Plumbing / Wood Stove Instrumentation
« on: February 18, 2014, 04:29:40 PM »
Our house has a GH 2000 Stainless boiler that is 8 years old, I've only been here for the last two years though. Since then I've installed a flow meter in the system next to the furnace in the house. This spring I will be opening up the system to reverse the pump which someone installed backwards, the house is on suction instead of pressure. When it's open I will install tees on each side of the Hx for temperature gages to monitor temps before and after the Hxer. Other than flow and temperature is there any other sensors that might be nice to have on the system? Thanks.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / GH Blower replacement.
« on: February 14, 2014, 07:04:45 AM »
FedEx is bringing in two new blowers for me today to replace one that is bound up and one that is ready to fall apart, that's todays job. The weather is going to be in the 20's so it won't be to bad. Hopefully the boiler won't coke up like it has been.

One of the two blower motors went bad on my boiler the other day. Does anyone have a good parts source for parts on this boiler? Thanks for any information.

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / New to the forum with a few questions
« on: February 09, 2014, 03:07:35 PM »
Hello everyone,
When I married and moved into my wife's country residence two years ago the GH-2000 owb was already here. Since that time I've become very familiar with it and I have a few basic but big questions regarding the boiler.
1. Should the circulating pump suction side be hooked up to the boiler water jacket reservoirs so the system in the house in pressurized? It looks like the pump in my unit has been replaced and the suction side is on the house side and pressure side feeds into the main reservoirs of the boiler. So currently everything in the house is in vacuum or suction.
2. Can you clean the heat exchanger in the furnace? If so how does everyone go about this? Do you power flush it or take it out and chemically clean it?
3. I've had a flow meter installed in the plumbing but what other gages and sensors does everyone usually install? Temperature, pressure??
4. After this heating season is over I will be making any plumbing changes and adding anything the system needs.
Thanks for any information and I'm looking forward to reading and contributing to the forum.
