Add water to the boiler. You should have an automatic pressure reducing water make up valve, somewhere near the boiler. If it feeds directly into the boiler, make sure the boiler is cool when you add. Normal pressure on a cool boiler should be around 12 psi. The pressure will rise as the water is heated. You need a minimum of 1/2 psi for every foot of rise in the loop. So 12 psi in the basement will allow most systems to have a rise of appx 24 feet to the highest strip of baseboard. Remember, the pressure relief valve on the boiler lifts at 30 psi, so you need to stay well below that when the boiler is up to temperature.

What will happen to the pressure of gas in a container if the temperature is increased?

The gas is likely to expand and raise the pressure inside the can. Should the pressure become too great the can will burst.


What could affect the temperature at which water boils?

The pressure of the atmosphere around the water determines the temperature at which it boils. Also, the presence of dissolved particles in the water will raise the boiling temperature.Dissolved solids (salt, sugar or anything else in there, This will raise the temperature). Pressure lower pressure means less temperature needed to boild the warer.

When charging a system with a low pressure refrigerant should be introduced as a vapor to raise saturation temperature to a minim of?

When charging a system with a low-pressure refrigerant, it is generally recommended to introduce the refrigerant as a vapor to raise the saturation temperature to a minimum of about 25°F (-4°C) or higher, depending on the specific refrigerant being used and the system design. This helps to ensure proper circulation and prevents liquid refrigerant from flooding the compressor, which could lead to damage. Additionally, maintaining the correct saturation temperature is crucial for optimal system performance and efficiency. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for the specific refrigerant being used.


How do you determine the Btus in your electric hot water heater?

A BTU is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit (F) at or near 39.2 degrees F and 1 atmosphere of pressure. Electric heaters are rated in KW, not BTU's 3413 BTU's = 1 KW-hr. Check the link below for a PDF on water heater sizing.


What yields a higher heat output a electric heater with a higher or lower voltage?

Does not matter. But in a practical sense Its cheaper to get heat from high voltage because smaller wire, smaller breakers, and definitely less heat loss from the circuit wiring. It's called ixiR loss. Same reason overhead transmission lines are obcenely high voltage values. It is all relative. Heat equals this times that. Lower this, raise that. Horsepower equals this times that. Lower rpm, raise torque or vice versa. Navy wants planes to fly faster, lose weight, raise hydraulic pressure, reduce hydraulic line size. Electric, hydraulic, mechanical, it's all equal.

How do you drain coolant from a Mercury Cougar 97?

97 Mercury Cougar V8 (4.6L) instructions. Also for V6. Drain coolant as follows: a. If cooling system is still hot, carefully wrap a thick cloth around the pressure relief cap and rotate slowly until pressure begins to release. Step back until the pressure is released. b. Then rotate pressure relief cap until free. Remove the pressure relief cap . c. Raise and support vehicle. d. Remove splash shield from front of front sub-frame and body. e. Open radiator draincock and drain the coolant system. f. Lower vehicle. g. Remove the inlet and outlet heater water hose from the heater core. CAUTION: Do no exceed 10 P.S.I. of air pressure when draining the heater core or possible damage to heater core may occur.

How do you bleed a baseboard heater system?

IF THE BASEBOARDS HAVE INDIVIDUAL COIN VENTS ON THEM, RAISE THE SYSTEM PRESSURE WITHIN 5# OF THE RELIEF VALVE SETTING ( 30# TYP. FOR RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE STORY) , PUT ONE ZONE AT A TIME INTO A CALL FOR HEAT AND CRACK THE COIN VENT SLIGHTLY TO ALLOW TRAPPED AIR TO EXIT. IF NO COIN VENTS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE CONVECTORS AND IF THE INSTALLATION WAS PIPED PROPERLY, YOU WILL ISOLATE EACH ZONE BY CLOSING THE VALVES THAT SERVE IT, ATTACH A SHORT HOSE TO THE ZONES BOILER DRAIN, MAINTAIN SYSTEM PRESSURE AS NOTED ABOVE, PLACE OPEN END OF HOSE IN A BUCKET AND PURGE AIR BY OPERATING DRAIN VALVE TILL ONLY H20 (NO AIR) COMES OUT. CONTINUE AS NOTED FOR EACH ADDITIONAL ZONE. lc

How do you heat water without stove or oven?

As you probably already know, water boils at 212F (100C). This only applies when at sea level with an atmospheric pressure of 14.7psia. To raise the boiling point all you need to do is raise the pressure. In a steam plant where steam is used to drive turbines, the water is pressurized by heating it in an enclosed system. As the water turns to steam, the steam has no where to escape and the pressure in the enclosed system begins to rise. As the pressure rises so does the boinling point. Some plants will raise the temperature to 500F which corresponds to a pressure of about 620psi.

Is a hydraulic jack a hydraulic or pneumatic system?

Hydraulic , the jack uses fluid under pressure to raise the cylinder , releasing the pressure allows the cylinder to retract. Pneumatics is a similar concept using air pressure.
