Hi all,
I serviced this boiler this week, changing the relief valve, boiler feed valve, tridicater gauge, motor mounts, coulper and bearing assembly on the residence pump. I suggested they would save big bucks with a boiler changeout. Our salesman came by while I was working on it and asked what I wanted.
Here is my suggestion. Put in two or three condensing boilers with a primary loop, boilers and zones as the secondaries. Replace the expansion tank with extrol tank or tanks and install spirovents. Use variable speed pumps to replace the current pumps and leave the zone valves. Also install isolation valves all around!
Please let me know if that is a good idea or bad or what would be the best way to replace this boiler!
We have Munchkin, Knight and Prestige condensing boilers available. Venting would go 60 to 70 feet.
Funeral home was built in 1961 and the boiler is original. Each section of the boiler is 250,000btu and the far left is not used.
