Re: Oil fired boiler explosion
The whole point of the fan starting well before ignition and oil feed is to blow out any combustible gasses to prevent such an explosion. Should the burner fail, a good control system will keep the fan running and attempt ignition again only after 10 seconds or so, to allow all the unburnt fuel vapo...

Re: building a steam condenser
Running with a condenser but without an air pump to create vacuum is not common in the UK, but it does add a fair bit more complexity. Another thing to think about is a hot-hotwell. If your hotwell is pretty hot, the vacuum generated by the feed pump by the inertia of the water and any pressure drop...
