Condensing Boiler Efficiency

Are you getting what you paid for when you buy a condensing boiler?  Existing boiler testing standards do not effectively replicate “real world” conditions.  Generally stated boiler efficiencies are unachievable in the field.  This presentation will review current testing standards as well as the development of a better test standard (ASHRAE SP155).  We will also address system design/operation and equipment variables that significantly impact boiler efficiency.  Mr. Totten will discuss the best way to compare condensing boilers based on the information manufacturers provide
