limit

In mathematics, the limit inferior and limit superior of a sequence can be thought of as limiting (that is, eventual and extreme) bounds on the sequence. They can be thought of in a similar fashion for a function (see limit of a function). For a set, they are the infimum and supremum of the set's limit points, respectively. In general, when there are multiple objects around which a sequence, function, or set accumulates, the inferior and superior limits extract the smallest and largest of them; the type of object and the measure of size is context-dependent, but the notion of extreme limits is invariant.
Limit inferior is also called infimum limit, limit infimum, liminf, inferior limit, lower limit, or inner limit; limit superior is also known as supremum limit, limit supremum, limsup, superior limit, upper limit, or outer limit.

    Low system pressure causing overheat?

    I went to a boiler the other day where the limit stat had tripped (Grant Combi 21). Found the system pressure was at about 0.5 Bar, and very little air in the vessel, so re-pressurized that, and topped up system pressure, all ok. Now my question is, is the low pressure the cause of the limit...

    Hi all, just wondering if being gas safe for domestic, are you allow to touch boiler in shops with pipe size under 35mm(?). I am thinking more of small salons, small shops and offices etc which use small boilers like we have at home. Many thanks in advance.
