Silent Steam Team
United States
Приєднався 27 жов 2014
We work on functioning antique heating systems (mainly steam & and some hot water), getting them to perform to their maximum comfort and reliability.
As our channel name suggests, steam systems should be almost silent in their operation.
It is a sad fact that all too many believe noisy steam heating systems is normal, when, in fact, the very opposite is true!
Join us, as we explore these wonderful historic systems with their charming quirks and eccentricities.!
We enjoy sharing our insights on this channel to getting steam heating systems to operate as originally intended by those who have gone before, and perhaps correcting unfortunate mistakes by those who have come after.

First Steam Boiler That I Installed On My Own - Thirty Years Ago
Переглядів 792День тому
If this Burnham boiler was installed after 2000, it would have likely failed by now. I don't know what happened to cause those premature failures after 2000, but they tried to gaslight us that it was chlorides or such in the water.

We asked for a labor allowance to correct their mistake of leaving that hidden 1/2" plug out and causing us to take the boiler apart to fix it. They are sending a check for 29% less than we asked for.

Rust Never Sleeps - McDonnell & Miller #67 Low Water Cut Off Steam Boiler "Safety" Control
Переглядів 710Місяць тому
Rusticles grow out from the cast iron body of the McDonnel & Miller #67 and grab the internal float to keep it working, potentially causing your boiler to burn up. Check it weekly during the heating season by turning on your boiler and going down to the basement and draining the control. The burner *should* shut off. Stop draining and the burner should come back on. Please check out my other vi...

Adding Main Vents At The End Of A Steam Main That Has A Horizontal Drip - Eccentric Couplings Rule!
Переглядів 835Місяць тому
Using concentric reducer couplings at the end of a steam main is poor piping practice, as it can hold significant amounts of water in the path of the travailing steam. Sometimes, you can sort of get away with this. Sometimes.

Trane Coal Heating Era Vapor Steam Direct Return Trap
Переглядів 5922 місяці тому
Trane was one of many steam or vapor heating companies that made direct return traps back during the coal burning steam heating era. They are essentially steam powered water pumps. The Dead Men didn't have a lot of trouble making or moving steam (in a sense, it moved itself). The problem arose when the condensate water had to get back into the boiler while it was under pressure. The direct retu...
