As some of you guys and gals have seen I work with some big water tube boilers that make high temp hot water (at 370 degrees) one of the boilers from time to time leak on the out side front of the boiler under the fresh air box. I have suggested along with a few others that there may be a leaking tube in side of the boiler. But one of the guys insist that if a tube was leaking inside the box there would be some Condensate on the sight glass of the boiler. With my inexperienced I was wondering on how true that is? I mean that box gets hot!! Wouldnt the condensation evaporate really quickly inside that box? Well before there was enough to create the condensation? Has anyone any insight to that theory?
