: : cycling on low fire, when load demand is minimum.

: : Thanks BoilingMan.
: : I agree with Raymond on decreasing size of the orifices, but you will probably change the high fire steaming capacity. I would contact the burner manufacturer as well. Not having the manual sitting in front of me, I won't advise you to make any specific changes. Furnace explosions are for real and I've seen two. You can always decrease the cycling of the boiler by increasing the span on the pressuretrol.
Hi! Thanks for attention.
Now: 1. What pressuretroldid U mentioned - High
Limit? It has span now about 10 PSI.
2. Why explosions?
BTW boiler works under such condition more then
4 years, but now, when prices for fuel (gas)are
jumping UP we are considering any possible way
to conserve the recourses.
Thanks, BoilingMan
