15 Tips to Peak Performance in Steam Heating Systems
The burner short cycling on and off from the low water cut-off is like city mileage in a car. If water is dripping down from the top of the gauge glass, the boiler is producing wet steam. Wet steam does not heat as well as dry steam, so the burner runs longer to satisfy the call for heat.

Is your boiler short cycling? - Slantfin
Oct 10, 2018· Short cycling results in the heating load being a lot smaller than the boilers heat output. An example would be the burner turning off for 4 minutes and turning back on in 4 minutes in repeating cycles.
