Why does a house get cold in winter if the boiler goes off?
In the winter people used to heat their houses with fires. In modern houses the boiler is a fire that heats water (or air) that is then circulated round the house in pipes to warm the rooms - this is called central heating. If the boiler goes off this removes the source of heat and the central heating can no longer do its job. As a result the hose will lose its heat energy to the outside and gradually cool down.
How does heat get from inside the boiler to the wall behind the radiator?
Conduction of heat energy from the source to the water in the boiler. A pump moves the hot water to the radiator.The heat radiates out from the radiator to the air, where convection then circulates it through the room.
What does a boiler look like?
The boiler itself consists of two principal parts: the furnace, which provides heat, usually by burning fuel, and the boiler proper, in which water is converted to steam by the heat piped in from the furnace.

Is boiler and furnace are same?
No, furnaces are forced air heat. Boilers are hot water heat.
What are your options for changing my hot water setup when my water is heated by a oil boiler now?
The best option is to put in a separate water heater for the summer and and other warm months when you don't need to run the boiler for heat. When it is winter and the boiler is running to heat the house it will heat the potable water as well. By switching back and forth you will save money on your oil bill.
What are the function of boiler?
One function: to safely heat water. Whatever the resulting hot water or steam is used for is not a function of the boiler, but the system it is connected to.
What principle is being used when heat is transmitted between the boiler and cylinder in a hot water system?
heat is transmitted by gravity between the boiler and cylinder ina hot water system. this is using the principle of?
How is steam produced in a boiler?
Steam is generated by heat from the combution of fuel in a furnace or by waste heat from a process. The heat is transferred to water in the boiler shell, which then evaporates to produce steam under pressure.
What are the most common boiler problems?
The most common boiler problems often arise because the boiler is not maintained. One is that in hard water areas the element is furred up and so it is not able to heat up the water as it should. Another is that the insulation is shifted and so no longer covers the boiler and keeps the heat in.
How it works forced water heating system?
A boiler heats water to a safe heating temperature, often 180 degrees or so, and when a thermostat calls for heat, circulating pumps move the water from the boiler to the radiators where it heats the air surrounding the radiant surface, causing localized convective heating as well as some amount of conductive and radiant heat transfer. others have said: Stratification HEAT goes to the cold.
What if your boiler heat won't ignite what might be wrong?
If you mean the pilot doesn't stay lit, the problem is prabably a faulty thermo coupler.
