This Month’s Technical Program -
Maximizing Condensing Boiler Performance
Joseph “Jody” Samuell Jr.
Application Engineer, Viessmann Manufacturing Co. (U.S.)
Presentation Summary:
This presentation will explore the condensing theory for efficient application of natural gas fired condensing boilers. The following focus topics will be discussed: Operation of condensing boilers in relationship to the flue gas dew point and its effect on efficiency, design water temperature selection and system temperature control and their effect on delivered performance, and heat emitter sizing and selection to maximize system performance. We will also discuss boiler and system piping layout strategies for minimizing operational costs while maximizing efficiency of operation. In addition, during the discussions we will contrast the different approaches between applying condensing equipment as a replacement in existing systems vs. a completely new project.
