On the front of the boiler is an external reversing chamber, which again reverses the flue gases and leads them to the end of the boiler in the 3rd smoke tube pass. Hot water boilers are normally completely filled with water during operation. Steam boilers on the other hand are only 3/4 filled with water; the upper quarter is the steam space.
Read MoreA massive 85% of the country rely on gas fired boilers for their hot water and heating, but for the other 2 million homes that can't access the grid, oil tends to be the fuel of choice. Cheaper than electricity and LPG, oil boilers work in a similar way to gas boilers, but the fuel needs to be managed differently.
Read MoreThe above efficiencies work with some other losses and play important roles and are important in considering the efficiency of the boiler and it is therefore essential that they be measured while computing boiler efficiency. 3.5.3.6.1 Combustion efficiency. Boiler combustion efficiency is the suggestion of burner capability to burn fuel.

Boiler combustion efficiency is the suggestion of burner capability to burn fuel.
Read MoreTypical boiler efficiencies range from about 90% for the best solid biomass fuel boilers to close to 95% for oil- and natural gas-fired boilers, Table 3.2. The main reason for the poorer performance of biofuels is the high moisture content of the fuel, which increases flue gas losses.
