    Sounds like a low flow condition. How many pumps are on your system? Got pictures?

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Could be the boiler is over sized for the loads(s) is it a zoned system? What type of heat emitters. how about a load calculation for the building.

    Copper tube boilers are a fairly low mass, low water content boiler. Without a consistent load they were prone to short cycling.

    As mentioned above you boiler needs constant full flow when it is firing. Sounds like a flow restriction or a pump is not working

    I have the same problem with my epb 110. It started to give short term hot water and worsened to only 10 second intervals before cold water ran. I am looking for apost that may offer similar assistance.

    It is probably better to start another post with all the details of your problem including pictures.

    Could be flow issue. Is this a new development, or something you just took notice of?

    Seems some flow is occurring to drop 30 degrees in 1:30 min.

    Is it warmer outside now?

    They are suppose to be piped primary/secondary. I've yet to see one piped that way.

    Or, at least, with a bypass.

    If I'm not mistaken... That Laars is a copper finned boiler. Similar to a Lochinvar. You definitely have a flow issue. I've seen it many times before. These boilers have a very small volume. If you don't have constant flow through the boiler it will over heat in less than a minute. It might make some pretty weird sounds as the water boils inside the boiler. I would say your flow restriction is either from a failed pump or air lock. My money would be on a bad pump. You need a technician.

    I always thought piping a copper fin boiler with primary secondary was mandatory
