A boiler functions by boiling water to a steam, which rises upwards. Keeping the hot water tank above the boiler helps keep the hot water hot, as well as allowing the steam to carry itself to the tank, instead of the hot water tank producing steam feeding back into the boiler.

Suppose you are in the mountains at a higher altitude and wish to boil some water on the stove because the air pressure is the boiling point is?

lower, lower


How does a bath of hot water at 40 Degrees have more heat energy than a cup of tea at 90 degrees?

It has a much higher volume of water compared to the tea cup. It takes less energy to heat a small amount of liquid such as a tea cup.


Why the solubility of nacl is greater than glucose?

The solubility of NaCl is greater than that of glucose primarily due to the ionic nature of NaCl, which dissociates into sodium and chloride ions in water, allowing for strong electrostatic interactions with water molecules. In contrast, glucose is a covalent compound that dissolves through hydrogen bonding, which is generally weaker than the interactions formed between water and the ions of NaCl. Additionally, the presence of multiple hydroxyl groups in glucose allows for some solubility, but the overall ionic dissociation of NaCl leads to a higher solubility in water.


Why do you need to know algebra?

it is the same as you can ask why do you need to drink a water as algebra is one of the components of your building education and future work as well as water is the one building things for your body. It also helps your mind to think in a different way. It will help with trig, you can apply it in physics a CRAZY amount of times, and it will help find unknown variables in higher math like Geometry or Calculus

What is a Worcester Combi Boiler?

A Worcester Combi Boiler is a gas powered boiler that heats water that pumps into radiators to warm the house. It also gives you hot water whenever you want it.


Can you incorporate a solid fuel back boiler into a pressure water system it would be nice not to have to use so much oil and take advatage of our wood burning stove?

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.


How to turn on the boiler for heating in the house?

To turn on the boiler for heating in the house, locate the boiler's power switch and turn it on. Adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature for heating. Wait for the boiler to heat up and start circulating hot water or steam through the heating system.

Difference between a boiler and water heater?

A hot water heater is the storage tank of water that is responsible for the supply of hot water to the many fixtures in the house, such as showers and sinks. It does NOT supply heat for the home itself. There are two basic types of water heaters, one that runs on gas or some other fuel and one that runs on electric. A boiler on the other hand IS responsible for the heating of a home itself. Water or steam in a boiler reach much higher temperatures than the water in a hot water tank and therefore its used for heating and not drinking water or potable water. In a steam system for heating, pipes run throughout the house from the boiler carrying steam that eventually gives off its heat at the many radiators. In a hydronic system for heat, smaller pipes carry hot water to various baseboards around the house that release the heat using circulator pumps to push the water through and back to the boiler.


What is difference between vertical and horizantal boiler?

there are two types of boilers water tube and fire tube. fire tube boilers are divided in to two categories vertical and horizontal. this according to the construction of fire tubes. it is said that vertical boilers are inefficient than horizontal boilers. The vertical boiler is small capacity, and horizontal boiler is higher capacity, well, the horizontal boiler have many types according the drums, there are single drums boiler, and double drums boiler, while, the single drums boiler have fire tube boiler and water and fire tube boiler, double drums boiler is usually water tube boiler.

Can you run your boiler with the water shut off?

For a while IF the boiler has an automatic low water cut off and other safety devices but if any fail you will have a melt down and an explosion


What is economizer in boiler?

Economizer is an accessory of boiler that recovers the waste heat from the flue gas blown out of the boiler. Thus it actually "economizes" the operational cost or in other words, improves the efficiency of fuel utilisation in the boiler. The temperature of the flue gases ( the mixture of burnt fuel & air ) depends up on the steam pressure ( temperature more precisely ). Higher the steam pressure generated, the higher is the flue gas temperature. Economizer is a heat exchanger which exchanges heat between water ( which is fed in to the boiler ) & the flue gas. It means it increases the temperature of the feed water using the otherwise wasted heat of the flue gas. So the water entering the boiler has higher temperature compared to the one without this economizer. This higher temperature of water requires less amount of heat to generate steam so the operation becomes "economical". Similarly the economizer can also work to heat up the air entering the boiler through the flue gas heat, instead of heating the water.


At what size is a hot water heater considered a boiler?

NONE a boiler is a boiler and a water heater is a water heaterSEE ASME section IV or the NBBI
