Answer / viraf b. karanjawala
the probable causes of boiler backfire are 1) outlet damper
partially/fully closed, 2) Improper tuning of the burner 3)
accumulation of combustible gases in pockets with in the
furnace 4) accumulation of unburnt fuel left in the furnace
5) purging time before and after burner shut off not enough
i.e. too short, 6) vol of the gases against vol provided by
the boiler manufacturer

Answer / jose thomas
1. Unburnt fuel leftover in the furnace during previous
operation.
2. Fuel leak to the furnace before ignition.
3. Presence of flue gases in furnace.
4. Pre-purge and post-purge timings are not enough.
5. Incorrect burner settings.
6. Improper ratio of fuel and air volume.
7. Burner malfunctioning /Controller malfunctioning.
8. Outlet damper less opened.

positive pressure in a furnace (or) boiler this can be
happend due to
high flow from FD
partial open in ID damper
low RPM of ID fan
punture of tubes
