    Expansion Vessel Upside Down?

    Could you have a leak somewhere ? If the system is pulling in water you will keep getting air. I'd also check pump connections which can also pull in air on each start up.

    Boiler size estimate

    Many years ago I did something similar moving the Boiler out to a detached garage to gain kitchen space. The distance was about 40 Ft and buried about 2- 2.5 Ft. I insulated it well but the heat loss was massive. The Boiler nearly ran continuously in Deep winter. Ended up replacing the Boiler...

    Hot Water Cyl control

    Correct. Gravity is the creation of a thermal loop simply by heating the water causing it to rise all the way to the Cyl. With an expansion pipe providing the expansion in the system. A sealed system will usually have an expansion tank to provide for safety in the sealed system.

    Hot Water Cyl control

    There's no issue with safety as there's a 1 inch expansion pipe taken of the boiler flow within 12 inches of the Back Boiler, and a safety valve. As well as a 3/4 expansion off the top of the Cyl also. There's a rising 1 inch flow and a 1 inch return from the Boiler to the cylinder. The flow is...

    Hot Water Cyl control

    Hi Guys, I'm looking to install a control valve on my solid fuel heating at the cyl. I want to redirect the heating when the Cyl reaches 65 degrees to the Radiators. I'm wondering which is best to use a Motorized valve or a Guardian smartzone Valve. What's the best brand of MV to use as I don't...
