How do you prevent boiler explosion?
All boilers are made to a pressure specification and in most countries any pressure vessel over a certain size is required to be periodically inspected and pressure tested to ensure it is fit for purpose. In addition to being in sound condition, the boiler is also expected to have some form of pressure relief valve. This is of sufficient size to vent off excess pressure before it gets to an explosive situation. It is obviously important that the pressure of this device is set to a lower level than the ultimate pressure specification of the boiler. Even quite small boilers, like those in coffee makers need to be inspected. Some boilers are 'gas fired' such as home heating boilers. These have a device called a thermocouple that detects the flame and is linked to the gas valve. If the flame goes out, or the burner does not ignite when gas is released in the boiler, it will shut the gas off. Typically gas fired boilers have a number of devices that will shut off the gas in the event that something doesn't work. This means that if the gas supply pipe is in sound condition, the boiler itself cannot leak gas and cause an explosion.
Can you buy small cylinders of nitrogen for home brew?
Supplier: Look for suppliers that specialize in providing gases and equipment for home brewing or beverage dispensing. They should be able to guide you on the appropriate size and type of nitrogen cylinder for your needs. Cylinder Size: Typically, nitrogen cylinders for home use come in smaller sizes suitable for home brewers. The size you choose will depend on the volume of beverages you plan to dispense and how often you will use it. Safety and Handling: It's important to follow safety guidelines for handling compressed gases. Always store and handle the nitrogen cylinder in a well-ventilated area, away from heat or flames, and secure it in an upright position. Regulator and Dispensing Equipment: You'll also need a nitrogen regulator and appropriate dispensing equipment that connects to the nitrogen cylinder and allows you to control the pressure and flow of nitrogen into your beverages. Local Regulations and Laws: Be aware of any local regulations or requirements related to the purchase, storage, or usage of compressed gases like nitrogen.

What is a gas furnace heat exchanger?
The heat exchanger is the metal wall or tubing that is heated up when the burners are ignited. The inside of the heat exchanger allows the toxic flue gases produced from the burners to exhaust out through the furnace flue. The outside of the heat exchanger is where the cold air passes over, becomes warmed, and is blown throughout the ductwork of the home. The heat exchanger is the only wall separating the toxic flue gases from the supply air. If a crack develops in the heat exchanger, there is a potential for carbon monoxide gas to leak over to the supply side and be blown throughout your rooms. Carbon monoxide gas is odorless. The human senses will not detect its presence. Ron Ferrara- DHR Mechanical Services, Inc.
