Q:My boiler is building up pressure from 29 to 30 psi. I have drained water out of the air tank to bring the pressure back to 12 psi. The pressure continues to go back to a high number. Is my air tank shot and how do I fix my problem?

the water inlet that supplies the boiler, probably a 1/2 line. Look for the pressure reducing valve. It should look like a bell, has a screw on top, turn the screw and check the boiler pressure. If it started acting up on its own and was never adjusted by anyone, it could be bad. That valve controls the ammount of pressure in the boiler.

Q:My mother and I moved into the new house a few years ago and have only had the kerosene boiler serviced once. Its an OLD boiler the date printed with the model and details is 03/25/98 ( crown boiler co. ) model BD-074 WC G, Serial 159913. We don't know anything about the thing really, except how to bleed the kerosene line. And the other day the hot water pressure seems to be gone. Not sure what to do? Any suggestions of what it could be and what kind of tune up the boiler might need on a year to year basis?

First.. Where are you getting low Hot water psi? Shower, Kitchen sink, And you say no hot water psi is it low psi or no psi at all? Your boiler has a hot water coil inside, If you have hard water, lime, the coil needs to be flushed with an acid. TO BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL!! Coil cleaning is using a strong acid and water mix, and you must be trained to use it. Too much acid and you burn Thu the coil, also the fumes are toxic!! Your boiler is designed to use #2 fuel oil. If your using kerosene, your wasting money. (perhaps you made a mistake and call it kerosene) Second... Oil heat requires a yearly tune up. Changing the filter, nozzle, pump screen, and a brushing of the flues. Failure to do so will drop the efficiency of your boiler and also cause damage. For the cost of a tune up, it will pay for itself in the long run. Your oil company can help you if they have a full service dept. Don't try to fix it yourself if you don't know what your doing. Heating tech's have to go to school and be licensed to work on heating equip. Be sure the person who is working on it is licensed!! You can ask to see his/her lic. first as they must carry there lic. with them while performing there work.

Q:What is the difference between the row of the boiler and the hydrophobic body of the body, and what are the other

Soda and steam, resulting in discharge (for) steam with water, reducing the quality of gas supply, and steam with water will also make the steam in the pipeline during the transport of condensate precipitation, the road to the pipeline water impact accident;

Q:how do i wire a honeywell zone valve for the 1 zone of heat and how do i wire the honeywell zone valve for the hot water heater

If okorder / it will control the boiler temperature and provide priority hot water.

Q:what are smoke tube boiler ?detail working required?

Same as a fire tube boiler. There are fire tube and water tube boilers. I bet wikipedia has articles on this.

Q:What is the use of anti-scaling, descaling technology

, reasonable control of the boiler sewage rate, thereby reducing the scale , To improve the thermal efficiency of the boiler.

Q:My boiler has broken unexpectedly, causing loss of heating or hot water. I am a homeowner and, apparently stupidly, thought the boiler would be covered by either my buildings or contents insurance.Basically, i have no money or savings and struggle to pay bills monthly. Of course, it will take up to a year for me to save up for a new boiler, but many people i have spoken to have said there are schemes which could help me with a new boiler.I don't claim any benefits, though i would be entitled to working tax credits if i wanted to applying them. But of course, that would take months! does anyone know of schemes with could help me, or should i just prepare for a cold year?!?

have you called your local utilities, or local govt ? sometimes they know of organizations that can help. personally i would start calling the churches in my area and ask them to post for any help, you may be very surprised at the hvac/plumbers who may come to your aid. bundles nice work on the links but most of those will take a year just to get an answer, but i like the effort.. another thought though on the engineers, try calling the trade schools and see if the teachers and students have any fixit programs.

Q:I have recently experienced my boiler losing pressure. I can reinstate the pressure using the valves underneath but over time it goes again. I have read on other forums that I can isolate the boiler with pressure up for a period of time and this will tell me whether the fault is with the unit or somewhere else in the system. Only problem - no one tells me what this isolating involves! Can anyone advise step by step what i do? Is it as simple as turning the heat and hot water off?Thanks

The only way you can isolate the boiler would be to shut off the supply and return, but there's not typically valves installed in those pipes....and even if there were, it'd be a bit of luck if they sealed well. If your boiler is leaking, you'll usually see that one or more of the burners are badly rusted from water leaking on them. If you take the vent hood off, you can usually see any cracks or rotted parts just by giving it a close inspection. Depending on the boiler, you may have to at least partially remove the jacket as well.. Hope this helps

Q:How to turn on my boiler?

LP or natural gas, electric, oil, pellet, wood? A guy would need to know which one he has so he can turn it on the right way. Wouldn't do no good lookin fer a pilot light on your outdoor wood boiler.

Q:What is the characteristics of the pulverized coal stove?

4, high level of monitoring and control: automatic monitoring, adjust the operating parameters, the system is in the best running state; at the same time reduce the labor intensity and human factors on the boiler operation.
