Propane boiler flame skews
I have a Raypak propane modulating boiler that when at full fire, the
flame blows to one side of the burner. When this happens it is not exhausting up the flow, but rather off to the side, and out the side of the cabinet. At lower firing rates the flame is fine. Needless to say this isn't good. What might be causing this? Thanks. |

If the diffuser is corroded, bent, etc, it will not give the proper pattern. Time to have it serviced. |
