Read MoreThere are condensing, non condensing, steel or copper water tube or fire tube, to name a few, and efficiencies range from 75% to 96%. You will need to decide if the boiler should be direct vented, closed combustion, modulating, or variable flow. Before you purchase a new boiler, the project should start with a qualified engineering company.
Read More1/8/2006 · Outdoor-air reset has been around for as long as the modern space-heating boiler and is an integral part of all modern controls for condensing boilers. The net effect is that, rather than having a boiler that stops and starts, more exact temperatures are maintained, saving fuel and money.
Read MoreDuring cold outdoor temperatures, the heating load is large and the boilers are often operated at high temperatures, which are above the condensation point of the boiler. Once operating above the condensation point, the high-efficiency boilers no longer recover the latent heat of the flue gases so that their efficiencies are equivalent to a mid-efficiency non-condensing boiler.
Read MoreFor condensing boilers, install an outdoor reset control to match system output to actual load and recommend that homeowners not use a night-time temperature setback strategy. Select settings for the boiler reset curve and flow rates to optimize the performance of the system and to ensure that the return temperatures are low enough to promote condensing ( Arena 2012 ).
Read MoreOn April 8, the EPA posted efficiencies for outdoor wood and pellet boilers, also known as hydronic heaters. Efficiencies ranged from 39 percent to 78 percent as measured using higher heating value. The average qualified outdoor wood boiler is 63 percent efficient and the average pellet boilers is 70 percent.
Read MoreCondensing boilers can achieve greater efficiencies because they capture more heat from the exhaust gases than a conventional boiler. To do this, a condensing boiler has a larger heat exchange surface to enable it to transfer as much heat as possible from the boiler's burner into usable heat, thereby allowing less heat to escape as exhaust gases.
