What is a Low Pressure Boiler?
Low-pressure boilers operate at a lower pressure and reach lower temperatures than high-pressure steam boilers. Low pressure steam boilers are often used in buildings and designed to supply heat to individual rooms through terminal units.
Benefits of a
Low-pressure Boiler.
Low-pressure steam can be more economical to produce than high-pressure steam, as it requires less energy to create and does not lead to as much wear and tear on components.
Low-pressure steam boilers heat and provide hot water to hospitals, university campuses, office buildings, and multi-family dwellings. Low-pressure boilers can also provide steam used directly in a limited number of small-scale industrial processes.

Low Pressure Boiler Safety
If your boiler pressure gauge is showing that your boiler pressure is below the 1 bar mark when running hot water or turning on central heating, it means it’s too low and that it needs to be increased to between 1 and 2. There are many ways your boiler pressure can decrease, but there’s only one tried and tested way to increase it to a normal rate - Call Iconic Air today to help increase the pressure of your boiler today- we’ll get it sorted in no time!
