Protection Considerations for Wood Gasification Boilers John Siegenthaler Enroll in this free, 58-minute lecture and learn about the protection of wood gasification boilers. Enroll today and learn more about the protection of boilers against low entering water temperature and against overheating during power failures. I will discuss the dewpoint of exhaust products, how to protect wood-fired boilers against low water temperatures through thermostatic bypass valves, loading units, variable speed shuttle pumps, and on/off toggled circulators. I also cover the use of circulators, heat dumps, barometric dampers and breach draft in the event of overheating, and much more!
