What is my best option in trying to balance my One-Pipe Steam Radiator System?
Dec 03, 2008 by Scott | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Hello. I just bought a condo in the Boston area that was built in 1905. The system was supposedly balanced, but I can't quite get it to do what I want. I have a large radiator in each of the 3 bedrooms (7-8 fins) and a small one in the living room (4
Thermostatic valves work...sometimes. Yes, your valves on your pipes need to be fully opened or fully closed, no "throttling" or the steam/hot water will erode the valve seat and will leak over time. Swapping a radiator is not as difficult

What type of boiler do you recommend and how efficient are they?
At Churchfield we only recommend that our client’s install high efficiency condensing boilers. The vast majority of times this is achievable with minimal disturbance to occupants. Churchfield use A rated boilers with an efficiency of 91% for gas and 93% for oil. From 31st March 2008, all oil and gas fired boilers installed as replacements in existing dwellings must meet a minimum seasonal efficiency of 86%, where practicable. This requirement was introduced as part of the revision of the Building Regulations Part L “Conservation of Fuel and Energy” adopted in December 2007. Currently the only boilers achieving this performance level are condensing boilers.
The Home Energy Saving Scheme being run by SEI insists on the installation of condensing boilers with an efficiency of over 90%. The requirements for these boilers is met by the boilers used at Churchfield.
How does a condensing boiler work?
Condensing boilers are highly efficient. They use less fuel and have lower running costs than other boilers. Higher efficiency levels are made possible by extracting heat contained in the combustion gases, which would otherwise have been lost to the atmosphere. Both oil and gas contain hydrogen locked within their chemical structure. When oil or gas are burned, the hydrogen links with oxygen in the air to form H2O (water). This water (as vapour) can be seen from the exhausts of cars on cold days. The vapour (or steam) contains about 8% of the total fuel’s energy and capturing it makes energy efficiency sense. This is exactly what condensing boilers do. They “condense” the vapour and capture the energy contained there, making modern boilers so much more efficient.
