To check your boiler’s pressure, you need to locate the pressure gauge on your boiler. If there is the correct amount of pressure in your system, the needle should be between 1 and 2 bar. This area is usually designated in green. Below 1 and greater than 2 is in red, indicating critical zones. Some boilers have a pressure gauge with 2 needles—the red needle serves as a marker while the black one shows the actual pressure.

How a boiler works really depends on the kind of boiler you have. But the primary purpose of all boilers is to transfer heat to water. Basically, boilers work by heating water or producing steam that is then used to heat a home. But, of course, that’s a barebones explanation of how boilers work.

Maintenance of proper pH throughout the boiler feedwater, boiler, and condensate systems is essential for corrosion control. Most low-pressure boiler system operators monitor boiler water alkalinity because it correlates very closely with pH, while most feedwater, condensate, and high-pressure boiler water requires direct monitoring of pH.

The boiler's automatic filling system, controlled by the pressure-reducing valve, should maintain the proper water level at 12 to 15 psi of pressure. If there is no pressure-reducing valve, you can manually feed the boiler by opening up the water feed valve until the boiler pressure reaches 12 psi.

Boiler pressure stays too high. If your boiler pressure stays too high despite water being drained out of the system via a drain cock, there is a fault. In this case you should check where the safety pipe from the 3 bar pressure relief valve dumps its water. This is usually directly outside through a wall or into an internal tun dish.

The boiler is often the largest, most expensive, and potentially most dangerous piece of equipment, if not operated and maintained properly. Even the most sophisticated high-temperature and pressure watertube boiler can be simply described as pressure parts (drums, headers, and steel tubes) which contain high-pressure steam and water.

A boiler moderates your central heating and your water, though it is important to remember that boiler pressure and water pressure are two separate things. Boiler pressure refers to the pressure of hot water running in your sealed central heating system, while water pressure is the pressure of the water coming through your taps.

May 03, 2000 · The "steeper" the pump curve, the greater the incremental rise in pressure as each zone valve closes. A high-head pump with a steep curve can create high velocity flow in piping when only one or two zones are operating. The high gP can even lift the plugs of zone valves that are supposed to be closed, causing heat migration into inactive zones.

Why is my boiler pressure too high? Once the boiler begins to heat water, the heated water expands and causes the pressure gauge to increase. With an expansion vessel, boilers are well-set to control these quick leaps in pressure so you don’t need to worry if the boiler shows a higher pressure than you expected when you are both using the
Read MoreIn watertube boilers, boiler water passes through the tubes while the exhaust gases remain in the shell side, passing over the tube surfaces. Because tubes can typically withstand higher internal pressure than the large chamber shell in a firetube, watertube boilers are used where high steam pressures (3,000 psi, sometimes higher) are required.

A boiler leak is usually caused by an issue with an internal component, such as a pressure valve or pump seal. If the leak stems from your pressure relief valve, it is likely that your system’s pressure has become too high. Should the leak be due to a problem with the pump seal, the seal could have worn out.
