I was recently checking a powerflame burners combustion efficency - was 70%- this is on a 900,000 btu steam boiler. I,m a little uneasy about how much adjustment the combustion air took to get the efficency up to 79%. The one thing imm not sure of is what the combustion chamber pressure and the draft pressures should be, the draft adjustment damper was 100% open now 75% closed, I had positive.5"WC in the chamber and -.25 in the flue. dose this sound normal.

Depends
It depends on the boiler it's fired into. Given it's a PF burner, I'd suggest you call Steve Groves 620-421-0480. He's with PF and a very helpful resource (and seems like real nice guy!!) - I've spoken with him a bunch over the years.0 -
