In a large multi-family building, Boiler feed water sensors detected unusually highwater flow, triggering the alert set by the customer. After investigation, it was found that an electrical conduit, running just above the condensate return, had burned, melting the condensate line immediately below, creating a leak. This lost condensate created a need for the boiler to call for more water – an unusually high amount detected by our monitoring.
Solution: Monitor and alarm boiler feed water to detect unusually high-water flow.
