00:00:14.800 00:00:14.810 00:00:18.960 00:00:18.970 welcome to the boiling point I am with
00:00:21.160 00:00:21.170 Gerald Blaine and we'd like to talk a
00:00:22.660 00:00:22.670 little bit about some different types of
00:00:24.070 00:00:24.080 boilers now you have seen on some of our
00:00:26.830 00:00:26.840 episodes and boiling point on fire two
00:00:28.810 00:00:28.820 boilers on one or two boilers drilled
00:00:31.210 00:00:31.220 there's condensing boilers there's hot
00:00:33.100 00:00:33.110 water boilers there's all kinds of
00:00:34.750 00:00:34.760 things out there we'd like to talk about
00:00:36.970 00:00:36.980 this one this is a Parker and just maybe
00:00:38.950 00:00:38.960 just talk a little bit about what this
00:00:40.630 00:00:40.640 boiler is yeah this unit
00:00:42.729 00:00:42.739 it's a parker boiler they're out in
00:00:44.200 00:00:44.210 california we sell a fair amount of
00:00:48.040 00:00:48.050 these this is a has some unique
00:00:49.840 00:00:49.850 applications this is a smaller nine and
00:00:52.540 00:00:52.550 a half horsepower unit it's got a lot of
00:00:54.670 00:00:54.680 different training equipment on it but
00:00:56.200 00:00:56.210 one of the reasons and that we sell it
00:00:58.660 00:00:58.670 and one of the applications is in a lot
00:01:01.390 00:01:01.400 of tank heating and that type of a thing
00:01:03.100 00:01:03.110 but this is what you call an atmospheric
00:01:05.800 00:01:05.810 unit most of the types we deal in the
00:01:10.270 00:01:10.280 atmospheric are usually open down at the
00:01:12.190 00:01:12.200 bottom this is kind of a little more
00:01:14.110 00:01:14.120 advanced version of it that they want to
00:01:15.789 00:01:15.799 get out it's a little more efficient
00:01:17.260 00:01:17.270 than a typical atmospheric and it's a
00:01:19.300 00:01:19.310 fan assisted unit so instead of just
00:01:21.820 00:01:21.830 being openly exposed kind of like the
00:01:24.040 00:01:24.050 grill concept they actually pump the air
00:01:26.470 00:01:26.480 in same kind of a combustion type system
00:01:29.140 00:01:29.150 but being closed up it gets a little bit
00:01:32.020 00:01:32.030 more efficient so this is what we put in
00:01:34.960 00:01:34.970 the school to teach with and it serves
00:01:37.240 00:01:37.250 its case quite well it's a bulletproof
00:01:39.880 00:01:39.890 type of unit now this is a water tube or
00:01:43.990 00:01:44.000 a fire tube type application this is a
00:01:46.180 00:01:46.190 water tube it falls under the Flex style
00:01:49.120 00:01:49.130 category I've taken the rear door off so
00:01:52.300 00:01:52.310 we can walk around take a look at that
00:01:53.620 00:01:53.630 and I explain a little bit about how it
00:01:55.300 00:01:55.310 works okay okay well we've got the back
00:01:58.120 00:01:58.130 of the boiler open and so drill wants
00:02:00.460 00:02:00.470 you to take us through really how the
00:02:01.870 00:02:01.880 flame works here and how the boiler
00:02:04.000 00:02:04.010 actually works well what we have being
00:02:06.700 00:02:06.710 an atmospheric like I said the walls are
00:02:08.259 00:02:08.269 not open is a typical atmospheric so
00:02:10.869 00:02:10.879 we're pumping in the air we have clean
00:02:13.570 00:02:13.580 out ports here makes real easy for
00:02:15.220 00:02:15.230 servicing and then these unions here you
00:02:18.460 00:02:18.470 can pop those open and remove the bundle
00:02:20.710 00:02:20.720 completely in all of their designs this
00:02:23.830 00:02:23.840 design goes from nine and a half horse
00:02:25.449 00:02:25.459 up to about 150 horsepower all have
00:02:28.089 00:02:28.099 those same types of features and when I
00:02:30.309 00:02:30.319 said the Flex design the
00:02:31.730 00:02:31.740 they're bended tubes so you're not going
00:02:33.350 00:02:33.360 to shock a unit like this and then the
00:02:36.320 00:02:36.330 atmosphere kind of functions somewhat
00:02:38.120 00:02:38.130 like a grill will show it actually
00:02:40.940 00:02:40.950 firing for you and you can kind of see
00:02:42.440 00:02:42.450 how that functions but overall this is a
00:02:46.280 00:02:46.290 bulletproof unit we've seen these in the
00:02:47.960 00:02:47.970 field for 40 years mm-hmm so the actual
00:02:50.870 00:02:50.880 flame is down here like the grill right
00:02:54.530 00:02:54.540 and then it's all just heating heating
00:02:57.020 00:02:57.030 up and the tank right here the steam is
00:02:59.870 00:02:59.880 actually this is your steam drum drum in
00:03:01.970 00:03:01.980 there okay right so it's fully encased
00:03:04.510 00:03:04.520 steam coming out the nozzle just like
00:03:06.770 00:03:06.780 any type of water tube in it this is a
00:03:10.010 00:03:10.020 low pressure or high pressure we do
00:03:13.700 00:03:13.710 mostly high pressure they do low
00:03:15.620 00:03:15.630 pressure as well okay and they also make
00:03:17.600 00:03:17.610 a line of hot water boilers okay all
00:03:19.790 00:03:19.800 right good well there you have it you've
00:03:22.790 00:03:22.800 got different types of boilers out there
00:03:25.490 00:03:25.500 the again go out and look at our boiling
00:03:27.620 00:03:27.630 point you can see the fire tube and the
00:03:29.210 00:03:29.220 water tube boiling points that we've
00:03:31.280 00:03:31.290 done we will continue to talk a little
00:03:33.860 00:03:33.870 bit more about the different types of
00:03:35.180 00:03:35.190 boilers that we actually have here at
00:03:36.410 00:03:36.420 our boiler university lab and we'll see
00:03:38.540 00:03:38.550 you next time on the boiling point
00:03:40.720 00:03:40.730 appreciate drilled hanging out with us
00:03:42.620 00:03:42.630 today talk a little bit about that
00:03:44.180 00:03:44.190 Parker boiler now as you can see we are
00:03:47.330 00:03:47.340 getting more and more stuff into our lab
00:03:49.400 00:03:49.410 and we'd love to have you here to be
00:03:51.290 00:03:51.300 able to see all the different types of
00:03:52.550 00:03:52.560 boilers that we have but also all the
00:03:55.310 00:03:55.320 boilers that are out in the field you'll
00:03:56.780 00:03:56.790 learn about them here and the where
