BOILING POINT

Hi Guys,

I ran into a fellow who I had worked with 40years back doing building maintenance.

While having coffee and catching up on who is now dead, who screwed up big, who got fired and what we were doing now that we were retired persons. He had a tablet with him and showed me a U tube channel that serviced full size boilers, we watched a couple of videos and had a laugh over remembering doing some of the stuff and what they had left out.

the Channel is called the Boiling Point and is done by wareboilers, you should be able to find it with that.

Regards,

Gerald.

    Displacement lubricator

    Question 
    I'm building my first boiler for my first project, a Stuart 10V. I have built a displacement lubricator for it and i'm wondering if this will be effective if I "superheat" the steam? Thinking dryer steam will displace less oil from the lubricator? Rudy

    Steam Enthusiasts- Can Anyone Help Me to Identify This Antique Boiler?

    Discussion 
    My partner passed away recently; he was a hoarder and collector of curio, and I've inherited an enormous amount of stuff. Much as it pains me I simply have to sell some of it as I am soon to be evicted and there is far more than I can possibly keep. One item of particular interest is this very old and unusual boiler. It has some very archaic features, for example it has sliding cast iron balls which can be moved to control one of the valves. I have no knowledge in this area and I've scoured the internet to no avail. There is no maker's plate, no information on it at all. Can anybody tell me anything about it? I thought it was from a steam engine, is that correct? How old is it? Who made it? What was it for? What I might reasonably expect to sell it for? Any and all information would be most gratefully received. Many thanks in advance. Hattie

    Hello, repairing my sons small engine/boiler that was leaking around the sight glass. What type of seal/sealant should be used? I'm a gas engine and tractor guy, no steam experience. Thanks, Tom
