If your pressure gauge is marked with a green zone and the needle has fallen below it, this is a sign that the gas boiler pressure is too low and action should be taken. If you have radiators that fail to heat up as they should, this may also be a sign that there is an issue with your boiler pressure and can be confirmed by checking the gauge.

suijitupian42.jpg" />The 248 PSI is the MAWP and will go to the nameplate and will be the base for calculation of test pressure for hydrostatic test pressure. As you can see, your maximum allowable working pressure always is greater than design pressure. In the worse case scenario that can be equal to design pressure but never will be less than that.
suijitupian83.jpg" />Steam boilers require a device which senses steam pressure and cycles the burner or other source of heat in order to maintain a consistent, predetermined operating pressure.

For all cold-mains-fed combi boilers, it is important to ensure (before/at the time of installation) that the water main is large enough to deliver adequate water to the boiler whilst other cold outlets are in use (eg flushing toilets, washing machine filling or cold taps being run).
suijitupian28.jpg" />Low Pressure Steam Boilers can take a variety of forms, firetube, watertube, cast iron sectional, firebox, etc, because the pressure vessels are not subjected to the extreme stresses that a high pressure boiler would see. "Low Pressure" generally refers to a boiler that is designed to have a maximum operating pressure below 15 psig.

suijitupian79.jpg" />Shell boilers are often operated with feedwater temperatures lower than 100°C. Consequently the boiler is required to supply enthalpy to bring the water up to boiling point. Most boilers operate at pressures higher than atmospheric, because steam at an elevated pressure carries more heat energy than does steam at 100°C.
