Boilers

Archive for the ‘Wood Boiler’ Category

After my horrendous winter gas bill I’m seeking to cut heating costs. I’d prefer some kind of fire that I can burn my rubbish on instead of sending it to the tip.

smokeless fuel, some types of coal and to start it you can use all your old newspapers and cardboard.

We have an outdoor Wood Boiler. We heat our hot water heater with this. We have not had any problems until now. Once the temp on the boiler outside hits 185 then the water starts to come out of the discharge tube on the hot water heater in our garage. I mean run out. Maybe so far today 3 gallons. Once the temp goes down alot cooler on the boiler maybe 110 then the water stops coming out of the tube. The hot water tank is only 3yrs. old.

I’d guess you have the temperature set too high (130 is the recommended max) and the pressure is building up in the tank until it does what it is supposed to, relieve it through the discharge tube.

I’m making a water boiler for an outdoor wood furnace and I want to coat the inside of it with some kind of paint so it doesn’t rust out. Anyone know of a paint that can handle temps up to 200 and prevents rust. The only thing i can think of is engine or header paint. Thanks

get some Liquid glass from jc-whitney,
its used to line tanks
