2 Steamers In One House

EzzyT

We replaced 2 oversized leaking steamers with 2 Crown BSI-69,000 btu steamers. Piped with our standard 3” drop headers, water seals, demineralized filters and analog meters with resettable counters.
Would like to thank @clammy for helping us out on this one. 

Just need to go back to replace the radiator vents, skim and wand the boiler some more.

Looks awesome as usual Was the flue pipe a PIA?

EzzyT

Thanks Steve, not so much.

Is the plan to isolate one except when you require both?
In the seventies some building owners replaced big boilers with multiple smaller ones. I think the scheme worked better for steam than HHW.

EzzyT

No this is a two family house with each apartment having there own steam systems. The tenants pay for there own heat and hot water.

I guess this is the only right was to zone steam without any problems.

trv s work well for two pipe steam. Blanketing radiators also works.
