Steamer
Bill and I looked at this one yesterday in NW DC. Three English Boiler water tube boilers w/ Webster power burners serve three apartment buildings. The boilers run at 7 PSI and feed three pressure reducing stations where the steam is knocked down to 2-1/2 PSI. The complaints were the usual: high bills, overheating, and uneven heat. For starters, live steam was blowing out of the feed pump vent indicating failed traps. As I told the building owner, "You can pay me once or you can pay Washington Gas monthly". -DF

Pre-heater
The previous boilers burned #6 as a back-up fuel supply. These old pre-heaters used steam to preheat the oil. They have long since been disconnected. -DF

Is that an...
Dan,
Is that an AutoFlame Mini-Mk.5/6 on the panel in front
of the Maxon's, if so, seems they have no problem
parting with some coin?
On balance the boiler room doesn't look too bad?
Lot of potential in there for savings, if, if, if..they.
These are the type of jobs "case studies" are based on.
Good luck, Regards, db0 -
now we know
why it has been so warm this winter, tell them I said thanks for keeping my heating bills down.--see pic 6
maybe you could use that for an ad--put some $$$$ signs around the escaping steam or use that to get them to take your pitch
Can I use that picture to show my students what to look for outside a building??
Good luck finding all the traps, a temp gun and stethoscope work fast. Blueprints would be nice to help find them.0 -
Auto Flame
Good eye, db. Yes that is an AutoFlame Mini MM Mk.6 that monitors and adjusts the combustion parameters. These boilers are only a couple of years old. We didn't do the job but looks like big $$. -DF
