[Stoves] Green Steam Engine

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

It is often the case that a steam boiler is allowed to operate if the
pressure does not rise above 4 bars.

Dear Bryce

 

Certainly a "Closed Loop" or "condensing system" is more efficient than an
non-condensing system. 

 

While the steam engine may not require Certification, boilers do, depending
on the rules in a given Jurisdiction. While it is certainly possible to
operate a steam boiler "in a back woods location that the Boiler Inspector
doesn't know about", The Boiler Inspector will find out if there is an
accident where someone is seriously injured or killed. 

 

Steam can kill.

 

If anyone is considering a "Steam Application" they should check with their
Boiler Inspector, to confirm that he would be able to approve the Proposed
Project.

 

Best wishes,

 

Kevin
