okay those of you who wanted me to do my
00:00:12.049 00:00:12.059 boiler video well here we are we're in
00:00:15.530 00:00:15.540 my basement and as you can see this is a
00:00:17.390 00:00:17.400 relatively large boiler this is a
00:00:19.730 00:00:19.740 commercial boiler boiler heats up
00:00:22.490 00:00:22.500 approximately 72 and 73 families this is
00:00:28.339 00:00:28.349 a steam boiler this is a one pipe
00:00:30.200 00:00:30.210 heating system the greater fuel that I
00:00:34.490 00:00:34.500 burn is number six oil which is the
00:00:36.860 00:00:36.870 heaviest thicky the thickest nastiest
00:00:39.260 00:00:39.270 grade of oil that you can possibly burn
00:00:41.299 00:00:41.309 just to give you a quick talk
00:00:42.790 00:00:42.800 description on what this oil ash
00:00:44.779 00:00:44.789 something looks like ours but you can
00:00:46.160 00:00:46.170 avoid dealing with this type of water I
00:00:48.190 00:00:48.200 will do so in a hurry okay this is the
00:00:57.439 00:00:57.449 number six oil looks like almost like a
00:00:59.569 00:00:59.579 black guitar it's thick as hell it has a
00:01:01.700 00:01:01.710 heavy residue this is my strainer cup or
00:01:04.369 00:01:04.379 my strainer basket where I put my strain
00:01:07.490 00:01:07.500 is in the clean if this is the strainers
00:01:09.080 00:01:09.090 that I use actually clean that actually
00:01:11.000 00:01:11.010 our strain the oil to remove of any dirt
00:01:15.890 00:01:15.900 and deposits currently I have the pump
00:01:19.480 00:01:19.490 as well as the boiler off for this
00:01:23.090 00:01:23.100 presentation which I will be turning it
00:01:25.760 00:01:25.770 back on in the short period of time I
00:01:27.469 00:01:27.479 might actually have to do a three series
00:01:29.440 00:01:29.450 or video into this because it might take
00:01:32.450 00:01:32.460 a little while alright so let me just
00:01:35.630 00:01:35.640 explain to you briefly what you're
00:01:36.950 00:01:36.960 looking at this right here this
00:01:38.240 00:01:38.250 compartment here is a burner or vareity
00:01:41.270 00:01:41.280 or blower motor inside this is a nozzle
00:01:45.160 00:01:45.170 that pretty much projects the oil inside
00:01:49.520 00:01:49.530 the combustion chamber which is right
00:01:51.710 00:01:51.720 here and this is actually grab a part of
00:01:55.490 00:01:55.500 else I'm not going to touch it
00:01:57.139 00:01:57.149 for too long
00:01:59.130 00:01:59.140 but also just getting a quick
00:02:03.010 00:02:03.020 description on this boiler this system
00:02:06.550 00:02:06.560 is a one pipe steam heating system if
00:02:08.290 00:02:08.300 you take a look this boiler does heat
00:02:10.180 00:02:10.190 and also the Massicotte water this this
00:02:13.300 00:02:13.310 contraption that I'm zooming in right
00:02:15.250 00:02:15.260 now this is the tankless coil for the
00:02:19.750 00:02:19.760 domestic hot water this is how the
00:02:21.340 00:02:21.350 building gets its hot water as well now
00:02:24.490 00:02:24.500 a lot of people would wonder how is it
00:02:26.710 00:02:26.720 that you can get hot water out of a
00:02:28.030 00:02:28.040 boiler mixing the two waters and I'm
00:02:32.860 00:02:32.870 going to explain that right now because
00:02:34.270 00:02:34.280 you see with this section here there is
00:02:39.820 00:02:39.830 a element basically a coil that extracts
00:02:42.940 00:02:42.950 hot water or attracts heat from the hot
00:02:45.370 00:02:45.380 water inside of the boiler if you take a
00:02:47.140 00:02:47.150 look at the sight glass the water level
00:02:49.240 00:02:49.250 is usually about two here
00:02:52.030 00:02:52.040 all right above the portly element
00:02:54.160 00:02:54.170 itself and the rest of it is near a drum
00:02:57.820 00:02:57.830 for the steam now if you take a good
00:03:00.070 00:03:00.080 look at the sight glass which I'm going
00:03:01.840 00:03:01.850 to have to disconnect the camera one
00:03:03.190 00:03:03.200 more time again or might have to do it
00:03:04.930 00:03:04.940 several times whatever it takes but if
00:03:07.300 00:03:07.310 you take a look at the sight glass which
00:03:09.130 00:03:09.140 is over here you can see that I have
00:03:11.440 00:03:11.450 automatic water feed hooked up to it the
00:03:14.229 00:03:14.239 plumbing work is shitty as hell because
00:03:15.699 00:03:15.709 a plumber that we had to work today very
00:03:17.440 00:03:17.450 fucked up job and honestly I don't
00:03:21.910 00:03:21.920 recommend it in nobody but nevertheless
00:03:23.530 00:03:23.540 you can see that the sight glass shows
00:03:25.540 00:03:25.550 the water right above this element for
00:03:29.020 00:03:29.030 the hot water for the boiler from his
00:03:31.449 00:03:31.459 tank with coil also known as a heat
00:03:35.350 00:03:35.360 exchanger and you also can see that
00:03:37.270 00:03:37.280 there is an automatic water feed with
00:03:39.130 00:03:39.140 low water cutoff now this is the device
00:03:41.170 00:03:41.180 that should be bled out once a week I
00:03:43.120 00:03:43.130 believe do that once a week or sometimes
00:03:44.590 00:03:44.600 twice a week I usually do it with a
00:03:46.420 00:03:46.430 burner on since I already did it with a
00:03:47.860 00:03:47.870 burner one I'm not going to do it with
00:03:49.060 00:03:49.070 the burner on again so I bleed it up for
00:03:50.530 00:03:50.540 you this is currently piped into my
00:03:52.780 00:03:52.790 drainage system which takes the water
00:03:55.000 00:03:55.010 back to a sump pump it and the sump pump
00:03:59.710 00:03:59.720 distributed or dispersed of the water
00:04:01.479 00:04:01.489 into the sewer and normally I tend to do
00:04:03.550 00:04:03.560 this about three good times to establish
00:04:06.580 00:04:06.590 the water comes back inside of this site
00:04:09.580 00:04:09.590 glass clean or cleaner than with
00:04:11.949 00:04:11.959 normally what if you did it just once
00:04:14.880 00:04:14.890 now taking a look at this number six oil
00:04:17.409 00:04:17.419 burner there's a couple of compartments
00:04:20.050 00:04:20.060 that are on here I have my oil pressure
00:04:22.270 00:04:22.280 gauge which tells me how much oil is in
00:04:24.730 00:04:24.740 the line currently I have it off so it's
00:04:26.830 00:04:26.840 not going to register anything I also
00:04:28.810 00:04:28.820 have a temperature gauge for the oil now
00:04:33.969 00:04:33.979 the next thing that I want to make clear
00:04:35.350 00:04:35.360 before you can actually run another six
00:04:37.270 00:04:37.280 auto boiler there's several different
00:04:40.779 00:04:40.789 phases that the oil must go through the
00:04:42.640 00:04:42.650 oil must go through a problem a primary
00:04:46.390 00:04:46.400 heat phase but a tank is heated up to
00:04:48.760 00:04:48.770 about 100 degrees to 120 degrees if I'm
00:04:51.250 00:04:51.260 not mistaken Fahrenheit and then you
00:04:53.560 00:04:53.570 have the pre heater that heats the oil
00:04:56.409 00:04:56.419 directly before it gets into the ignites
00:04:58.659 00:04:58.669 into the burner so let me show you
00:05:00.310 00:05:00.320 exactly what we're looking at oil pump
00:05:05.770 00:05:05.780 once again and of course there's a bunch
00:05:07.480 00:05:07.490 of different pipes here which nobody
00:05:09.190 00:05:09.200 knows what the hell they're going to if
00:05:10.839 00:05:10.849 you never seen the inside of this but I
00:05:12.640 00:05:12.650 know it what each and every one of the
00:05:13.870 00:05:13.880 pipes go to but I'll get to that in a
00:05:15.580 00:05:15.590 minute this right here is my sidearm
00:05:17.560 00:05:17.570 heater okay if you take a look at this
00:05:20.400 00:05:20.410 this sidearm heat is just basically a
00:05:23.529 00:05:23.539 heat exchanger and basically how it
00:05:26.110 00:05:26.120 works is it works off of hot water in
00:05:27.940 00:05:27.950 the boiler I keep the boiler about 200
00:05:30.279 00:05:30.289 degrees since I'm burning number six oil
00:05:31.900 00:05:31.910 and I have a circulator pump that are
00:05:34.000 00:05:34.010 constantly recirculate or moves water up
00:05:37.029 00:05:37.039 into the solid on heater
00:05:38.429 00:05:38.439 in fact it to the boiler which keeps
00:05:40.229 00:05:40.239 this at a certain temperature and it
00:05:42.479 00:05:42.489 also what you have in this scenario here
00:05:44.579 00:05:44.589 is very similar to the coil that I
00:05:46.409 00:05:46.419 showed you on front of the boiler that
00:05:49.049 00:05:49.059 makes the domestic hot water is that oil
00:05:51.179 00:05:51.189 flows through coils or tubes inside of
00:05:54.299 00:05:54.309 this sidearm heater and exchanges heat
00:05:56.189 00:05:56.199 it's a to pass Sidon heater so you have
00:05:58.229 00:05:58.239 the oil flow going from the top
00:06:01.139 00:06:01.149 back down to the bottom and back into
00:06:03.299 00:06:03.309 the into the oil tank and one goes also
00:06:06.419 00:06:06.429 into the burner also now far as this
00:06:12.209 00:06:12.219 contraption here is this is it the hot
00:06:14.639 00:06:14.649 water the domestic hot water system
00:06:17.219 00:06:17.229 which has a circulator pump that
00:06:18.779 00:06:18.789 constantly flow circulates water
00:06:20.729 00:06:20.739 throughout the building because you got
00:06:23.219 00:06:23.229 such a big building you can't just use
00:06:25.079 00:06:25.089 water pressure moment to keep the water
00:06:27.359 00:06:27.369 hot because it take very long to get the
00:06:29.009 00:06:29.019 word Hindu it should be unfortunately we
00:06:31.589 00:06:31.599 have these deep valves which are
00:06:32.999 00:06:33.009 terrible violet I recommend nobody use
00:06:34.979 00:06:34.989 them at all and unfortunately I do have
00:06:37.199 00:06:37.209 my own many different parts of the
00:06:38.790 00:06:38.800 boiler the valves that I do recommend
00:06:42.569 00:06:42.579 however are this valve here oil valves
00:06:45.809 00:06:45.819 which are actually excellent excellent
00:06:48.269 00:06:48.279 recommendation if you take a look at the
00:06:50.249 00:06:50.259 top of the boiler you'll see that
00:06:51.449 00:06:51.459 there's two components up there now
00:06:53.879 00:06:53.889 these are emergency pressure relief
00:06:55.679 00:06:55.689 valves these pressure relief valves will
00:06:58.109 00:06:58.119 work in the event of an emergency and in
00:07:03.389 00:07:03.399 the event of an emergency those pressure
00:07:05.309 00:07:05.319 release valve say that boiler doesn't
00:07:07.139 00:07:07.149 shut down from too much steam pressure
00:07:09.209 00:07:09.219 or water pressure that was pressure
00:07:10.679 00:07:10.689 relief valves will open up in this and
00:07:12.839 00:07:12.849 dispersed of the excess steam pressure
00:07:14.999 00:07:15.009 or water pressure and discharge it to a
00:07:18.269 00:07:18.279 safe location location obviously the
00:07:20.309 00:07:20.319 location would be on the opposite wall
00:07:22.139 00:07:22.149 since there's no one ever over there and
00:07:23.939 00:07:23.949 there's not enough space for anybody to
00:07:25.379 00:07:25.389 get there in the first place so that's
00:07:26.999 00:07:27.009 what's discharged now not one time I've
00:07:28.979 00:07:28.989 ever had that problem but I'm there
00:07:31.199 00:07:31.209 there for safety precautions now this
00:07:33.269 00:07:33.279 here what you're looking at is the smoke
00:07:35.999 00:07:36.009 man this is basically a light that
00:07:38.009 00:07:38.019 flashes through on the on the opposite
00:07:40.919 00:07:40.929 side with what you're looking at here is
00:07:42.389 00:07:42.399 a sensor that picks up on that light and
00:07:45.419 00:07:45.429 light that we're looking at
00:07:47.530 00:07:47.540 he's right over here now for whatever
00:07:50.590 00:07:50.600 reason if that light would go dim when
00:07:52.900 00:07:52.910 the boilers in operation
00:07:54.490 00:07:54.500 that are basically to tell the sensor
00:07:56.260 00:07:56.270 that the boiler is smoking and after a
00:07:58.660 00:07:58.670 minute or think about two minutes if not
00:08:00.520 00:08:00.530 mistaken to shut the entire boiler
00:08:02.350 00:08:02.360 operation off the next compartment is
00:08:04.570 00:08:04.580 you're looking at here is the damper
00:08:06.400 00:08:06.410 which basically is a efficiency setting
00:08:08.890 00:08:08.900 for the boiler and basically when the
00:08:11.650 00:08:11.660 burner is on this device here should
00:08:14.740 00:08:14.750 close but I think you got to be melted
00:08:16.270 00:08:16.280 because I think it kind of came out of
00:08:18.040 00:08:18.050 loo so got a little out of whack over
00:08:20.050 00:08:20.060 being banged up for so many years so
00:08:23.770 00:08:23.780 when the burner is on this thing will
00:08:26.020 00:08:26.030 close and when it's off it'll pretty
00:08:28.090 00:08:28.100 much open so the the chimney can pull
00:08:31.510 00:08:31.520 can pull the exhaust air from the room
00:08:34.000 00:08:34.010 rather than taking it out of the boiler
00:08:35.590 00:08:35.600 which would cause efficiency loss or
00:08:37.210 00:08:37.220 heat loss in your boiler this
00:08:38.920 00:08:38.930 compartment here is also a smoke bonnet
00:08:41.100 00:08:41.110 this is just another section of the
00:08:44.410 00:08:44.420 boiler where basically the smoke goes
00:08:47.560 00:08:47.570 through before its final pass right
00:08:49.780 00:08:49.790 before it leaves the boiler altogether
00:08:56.250 00:08:56.260 one other good device to have in a
00:08:58.770 00:08:58.780 building is this a platinum heat timer
00:09:03.490 00:09:03.500 this is a heat timer that is built
00:09:05.020 00:09:05.030 specifically for the preservation of oil
00:09:09.100 00:09:09.110 so you don't burn up as much oil as you
00:09:10.930 00:09:10.940 should or that it would if you were just
00:09:12.670 00:09:12.680 running the boiler relentlessly now if
00:09:14.530 00:09:14.540 you take a close look at this this thing
00:09:15.760 00:09:15.770 is actually calling for heat right now
00:09:17.440 00:09:17.450 I'm going to set it back up on a bit
00:09:19.660 00:09:19.670 Billy ascends up steam in just a little
00:09:21.640 00:09:21.650 while but before I do that I still want
00:09:23.530 00:09:23.540 to get more descriptions on this boiler
00:09:33.009 00:09:33.019 okay I'm probably gonna have to do a
00:09:36.740 00:09:36.750 parts of this video but what you
00:09:39.920 00:09:39.930 basically have is a steam heating system
00:09:41.990 00:09:42.000 with a one pipe steam heating system and
00:09:43.790 00:09:43.800 I'm going to show you a description of
00:09:45.290 00:09:45.300 these gadgets - all these devices that
00:09:47.360 00:09:47.370 are on top of the boiler now I can take
00:09:49.130 00:09:49.140 a look at these devices a lot of people
00:09:51.470 00:09:51.480 are under the impression that a boil of
00:09:53.300 00:09:53.310 this size this would have to be none
00:09:55.310 00:09:55.320 other than a high-pressure steam boiler
00:09:56.810 00:09:56.820 which is completely incorrect because
00:09:58.910 00:09:58.920 anytime you're dealing with the boiler
00:10:00.290 00:10:00.300 boilers never operated high-pressure
00:10:02.720 00:10:02.730 steam unless you're dealing with a power
00:10:04.790 00:10:04.800 plant or even if the boilers are
00:10:07.069 00:10:07.079 high-pressure steam they do not send up
00:10:09.680 00:10:09.690 steam into the building at high pressure
00:10:11.269 00:10:11.279 and since this boiler is located in this
00:10:13.670 00:10:13.680 very same building that in this heating
00:10:15.199 00:10:15.209 is no it is never going to be high
00:10:17.329 00:10:17.339 pressure the maximum amount appeared of
00:10:19.340 00:10:19.350 pounds per square inch that I run is at
00:10:21.790 00:10:21.800 five pounds of pressure now you can see
00:10:24.530 00:10:24.540 the pressure gauge right here okay
00:10:28.329 00:10:28.339 usually on average I'll burn only two
00:10:30.889 00:10:30.899 and a half to three pounds of steam
00:10:32.180 00:10:32.190 pressure to get it to get it up to six
00:10:33.980 00:10:33.990 stories little heat to building up just
00:10:35.630 00:10:35.640 fine now that right there is the
00:10:38.300 00:10:38.310 pressure gauge what you have over here
00:10:39.980 00:10:39.990 are pressure trolls
00:10:41.360 00:10:41.370 okay these are four different pressure
00:10:43.490 00:10:43.500 trolls one of them has been discontinued
00:10:45.650 00:10:45.660 due to the new timer system that has
00:10:47.300 00:10:47.310 been put into the building or been
00:10:48.949 00:10:48.959 installed into the building and if I'm
00:10:52.730 00:10:52.740 not mistaken let me top pointed out to
00:10:55.490 00:10:55.500 you right now okay
00:11:01.030 00:11:01.040 the one
00:11:03.320 00:11:03.330 the one of my father left over here this
00:11:05.660 00:11:05.670 is the manual pressure music this has a
00:11:08.240 00:11:08.250 little button on it I'm assuming on it
00:11:09.890 00:11:09.900 for you right now so you can take a look
00:11:11.270 00:11:11.280 this is pretty much the one that is shut
00:11:13.580 00:11:13.590 down the entire operation if you can get
00:11:16.610 00:11:16.620 a good look as a little button I might
00:11:18.080 00:11:18.090 have to take the lens off in a second
00:11:22.570 00:11:22.580 okay it should be a little better
00:11:24.670 00:11:24.680 alright okay right there now this is the
00:11:30.740 00:11:30.750 one that was shut down the boiler if it
00:11:33.650 00:11:33.660 reaches beyond steam pressure if none of
00:11:36.200 00:11:36.210 these other press it rolls shut the
00:11:37.610 00:11:37.620 boiler off it will pretty much shut the
00:11:39.920 00:11:39.930 boil down you have to pretty much go out
00:11:41.510 00:11:41.520 there manually and reset this device now
00:11:44.690 00:11:44.700 there's one other one over here and this
00:11:47.420 00:11:47.430 works in conjunction with the burner
00:11:48.920 00:11:48.930 remember how I said I mainly operated
00:11:51.710 00:11:51.720 about three pounds of steam pressure and
00:11:54.290 00:11:54.300 this is the modulating motor this
00:11:56.570 00:11:56.580 basically works in conjunction with this
00:11:58.370 00:11:58.380 burner down here that you'll see and
00:12:00.040 00:12:00.050 basically when the burner brings the
00:12:02.630 00:12:02.640 boiler steam pressure toward about
00:12:04.040 00:12:04.050 two-and-a-half or three pounds of
00:12:05.720 00:12:05.730 pressure the burner instead of its
00:12:07.730 00:12:07.740 shutting off instead of it shutting off
00:12:10.580 00:12:10.590 order to basically do is it'll just
00:12:12.200 00:12:12.210 modulate and keep the boiler steam at
00:12:15.230 00:12:15.240 two or three to two and a half to three
00:12:18.680 00:12:18.690 pounds of steam pressure and it is just
00:12:20.480 00:12:20.490 basically decrease the flame see we
00:12:22.430 00:12:22.440 basically have on a burner this size is
00:12:24.800 00:12:24.810 a modulating motor there's a photocell
00:12:27.350 00:12:27.360 lens inside of the things that pick up
00:12:29.000 00:12:29.010 on the operation to make sure that a
00:12:31.220 00:12:31.230 smooth operation out for any reason if
00:12:32.960 00:12:32.970 one of these things fail to comply the
00:12:35.750 00:12:35.760 operation is shut down immediately it is
00:12:37.820 00:12:37.830 due to safety precautions and due to the
00:12:39.860 00:12:39.870 event of preventing explosions from
00:12:41.570 00:12:41.580 happening so basically with that one the
00:12:44.630 00:12:44.640 pressure show that you were looking at
00:12:45.860 00:12:45.870 that's demodulating let's hook up to the
00:12:47.420 00:12:47.430 modulating motor which basically will
00:12:49.070 00:12:49.080 work in conjunction with that modulating
00:12:50.960 00:12:50.970 motor the next one here this was for the
00:12:53.990 00:12:54.000 last time that we had was basically with
00:12:57.380 00:12:57.390 a heat circulation establishment point
00:12:59.540 00:12:59.550 or a set point for the boiler which
00:13:03.800 00:13:03.810 that's no longer in use so let's bring
00:13:07.370 00:13:07.380 you to the next one over here and this
00:13:09.080 00:13:09.090 one is basically this will pretty much
00:13:11.030 00:13:11.040 stop the boiler operation at five pounds
00:13:13.280 00:13:13.290 of steam pressure this pretty much is
00:13:15.110 00:13:15.120 the the next one in line
00:13:16.920 00:13:16.930 so once the boiler reaches five pounds
00:13:18.930 00:13:18.940 of steam pressure hit a shuttle of
00:13:20.009 00:13:20.019 another to kick it back on at about four
00:13:23.340 00:13:23.350 pounds or three and a half PSI and then
00:13:25.769 00:13:25.779 basically just keep on letting the steam
00:13:27.480 00:13:27.490 go up and down until the heat cycle is
00:13:29.490 00:13:29.500 shut down and the last one that you see
00:13:31.559 00:13:31.569 over there is pretty much the manual
00:13:34.470 00:13:34.480 pressure reset which will shut the
00:13:36.119 00:13:36.129 boiler down completely altogether new
00:13:38.040 00:13:38.050 only way you'll be able to get it fired
00:13:39.360 00:13:39.370 back up is if you go up there and if you
00:13:41.249 00:13:41.259 click the button and get it to reset
00:13:43.110 00:13:43.120 this videos getting kind of old someone
00:13:44.999 00:13:45.009 have to do another one so stay tuned
