bend fin boiler furnace (gas)
how do they work? Is there anywhere on net that shows diagram and explains what is what ? bought house with one lolOn the wholelooks old and have no clue......

A boiler and a furnace are separate. A boiler heats water - usually to boiling. The hot water/steam is then circulated to heat exchangers to obsolete the thermal energy to the point where it is required. Heating for hotel services, hot water, turbine drives, sterilization, and other uninspired requirements is accomplished. A furnace heats air directly without the use of water/steam. Hot air is then forced to the area requiring an expansion in thermal energy.

The item you have in your just-purchased home (congratulations) has a name-plate on it with the name of the company which manufactured the prime mover. Retrieve the model/serial number and call the manufacturer for a manual on the unit.

Your fuel supplier will be competent to give you some insight into the how and why of the operation of your unit. Call and have a service tech come to the house and have him show you how to work it.

Boiler hot water furnace, heat in my home?

I went to arise c eject on the furnace tonight cause it's cold as heck, within 5 minutes I heard what i thought was just the hot water coming down the pipes, was this Colossal noise from the boiler furnace it was rattling and smelled of burnt something, kinda like gas but not. I turn the power off to the id and it stopped. should I have done something before I turnd it on. it has not run since the end of may.....
I thought the pipes were bringing down the house

in the final analysis sounds normal to me. When first starting up its common to smell dust burning off of unit and the pipes making alot of creaking noises. If after a dwarf while all calms down then your okay! If not then I would not fool around with gas, call the service tech!!

How do I bleed the valve that is locate near my boiler furnace?

I had a actual problem with air in the hot water radiator and especially in the boiler. I have bled the radiators in the house but cannot seem to do the boiler. When I open the valve by the boiler nothing comes out. Isn't excessively supposed to come out? The boiler pipes making loud clanking noises. Should I leave that valve glaring until water comes out, or am I just letting more air into the system by doing this. My plumber also removed the cap from the valve to the overflow tank. Any lend a hand would be appreciated.

Inspect to be sure the water fill valve is working. You may not be getting water into the system.
