I have 2 boilers and a space heater in my wash both Lochinvar, everything LP:
RWL-260 Bay Heat Boiler. 270,000 btu input
RBL-360 Floor Heat Boiler. 360,000 btu input
+ 100,000 btu space heater for the equipment room . < also LP gas.
So about 730,000 btu for everything when they are all running.
3 bay carwash.
Spec’s for both boilers say it should be 10wc” minimum.
When the bay heat boiler is running by itself on the inlet side it is 10.67wc, when I turn the floor heat on it drops to 9.12wc, when the space heater is on it drops to 7.9wc. < all are on the inlet side of the gas valve on each.
Both boilers burn blue on the bottom with a larger orange flame on top, the space heater which is the longest run seems to burn normal with a blue flame.
I cleaned both boilers, cleaned the burner tubes everything is clean.
Everything is vented through the wall with tjernlund draft inducers.
There are 1.5” gas lines reduced to ¾” to each boiler, and a 1.5” to ¾’ to the space heater.
Turning the gas pressure down to 8.00 or turning it up to 15.00 makes no difference in the color of the flame, the flame just gets lower with less pressure.
