A high temperature in the boiler hot well can be caused by several factors, including inadequate cooling water supply, malfunctioning temperature sensors, or issues with the heat exchanger. Additionally, if the boiler is operating at a higher load than designed, it may lead to increased heat accumulation. Poor circulation of water within the system can also contribute to elevated temperatures. It’s important to monitor and address these issues to ensure safe and efficient boiler operation.
It heats water to a desired temperature
So the steam can rise from the boiler to the hot water tank storage
No. It won't get the temperature of the oil hot enough.
Boiler should be set at max temperature of 180 degrees for proper heating temperature. 120 degrees is temperature for domestic hot water, not heating temperature. Yes, to answer question, but not recommended.Improved answer. -If you are referring to the hot water heater that gives water to your hot faucets this is not generally known as a 'boiler' (a boiler is for hydronic heating) Your faucet supply can be turned down to any setting between 110 and 160. Normal setting is 130-135. with small children it should be 120. - on most heaters there is an adjustment knob on the gas regulator or the lower electric element . It's well marked and easy to adjust.
For getting better efficiency from boiler, coal is pulverized in mills (powder form) before entering into boiler along with hot air. This is done in order to control damage to boiler tubes and plates due to high (but cheap) sulphur content in coal. These types of boiler are usually called super critical boiler and works on high pressure (3600psi) and temperature (610 degree C) unlike sub critical boilers. alok bh.
The boiler feed pump pumps hot feedwater into the boiler. The boiler pressure is to high for water to flow into it by gravity, so a pump is required.
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.
To turn on a hot water boiler, locate the power switch or control panel and set it to the "on" position. Adjust the thermostat to your desired temperature and wait for the boiler to heat up the water. Make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the manufacturer for your particular boiler model.
Too high a setpoint or other malfunction causing the boiler in a hot water system to make steam.

A boiler mixing valve is used in a heating system to control the temperature of the water that circulates through the system. It mixes hot water from the boiler with cold water to achieve the desired temperature for heating the space. This helps to prevent the water from becoming too hot and causing damage to the system or discomfort to occupants.
A mixing valve in a boiler system regulates the temperature of the water that circulates through the system by blending hot water from the boiler with cold water. This helps maintain a consistent and safe temperature for heating. By controlling the water temperature, the mixing valve ensures that the boiler operates efficiently and effectively, reducing energy consumption and improving overall performance.
