Q:Need a new boiler and I'm debating between Oil and propane. Main concerns are initial cost, vs. cost to run. Any experts out there?

Running costs at the moment are probably not very far apart but gas boilers are generally cheaper to buy and install and are cleaner. Also more flexibility of installation sites with regards to flueing. Fuel tanks, some companies supply them free and others charge so shop around for both and get some installation prices and compare fuel suppliers prices.

Q:skilled workers for boilers and what part of boiler they work for?

Mill wrights who had experience in pipiung are needeed to work in boilers. Instrument or electrical technicians are also needed to maintain the electrical controls. ALSO, GOOD PUMP MECHANICS ARE NEEDED TO work on the water pumps. Instrument technicians check on the thickness of the boiler pipes and shell.Mechanical Engineers and mechanics tests the boiler pressure resistance and check on the relief valves whether they will release pressure at a desired setting.

Q:Boiler certificate expired, how to do, the specific process is?

The licensee in 4 years to meet the relevant safety technical requirements of the uninterrupted operational requirements and safety, energy education and training requirements, and no illegal operation or management and other bad records, without causing an accident, the issuing department should be in accordance with the relevant safety technical specifications

Q:The operation of boilers in buildings must be done in a safe and environmentally acceptable manner. Safety issues include control of water level and overpressure. Environmental issues include restrictions on sewering boiler blowdown. Indoor air quality issues include the use of amines in steam used for humidification~ sterilization and food preparation. Control of feed water and boiler water quality is a factor in both safety and environmental considerations.What is the best boiler system to install, a boiler which is safe to human health and to the environment? I want the air-ventilation inside safe for me and my family. And also I want a cost effective boiler that will last.

The two main things you will pay for are the installation process, i.e. the time it takes for the qualified boiler engineer to fit it for you, and the cost of the boiler itself. However you will also need to cover the cost of additional items such as the pipe work and associated items that are also required for fitting. The price of the boiler can vary a lot depending on the make and model you buy. For example you could pay anything from approximately ?500 to about ?2,000 or more, so you need to work out your budget to buy one and the type of boiler your home will need.

Q:we are cold with no heating or hot water, happened after bleeding the radiators to our flexicom boiler. first said F11 now F22. tried reset and turning temp right down, also checked outside laggin. what is happening please and can we resolve it without hassling the landlord? we have 3 young children who are freezing! can anyone help please.

Q:The boiler is 9 years old, and a Scottish Gas C1 model.Best Answer title for first good answer! :)

You probably don't need me to tell you it's time to reseal the joint. What I can tell you is that it's very common to have water inside a boiler distribution system turn greenish brown, or reddish brown. Since the distribution is a closed system you will have the same water going round and round inside the pipes, picking up whatever is on their inside surface. In the case of galvanized steel or iron distribution piping, products of corrosion will also get into the water. It doesn't necessarily mean that the pipes need to be replaced, but when the joint is resealed the interior of the pipe should be examined to determine how advanced the corrosion is. The water would not be toxic, but I wouldn't drink a glass of it. ; )

Q:like the type of boiler used to heat buildings or homes?

Yes, and it has happened. There are several scenarios - a). a boiler is a pressure vessel, and if pressure within the boiler 'runs away' ,an explosion can occur that physically damages the building. b). a gas-fired boiler leaks gas, the gas is ignited, damaging the building c). a boiler explosion causes enough damage to the boiler such that the flame in the boiler starts a fire that damages the building One of the most dramatic boiler explosions of recent years occurred at a power plant in Detroit in 1998

Q:Characteristics of biomass boilers

The fuel is fed into the furnace by the screw feeder, where it is preheated, dried, ignited and burned due to the action of the high temperature flue gas and the primary air. During this process, a large amount of volatiles are precipitated and the combustion is severe.

Q:I just had a new system put in 2 years ago. The heat worked last week, all of sudden, the circulator is making a humming/buzzing noise and my heat is not working. I follow the pipes and the water comes in cold, goes through the boiler, the pipe is then HOT, but then it connects to the pump, and the circulator and by that time, the pipes are cold. The circulator is also making a humming/buzzing noise. I've tried to reset the circuit breaker, but that hasn't fixed the problem. Please help...its getting cold up here in the northeast!

First make sure that the boiler is under pressure, should have a gage somewhere and about 12 LBS and no air in the system. If it's humming/buzzing it may be turning but needs water pressure. If that's not it hopefully there are isolation valves on either side of the pump for removal. If not you will need to drain the system down to remove the pump. I would be ready with a new pump if needed.

Q:what is the means Boiler ?

The heat of combustion of coal in the boiler is utilised to convert water into steam at high temperature and pressure. The flue gases from the boiler make their journey through super heater, economiser, air pre-heater and are finally exhausted to atmosphere through the chimney
