What is a condensing boiler?

Central Heating
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.

How do I know when my boiler needs to be replaced?

HVAC Service and HVAC Equipment Sales & Installation - Balti...
The two main factors to pay attention to when it comes to replacing old equipment are age and efficiency rating. As a general rule of thumb, you probably want to replace equipment that is older than 10 years. Since efficiency ratings have gone up dramatically in the past 10 years, replacing older equipment can save you money in the long run on your energy bills. More efficient equipment uses less energy to keep your home comfortable.

Can I use my existing water heater or do I need a boiler?

Radiant Heat From Radiant Floor Company - FAQ
In many cases an existing domestic water heater will do the job. If the BTU rating of the heater is matched with the BTU requirements of the space to be heated, one properly sized unit can provide both space heating and domestic hot water. A boiler is normally not necessary unless the heating requirements exceed 300,000 BTU's. In these cases, a simple mixing valve is designed into the boiler system to provide lower temperature water to the radiant floor.

The solvent vapors are not condensing. Why?

BUCHI Laboratory Equipment - FAQ
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.
