How do you increase boiler efficiency?
we can increase boiler efficiency by recovering the heat which is being carried by flue gases.by incorporating different things like Economizer, Air pre-heater , Super-heater and feed-water heater, we can there ll be notable increase in efficiency of boiler.
What is the difference between a fireplace flue and a fireplace damper?
The flue is the actual pipe or chimney where the damper is the mechanism that opens and closes the flue
Why direction of water and flue gases are opposite in bacock and wilcox boiler?
because of heat transfer rate is better
Use Flue in a sentence?
the flue pipe from my boiler runs directly to the hole in the chimney
How many people had the flue last year?
about 30 million people had the flu but no one had the flue
Is a direct vent water heater as good as a standard vent water heater?
a direct vent water heater is more fuel efficient (cost's less to operate). aside from that there isn't much difference, aside from not needing a double wall flue through the roof on a standard gas water heater.
Can you run gas furnace and gas hot water heater into one flue?
Of course If the flue is sized properly
What is the difference between a standard water heater and a direct vent water heater?
Generally, a direct vent must be next to an outside wall or be connected to a chimney that extends 2-4 feet above roof peak (all gases and fumes from the burner will vent naturally). A power vent is used when the unit is put inside the home in a closet or on an interior wall. It must have venting to an outside wall and must have a blower fan to remove gases from the water heater so they don't back up into the house.
How does lightning put the pilot out on a hot water heater?
It will not -- It must be wind comming down your flue and putting it out
What should be the range of temperature of flue gases at outlet of air pre-heater?
The typical flue gas temp at the inlet to the air heater is about 650-750 DegF range.
How close can you install cpvc pipe to a gas water heater?
There should be no more than six inches between CPVC pipe and the exhaust flue on a water heater. If the CPVC pipe is installed too close it can be a safety issue.

Why is there water in exhaust fan of gas heater?
Because the flue is too far for nature to vent the fumes properly as heat rises but in some installations there is not enough PITCH up from the appliance.
Why does my gas fired heater stay ignited for only a few seconds and then the flame goes out?
Either you are out of gas, or it is not getting enough air. This may be due to a blocked inlet at the bottom, or a stopped-up flue. This is a dangerous situation. Clear anything from around the bottom of the heater and check the flue inside and outside the house. If it continues, do not use the heater and have it checked by a professional.
What is the function of superheater?
The function of the super heater is to increase the temperature of the steam above saturation by utilising the heat from the flue gases.
How do you vent an interior closet for an electric water heater closet?
An electric water heater does not need a vent (or flue) though you will want a plumed out piping on the pop-off valve on the heater. We've got that but the supply line (cold) is insulated but sweating; probably due to change in water temperature vs. ambient temperature. The water heater is inside the closet which is accessed from within our bedroom closet. There is no roof vent and there is a door on the closet. My thought is to put two vents--one down low & one up high--in an effort to allow the moisture to escape. Any thoughts?
What does mm WC stand for when measuring flue pressure?
Mm/water column
