in Strictly Steam
while i wait to rebuild my messed up one pipe steam system i had an insigt
1=water is driven up into the system. 2=the water level in the LWCO drops
and the water fills up a bit and when the steam condenses the burner is over filled and hammers.
classic....
so what if my wet returns were larger....
more water in the system down low so that the water level wont drop as much in the sight glass.
