R.F. MacDonald Co. Performs Boiler Door Repairs

Boiler Door Refractory

R.F. MacDonald Co. Refractory Dept. has instructed boilermakers how to repair boiler doors both in the shop and in the field for over 10 years. Knowing how to properly rebuild a boiler door is a boilermaker growth requirement at RFM. Our in-house Refractory Dept. provides training for boilermakers during level three of a five-level growth...

Total System Efficiency with Condensing Boilers

Condensing Boilers

In condensing boilers, there is a direct correlation between increasing condensation of the flue gas and boiler efficiency gains. Boilers are closed pressure vessels that are used to heat fluids -- either water or steam. They range in size, fluid to be heated, temperature of fluid and design configurations. This paper is the first in...

Gas Technology: Condensing Hydronic Boilers

hydronic boilers

The key to 99% efficiency is having incoming feedwater below 140° F and modulating the boiler — or having sufficient redundancy to achieve the “sweet spot.” Getting the most for your energy dollar It’s a clever idea. Condensing hydronic boilers can operate at efficiencies in the mid‐90s and above. The key to these fantastic efficiencies...

Effects of Ultra-High Turndown in Hydronic Boilers

Hydronic Boilers

Today, hydronic boilers are producing greater efficiencies than previously thought possible — all due to the advancements of condensing technology. It is the science behind condensing that many people do not take the time to understand, which can lead to misunderstandings and the perpetuation of myths. One of the largest areas of confusion concerns high...
