We do have vents and vacuum breakers installed, and we also have pressure gauges at the jacket inlets. We are holding about 12.5 to 13 psi at the jacket inlet. Anything much over that and I hit the electronic cutoff from the boiler due to about 1-2 psi variation from the boiler.
Now, I am assuming that the vacuum breakers/vents are hooked up correctly but I am very suspicious because we can't get the air vents to release any pressure. The vent is hooked into one of the inlet sides of the steam traps.
Essentially, the jacket outlet hooks into the left side trap inlet, the vent is hooked into right inlet side of the steam trap and the condensate return out of the lower outlet side of the trap.
