A back boiler is a boiler which supplies a central heating and hot water system and is fitted into the recess of a fireplace.
Yes you can bleed a combi boiler. You do just the same as with a conventional boiler. However, the pressure will drop in your system, so you simply need to adjust it using the little tap (usually below the boiler) to bring it back again (Usually aronud 1.5)
Boiler can be classified as below
Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion Boiler (AFBC boiler) is a type of operational boiler. In a AFBC boiler a little more fluidized bed combustor is added than a conventional shell boiler.
This question can't be answered. It is unclear what you mean by back pressure. Maximum Allowable Working Pressure in a boiler is calculated using the rules for construction of high pressure boilers and construction of heating boilers in the ASME Code sections 1 and 8.
The function of back pressure valve is to prevent back flow to the pump in case there is an obstruction on downstream side of valve.
Hi , Your back boiler will disconnected and a condensed boiler will be fitted. You can use your existing heating system but be sure that a powerflush is done when you get it installed. for more info http://www.rapidfix.com you can get fixed price online
A boiler works by heating water in an enclosed space. The expansion of water molecules as it transforms from a liquid state into a gaseous one causes the boiler to generate a vast amount of pressure. This is generally the science behind a back boiler.
when our heating system was changed from a back boiler to a wall mounted one we had the back boiler removed so as to revert to a 1st class chimney, so we could have a coal fire if required, and the flue liner was taken out.

*A boiler check valve is usually made by Watts and called a Watts 9D. This prevents the water that goes into the boiler backflowing and having the heating water from the boiler coming back into the domestic water and having you drink it or shower in it.* Cheers,QuiteSomething

The feed check valve of a boiler is on the line coming out of the boiler it is usually to prevent the water from going back in to the boiler its coming out of so it would build up excessive amounts of pressure which will cause the t&p valve to blow temperature and pressure

The boiler room.
Because you forgot to open the vent when the pressure dropped below 15 psig. A boiler under vacuum will suck in its handholes and manholes, and they might start leaking when pressure is put back on them. weakened boiler parts can fail as well.
Yes, If it is a pressurized system, the water from the back boiler and your oil or gas fired boiler can be mixed. This can also be achieved by using a water to water plate exchanger to preheat the return water from your heating devices. If you have a forced air heating system in the house, a coil can be placed in the main trunk line of the duct work and heated by circulated water from the back boiler.
An auxiliary boiler is a secondary boiler used to support the main boiler in a steam power plant or marine vessel. It is often used when the main boiler is unable to meet the steam demands, providing additional steam capacity. Auxiliary boilers can also be used for heating purposes during maintenance or downtime of the main boiler.
