What is a back boiler?
A back boiler is a heating unit installed behind a fireplace that heats water for central heating or domestic hot water, often using the heat from a fire or gas. It is commonly used in older homes as a space-saving and efficient heating solution.
In which type of boiler you can find water walls?
A waterwall in a boiler is any furnace wall that is comprised of refractory and tubes in a water-tube boiler. The tubes are evenly spaced and generally connect to headers which in turn are connected back to the main generating bank of the boiler. They serve a two fold purpose here in that they capture heat that would otherwise escape to the atmosphere and help heat the water in the boiler. And they also help keep the refractory cool (relatively speaking) This prevents spalling of the refractory.
Why steem do not send to the boiler insuded of condenser?
In a typical steam system, steam is directed to the condenser instead of the boiler to remove heat and condense it back into water for reuse. Sending steam to the boiler would be inefficient, as it would require additional energy to convert the water back into steam again. The condenser allows for heat recovery and improves the overall efficiency of the system by recycling the condensate. This process also helps maintain optimal operating conditions and reduces water consumption.
What is the difference between steam generating unit and boiler?
A steam generating unit generally is not a self contained unit and allows the steam by-product (water) to escape. A Boiler is generally a sealed system that recirculates the condensed water back to the heating chamber for re-use.
Can you bleed a combi boiler?
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)
How does a back boiler work scientifically?
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.

What is a boiler check valve?
*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
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.
Why must the hot water tank in a house be placed higher than the boiler?
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.
What type of boiler should replace my Baxi Bermuda back boiler?
A system or combi boiler is a great replacement for a Baxi back boiler. Boiler Hut can help with selection and installation.
What happens to the old back boiler during replacement?
The old boiler is removed and properly disposed of by Boiler Hut engineers during the back boiler replacement process.

How do you light up the boiler room in the case of the missing coins?
You go back to HQ and ask G, He gives you a flashlight.
What is the feed check valve of boiler?
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
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.
Can I install a back boiler in a new home?
Back boilers are outdated and no longer recommended. Boiler Hut advises installing a modern boiler for better efficiency and safety.
