Condensing boilers come with a pipe that carries condensate to an external drain. In colder weather, the condensate pipe can sometimes freeze up, causing noise in the pipes. Your boiler should have a fault code that tells you when its condensate pipe is frozen. What you can do Thawing a co...
Alternatively, focus your attention on the pipes themselves. Any external pipes, including the condensate pipe on a condensing boiler, can freeze in cold weather. A short-term fix is to pour hot (but not boiling) water onto the pipe to warm it up and melt any frozen liquid inside. You ...
The homeowner had known that the boiler was leaking, and previous service technicians had noted that on the boiler's service tags. Remarkably, a section of leaky condensate return piping had been replaced and connected to the nipple at the boiler's back (orange arrows in the photo below). ...
Leaking Water Boiler If you see water around your unit, you may spend between $300 and $635 to have it repaired. The range is wide because this problem also has several causes, ranging from a broken expansion tank to a frozen condensate line. You may also have faulty valves, pipes, seal...
If your boiler’s condensate pipe has frozen you may be able to fix the problem yourself. You can use hot (but not boiling) water to temporarily unfreeze the pipe, then lag it with insulation material. This may help get your boiler started again, but you may still need the experts. ...
The discharge pipework from the safety valve must be unobstructed and drained at the base to prevent the accumulation of condensate. It is good practice to ensure that the discharge pipework is kept as short as possible with the minimum number of bends, so that the allowable backpressure indicate...
The problem with this approach is that when the system is running, the water level drops below the low water mark and the automatic low water feeder (float) adds water. When the condensate returns to the boiler, the level is quite a bit higher than the mark on the low water casing. ...

Feed-water, supplying.-In a steam-condensing and feedwater supply plant in which the condensate is removed from the condenser and delivered to the boilers by rotary pumps, a throttle valve on the discharge side of the feed-pump is closed automatically when the pressure on the suction side of...
