I've got a new gasifier and I've heard that you need to keep your return water at a certain temperature. Why is this critical? Does low return water temperatures cause premature boiler corrosion? Creosote buildup? Warping and cracking? I can see where low water temperatures causes creosote buildup in the lower tubes, but does it cause corrosion or warping?
What is the minimum safe return temperature? My owners manual doesn't say anything about maintaining a minimum return temperature (P&M Optimizer 250) but I have seen other manufacturers manuals stress that as a requirement.
What are your thoughts?
