Stop Wasting Energy — Stop Steam Loss
By Bruce Grossman
This issue I’ll be talking about how to locate faulty check valves in your boiler’s condensate return system. The purpose of a check valve is to limit the flow of water to one direction which is usually indicated by an arrow stamped into the body of the valve which indicates the direction of water flow. These types of valves are used between the boiler return pump and the boiler pressure vessel with the direction of flow towards the boiler. When the boiler’s water level drops lower than the pump activation sensor the pump motor turns on and the pump pulls water from the return tank and pushes it through the check valves into the pressure vessel of the boiler.

Was it a signal indicating the end of the industry? Was it a way to show apathy on the part of the world’s biggest players? Or were these big players becoming more reclusive? Something was changing.
