I am wondering if I have a problem with my PB105?
Settings: OAT connected out side, Min 160°, Max 180°, Feed Rate 5, Outside Temp 16°F, T-stats set at 68°,
The boiler heats up until it reaches 180° and stays there with a varying flame and feed rate meaning the auger will run for different time periods.
The auger runs anywhere between the times listed below.
on 1 sec - off 12 sec
on 3 sec - off 12 sec
0n 5 sec - off 10 sec (It never stops)
I thought with the OAT connected out side. The PB105 boiler as it reaches the max temp of 165° based on a 15° out side temp would slow the feed rate to anticipate hitting the max temp. Then I thought it would basically coast and not feed anymore pellets until it gets close to the MIN setting.
With the boiler at 180°! If I turn the main switch off for a few seconds and back on the feeder stops feeding until it gets close to the low setting. When it reaches the max temp again it just keeps feeding at the time frames listed above. (It never stops on is own or allows the boiler water temp to drop)
Is there a problem with my boiler controls or am I wrong with how it is supposed to operate?
