Could be wrong as i haven't used the tool myself but it says it measures it. Always appreciate your videos, keep up the good work boss! Happy hollidays to you and all your guys!

  • @consolidatedplumbingandhea4390

    Happy Holidays, to my knowledge on most combustion analyzers. CO2 is a calculation off of O2, not an actual sensor. It is why in the days of the old red fluid (for oil), you had to make sure you were on the wright side of the scale with our CO2 since with very high or very low 02 you can have the same CO2. O2 is a much better reading to go with along with CO. Most manufactures that give you a CO2 number to look for also will give you an O2. A package boiler like you are working on here is a 6 to 9% O2, the manufacture must make sure it is not capable of a stable over 400 ppm "Air Free, if you contact Burnham about the Independence 400 ppm is the only number they will give you. Yes, I know industry practices go from 200 ppm down to 50 ppm as allowable (stable) "Air Free". Burnham will also give you an O2 range on the Independence, though neither number is in the manual, just gas pressure readings. Does not matter the efficiency, while the numbers change by level of efficacy of CO and 02 the manufacturer wants to see, it is the O2 and CO numbers that come in to play the most on gas fired equipment.

  • @nightone9720
    @nightone9720 Рік тому

    It filled due to the pressure inside the water heater tank and the tank hot outlet has pressure from the vertical pipe going through the house. So when the feeder called it just took the 60 psi from the domestic/hot water tank and pushed it into the steam boiler that is at a much lower pressure.

    Hello, Peter. Start with power when thinking about the sequence of operation. When the boiler power switch is ON, you are energizing the transformer, which allows the 24VAC power to go to the thermostat, which can send a W1 call to the boiler. If the safeties are all closed and the boiler temp control allows it, the ignition control will ignite the flame by opening the gas valve and providing a spark or hot surface and look for flame proving (unless there is a standing pilot flame like you have in this case) and the boiler begins heating. The circulator pump control can energize the circulator for a call for that zone, and you are off to the races.

      My friend focus on perfecting your craft in the industry (which you will not get in a years experience) before considering opening up your own company. If you’re asking the questions on what parts to carry in your truck for common issues found in the plumbing and hvac business then you are a far ways away from running a SUCCESSFUL business. Not to deter you from your ambitions but be realistic and build skill before you start putting your name on something you can feel confident owning
