Usually called 'kettling' here, caused by scale &/or rust deposits causing localize overheating and boiling. This data sheet has the whole story.

Your water treatment specilaist should have something to shift the deposits.

Forced hot water Boiling sound
I have a customer with a Forced Hot Water Burnham P207 making a boiling sound. Boiler is about 20 years old. It is running at about 30 psi, we are going to change out the auto feed, pressure relief and extroll tank, but I know that will not stop the boiling sound. Also if they use any hot water of the supper store 60 they get little to no heat out of there other 8 base board zones. They are also about 100,000 over the capacity of the boiler in attached load. This problem is getting worse. We plan on putting a bigger boiler in spring time. Could the existing boiler be plugging. How can it be cleared.

like the high limit is over riding,whats the temp. on the gauge? Over 200* Dave0 -
Temp is fine at 180, we drained some water to lower the pressure back to 21 psi. Boiler still sounds like a percolator.0 -
Oxidation
Is there some way for a lot of makeup water to have been needed? Try turning off the automatic feed and see what happens after a few days.

Rhomar water systems has chemicals to clean the inside of your boiler. Best Wishes J.Lockard0
