We have two boilers with CF1400 Beckett burners.
Before doing the annual service call last week, we had some problems with one of the burner tripping everyday or so. When the service man came to clean the boilers, he found that there was a really bad combustion in the burners and the boilers. The electrodes and flat plate, on the nozzle line assembly, were dark black with crust on the flat plate. He cleaned the the nozzle asssembly and replaced the nozzle. Then, he checked all the setting and did some reajustment. With the combustion test we could seen that there was too much draft in the chimney.
Now we have problems with both the burners tripping everyday or so. Just want to have your input on what might be the problem. Any idea on what might be tripping the boilers? Could it be to much draft in the chimney?
As for for the bad combustion and excessive draft, this might be due to the changes that we made on the chimney over a year(June 2008) ago when we replaced an old water heater by two new ones. There was a draft control on the old water heater. The two new water heater each have their draft control at the exit of the heater. Other then the draft control on the water heater, there is no other draft control on the chimney. The two boilers and water heaters are on the same chimney. They connect to a main horizontal chimney which then connect to the vertical stack. The boilers are closer to the vertical stack while the water heaters are farther away.
Thanks for the input,
