Why water demineralized used in a boiler?
In water a lot of impurities are present when we use such water it will produce slice formation inside the tube of boiler due to which there is slice formation takes place and heat will not transfer properly . temperature of the boiler tubes are about 1400 degree centigrade.if heat is not flow properly through tubes then tubes will melt.
Pros and cons of electric heat?
PROs easy to install, quite, each room can be individually set to a different temperature, uses no water so prevents possible freeze-up and leakage issues, lower chance of fires because there is no flame source, saves on lost square footage for boiler area CONs depending on the local utility rates, using electric to heat may be the most expensive method
Is in floor electric radiant heat energy efficient?
Very efficient and warm on the feet. I have it. One drawback is the initial cost is higher for installation over other heating systems. Once the floor slab heats up there is minimal input heat to keep it there.
What is the boiler capacity unit?
Boiler loads, or the capacity of steam boilers, are often rated in boiler horsepower, lbs of steam delivered per hour, or BTU. Large boiler capacities are often given in lbs of steam evaporated per hour under specified steam conditions. Since the amount of steam delivered varies with temperature and pressure, a common expression of the boiler capacity is the heat transferred over time expressed as British Thermal Units per hour.
What is the formula to calculate how many feet of electric baseboard heat?
The rule of thumb is, most spaces require 10 watts per square foot of space for homes built since the 1970's.
How many btu to heat 1000 square feet?
It takes about 50,000 btus to heat 1000 square feet
How does a hydronic boiler work?
The boiler in a hydronic heating system is just a heat source. An electric or gas water heater could be used as well. Proper design and installation are the key attributes.
What is WHRB boiler?
waste heat recovery boiler
Describe three ways heat can be transferred in a boiler?
what are the 3 ways to transferred heat into a boiler
What is the heating effect of electric current to oil?
Electric boilers require approximately 3 1/2 kilowatts per boiler horsepower. Fuel oil typically produces approximately 3.5 boiler horsepower per gallon of oil burned*. *This depends on several factors in boiler design, furnace design and fuel heat content.
What is a Triton electric shower and how does it differ from other showers?
A 'Triton Electric Shower' is a shower that can draw on a cold water supply and heat it on demand. It differs from other showers in the fact that it can use cold water and heat it itself, instead of relying on a boiler to heat the water first.
What are good electric underfloor heating systems?
I would use an electric boiler and use hot water to heat your floor. It is much more economical. Check with your local plumber and he will give you a quote.
How heat flux affects performance of the boiler?
Heat flux is the primary performance paramater in boiler performance. Heat flux can be affected by many factors espacially by boiler tube fouling ( or exchange surfaces) that will considerably reduce heat exchange.
How many btu do you need to heat 1000 square feet?
50,000 btu
How do you heat canned nacho cheese?
I would recommend using a double boiler. If a double boiler is unavailable, I would heat it on low heat and stir it frequently.

(Select all that apply)*= [] Gas smell [] Power failure [] No heat in one location [] No heat in all locations [] Cracked radiator [] Leaky radiator [] Leaky boiler [] Pilot light out on boiler [] Broken baseboard radiator cover [] Radiant heat pump not functioning [] Hammering noise in radiator [] Too much heat in some locations [] Annual/Preventative Maintenance
Why economiser is used in boiler?
An economizer is used to heat boiler feedwater up closer to the temperature of the boiler water, using heat from the boiler exhaust gases, heat that would otherwise be wasted. The main reason is to improve the efficiency of the boiler. For every 44 degree F drop in exhaust gas temp. there is an 11 F rise in feedwater temperature and a 1% gain in boiler efficiency.
