughly reviewed before they are introduced into the boiler. Foaming agents that will interfere with steam action are of particular concern.

Yes! It is still possible to have a conventional floor-standing, wall-mounted or back boiler fitted. Some installers may find it easier to fit combis and suggest – incorrectly – that other types of boiler can no longer be fitted. There is still a place for this type of boiler and they are likely to be available for some time to come. See similar questions...
