The components of a gas-fired hot water boiler system, commonly used for residential and commercial heating. The burners heat water within the boiler, which is circulated through supply pipes to radiators or baseboards. The system includes a pressure-reducing valve to regulate incoming water pressure and a flow control valve to maintain proper water flow. An expansion tank accommodates changes in water volume due to heating, preventing pressure buildup. The pressure and temperature gauge monitors system conditions, while a pressure relief valve ensures safety by releasing excess pressure. The circulator pump drives water flow through the system, and an aquastat regulates water temperature. Venting is achieved through a chimney or vent pipe to expel combustion gases safely. This setup highlights the balance of efficiency, safety, and comfort in modern heating systems.
