How to do Boiler Pilot Burner Maintenance

The pilot burner on an auxiliary boiler is a small flame that is continuously burning to ignite the main burner when needed. It is an important component of the boiler system as it ensures that the main burner can be easily and quickly ignited when heat is required. The pilot burner is typically fueled by natural gas,DIesel or propane and is designed to provide a steady and reliable flame. Regular maintenance and inspection of the pilot burner are necessary to ensure safe and efficient operation of the boiler.
