When it comes to boiler maintenance, you may be focused on major problems like component failures or system breakdowns. You must also be on the lookout for boiler corrosion, a less obvious but very serious problem that can rapidly develop into catastrophic failure of your boiler. Boiler corrosion happens when any iron that is present … Continued
Condensing boilers achieve high efficiency by condensing water vapor in the exhaust gases to recover latent heat, which would otherwise be wasted. A conventional boiler burns fuel, producing hot gases that pass through a heat exchanger where much of the heat is transferred to the water. Vapor produced in the combustion process rises into the … Continued
