Boiler room heating is done by installing unit heaters inside the room or through makeup air units that supply heated air to the space. Makeup air units, when used, can be set up to provide combustion
During the initial stages of the heating season, the presence of smoke in the boiler room is an indication of a potential obstruction or damage to the exhaust system.
As a safety factor to assure complete combustion, boilers are fired with excess air. One of the factors influencing NOx formation in a boiler is the excess air levels.
Delve into the workings of a gas fired boiler with our comprehensive guide. Learn about the energy-efficient conversion process that utilizes various gases as fuel and discover the principles
Inadequate excess air results in unburned combustibles (fuel, soot, smoke, and carbon monoxide), while too much results in heat lost due to the increased flue gas flow—thus lowering the overall boiler fuel
When the combustion air supply is closed off, the fire starts to smoke as the air supply is exhausted. Incomplete combustion occurs and carbon monoxide is generated. The fire then goes out, but often
This article explains how to recognize and fix combustion air defects on heating appliances such as boilers, furnaces, and water heaters. This article series answers most questions
These and other features enable Benchmark boilers to provide extremely high thermal efficiencies and optimum temperature control under widely varying conditions. It is therefore critical that the flue gas
As a safety factor to assure complete combustion, boilers are fired with excess air. One of the factors influencing NOx formation in a boiler is the excess air levels.
Combustion air and venting are the unsung heroes of a gas-fired heating system. They ensure the system runs efficiently and safely by providing the air needed for combustion and expelling harmful
This type of system continuously measures flue-gas oxygen content and adjusts the combustion air flow to maintain a set point. This type of control can be more precise and efficient than positioning control
