#23 How can I protect a boiler system from condensation?

August 03, 2021 • Caleffi North America, Inc. • Episode 23

Straight from the Ask Caleffi Podcast studio, Greg and Dan dive into boiler protection. Let's face it when high-temperature, mid-efficient boilers condense... it's a mess! How can that be prevented? Greg and Dan talk about solutions, including a "Swiss Army Knife" approach. They discuss how the ThermoProtec thermostatic mixing valves work and where they should be piped with steel, cast iron, and copper tube style boilers to ensure that they automatically control the return water temperature, preventing condensation of water vapor contained in the flue gas. Familiar with a soot vac? Don't forget maintenance!
