Water temp In Solia Boiler
Eric L._2
Member Posts: 94
Had a Solaia put in at a relatives house and the water temp never really goes over 140 degrees. It replaced an old converted coal boiler and the risers are pretty big (2"= inches I think). The boiler was purchased with the sentry package which is like a heattimer box. We had a heatloss done and the boiler is properly sized but like I said the temp never goes above 140 degrees. Any thoughts?

That's probably normal
sounds like you have a converted gravity system. The radiators on these were often oversized, so they don't need to get that hot to heat the house- especially if the house has had insulation, window upgrades etc. done to it.All Steamed Up, Inc.

And then the obvious question is...
does the system get the house warm enough? If it does, not to worry, eh?Br. Jamie, osb

The other....
question is... does the boiler stay too cool for too long and how long does it condense for. How is it piped? Do you have pictures?0
