How does a boiler work and general principle of a boiler

A boiler is also more commonly known as central heating. It feeds the radiants of the hearth and, also, produces, most often, the domestic hot water. Regardless of the fuel chosen, the Boiler installation in Harrow is roughly similar.

The general principle of a boiler

A boiler transmits heat, calories, water or heat transfer fluid depending on the model, which will, in turn, be transmitted to heat emitters (radiators, heated floors ...) and water for heating. the production of domestic hot water. In some cases, the Boiler installation in HA1produce only heat, but no domestic hot water. To produce this heat, the boiler produces a combustion, realized thanks to a fuel ( gas , fuel oil , wood , or pellets). Water or coolant circulates in the boiler, around and in the firebox. The temperature of this liquid rises as it winds closer and closer to the fireplace, and then once at the right temperature, the liquid continues its course towards the heat emitters. It is also used to heat water for sanitary purposes, either instantaneously or by accumulating in a balloon.

Variations according to boiler systems

The basic operation remains the same for all boilers. It is somewhat different depending on the types of boilers. Thus, for a condensing boiler, the performance is increased, thanks to the additional use of combustion fumes usually lost during the evacuation of combustion gases. These contain water. This steam condenses in the boiler, allowing increasing the temperature of the coolant, in addition to conventional combustion, and thus improves the efficiency for a reduction in energy consumption. When we talk about boiler at low temperature, the principle remains the same, except that the temperature reached is lower. A sucker Boiler installation in HA2 takes air not in the room where it is located, but directly outside. The boiler itself is therefore hermetic and is not connected to a conventional flue, but to a double concentric duct, coming out on the facade. The air is thus taken from the outside of the duct and the smoke from the inside.

The operation of the condensing gas boiler

The operation of the condensing gas boiler is based on the same principle as a traditional boiler and also makes it possible to take advantage of all the energy produced during the combustion of the gas. In a conventional boiler, the central heating water circuit is warmed by burning natural gas. The Boiler installation in HA3 takes advantage of the energy contained in the flue gases. The fumes emitted during the combustion of natural gas contain water vapor. The latter condenses, releasing heat. The return water from the heating circuit heats up with this energy. The evacuation of the water released during the condensation (the condensates) is done by the sewage network.

The condensing gas boiler can be used in many cases

Whether attached to the floor or wall, a condensing gas boiler can be connected to all hot water heating systems. For a house with a basement or a garage, the boiler on the ground is indicated. The wall-mounted boiler is particularly compact and has the advantage of freeing the floor surface. Being able to be equipped with a hot water tank, the condensing gas boiler is generally supplied by the town gas network, but can also be supplied by means of a tank.

Operation of a condensing oil boiler

Unlike a low temperature boiler, the Boiler installation in HA4 uses a maximum of the energy produced during the combustion of the fuel oil. This boiler can easily replace your old boiler because it connects to the central heating system. Its performance will be maximum if the heat emitters you use are low temperatures

The operation of the oil condensing boiler

The oil fired condensing boiler works at the base like a traditional oil boiler. It is fed by a tank located outside or inside the house. The combustion of the oil warms the heating water circuit. Where its operation differs is that it allows recovering the energy of fumes released during the combustion of fuel oil. Indeed, the condensation of the water vapor contained in the fumes releases heat to heat the return water of the heating circuit. Boiler installation in HA8 converts the water vapor into liquid (condensate) which is then discharged and discharged through the wastewater circuit. The condensing boilers allows using the energy contained in the fumes. It is this principle that allows it to have such a high rate of energy efficiency.

The condensing oil boiler can work in most homes

The oil condensing boiler can be installed in most homes to replace your old boiler. Boiler installation in HA7 is indeed possible to connect it to all hot water heating installations. On the other hand, if you are heated with electric radiators, the work to be undertaken is important because it is necessary to replace your radiators by water emitters working at low temperature preferably. If you are not already heated with oil, it is also necessary to install a tank to store the fuel. Finally, it should be noted that a Boiler installation in Wembley can also incorporate a balloon to produce hot water. To find out if this type of installation is part of the solutions adapted to your home, we invite you to use our energy saving simulator.

Achieve optimum performance from its oil fired condensing boiler

. Heat-treated radiators or floor heating systems optimize the  efficiency of your oil-fired condensing boiler , unlike high-temperature heating systems, which operate with water temperatures above 55 ° C. It is therefore important to know that the performance of your boiler depends on the type of transmitter you are equipped with or will install. A skilled craftsman will provide you with advice adapted to your accommodation.

The importance of fumes evacuation from the oil fired condensing boiler

The production of fumes is an inherent consequence of the operation of a condensing oil boiler. These fumes must be evacuated through an exhaust duct. If your home does not have one, it is advisable to have one installed by a professional. If a duct is already in place, you must also call on a qualified craftsman who will check its condition and compatibility with your boiler. It may be necessary to double the tuber, to prevent damage caused by the moisture and acidity of the fumes released. In addition, the condensing boiler must be connected to the wastewater network to allow the evacuation of condensate caused by the condensation of combustion fumes. This will be evacuated by a thin duct connected to the wastewater network.
