I have a Wohler 335. Was just asking what was the better gun to go.

Buderus 215...conversion

Anyone ever  done a conversion burner on a Buderus 215? I have a customer who is inquiring about pulling the riello f10 for a gas set up? What would be the best option for a burner? Carlin or Riello? ty,kpc

I hope everyone is making sure the vents on the power vented equipment are clear....

Supply still.

pumpimg away from the point of no pressure change... aka the expansion tank.

now we are getting....

somewhere.
 The north side of a house is prob the worst side to locate a boiler boiler w/ a direct/ concentric vent. The wind blowing can give you all kinds of issues.Delayed ignition just one.

I presume....

@ February 2, 2012 10:24 PM in Rinnai E110CP explosive ignition and low heat

The flue pipe is the concentric Ubink pipe? How long? How many sections? It is possible there is a rolled o-ring causing cross contamination? Very odd. all those changes and still an issue... Where in the house is the boiler located? What side of the house? Do you get a lot of wind?
I agree on the set back... if the boiler has outdoor reset set back  tstats are a poor match.

Sounds like there.....

@ February 2, 2012 8:18 AM in Opinions on Trianco Heatmaker

is a short in a t-stat wire... causing the endswitch to be on all the time.. What happens if you pull the t -stat wire off the boiler?

I agree...

@ February 1, 2012 9:07 PM in Turning outdoor reset advice

find the right setting/ temp and leave it.

generally speaking.....

Oil is less money to do so. Even w/ 95% lp and 85% oil equipment.... of course if you are getting a smoking hot deal on lp maybe not. What are the fuel costs?

It could be a number.....

@ January 31, 2012 8:06 AM in Boiler is short cycling

of things. The boiler could be oversized. If there are zone valves the anticipater on the tstat could be causing them to open and close the end switch. Or the operating control could be a bit wonky....
 

I believe...

the tank-in-tank design has the lowest flow loss. You most likley have to pipe it in 1 1/4" That would be TTube. Then do the mix valve on it.

Seems like...

@ January 30, 2012 10:38 PM in Alpine 150 gas boiler at Low temps

you are doing your best. Thats @*&^#*!  COLD. Maybe get that gas line buried/ insulated. Cold air does all kinds of wacked stuff on combustion. I had a problem w/ that on Direct vent oil boilers.... I had 2 feet of frost inside on the intake pipe @ -16 F here in NH. I am surprised the sensor froze up....

wow... long post.

@ January 30, 2012 9:12 PM in snap/banging sound from PEX, doesn't keep up on cold nights upstairs

Is there insulation? how much? Was there a  heatloss done? How long are the loops? What do you have for tubing? O2 barrier pex? What do you have for a boiler?

I'm in New Hampshire....

@ January 30, 2012 6:21 PM in Oil Tank to burner....

so NFPA 31 would be the rule. I have a email into the AHJ... ty,kpc

You sure....

@ January 30, 2012 6:04 PM in Boiler for radiant floor heat

about the TT used w/ non barrier pipe? Page 1 of the install manual warns against fresh water/ O2  in excess.... it really shouldn't matter if the O2 is getting in by a leak adding water fresh or non barrier tubing.... still is O2.

Don't you...

just love dealing w/ people who have no idea what they are talking about.....

In that case....

@ January 30, 2012 7:53 AM in Boiler for radiant floor heat

It looks like you will need a Heat exchanger of some type. A brazed plate is most common. For the boiler it all depends on what you want to spend. You could go conventional ans install a cast iron unit like a Weil-McClain CGs of you could go all out and go w/ a wall hung condensing. personally i like the Smith GC160/ Embassy Onex. The Triangle tube prestige is fine too. I personally don't like the Alum block units either.

I love the.....

@ January 29, 2012 7:33 AM in Cirualation pump

Hoffman 75 steam vent on the air scoop..... the expansion tank should be connected there instead. There should be no automatic air vents on the system when using a conventional expansion tank. There definitely should be a boiler staging control w/ multiple boilers....otherwise you might as well just use 1 boiler. Time for a re pipe..... in the spring.

What is the system...

@ January 29, 2012 7:24 AM in Hammering on zone turn-on

running @ for pressure? I would say try a Delta P circ but if you can make the system hammer w/ nothing on..... No other check valves in the loops, other than the ZV?

something....

@ January 28, 2012 10:01 PM in Water Temp / Boiler Plugging

doesn't add up. That may be a misprint.  160F  is pretty high by Euro heating standards.

put a floor....

@ January 28, 2012 7:55 PM in Aluminum distribution Plates?

sensor in the area around the fireplace 10 feet of so away. That way the floor can heat up and anticipate when the fireplace is on. Tekmar 511 is a choice.

Sounds like....

a gravity conversion. How is the near boiler piping. the 26-99 is WAY too big. more like a 15-58 on low speed/ spd1.
