cold
Cold is the presence of low temperature, especially in the atmosphere. In common usage, cold is often a subjective perception. A lower bound to temperature is absolute zero, defined as 0.00 K on the Kelvin scale, an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. This corresponds to −273.15 °C on the Celsius scale, −459.67 °F on the Fahrenheit scale, and 0.00 °R on the Rankine scale.
Since temperature relates to the thermal energy held by an object or a sample of matter, which is the kinetic energy of the random motion of the particle constituents of matter, an object will have less thermal energy when it is colder and more when it is hotter. If it were possible to cool a system to absolute zero, all motion of the particles in a sample of matter would cease and they would be at complete rest in this classical sense. The object would be described as having zero thermal energy. Microscopically in the description of quantum mechanics, however, matter still has zero-point energy even at absolute zero, because of the uncertainty principle.
Hi guys
Is it normal for the cold feed pipe from the f&e tank to be combined with the open vent?
The cold feed connects to a 22mm tee one end is the vent the other cold feed to rads
I thought the vent connects to ch flow and the feed to ch return?
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone here can help. The radiators in my living room aren't heating as well as the radiator in bedroom, hall and bathroom in my flat.
I've checked and both seem to be free from trapped air (tried to bleed and water came straight out). Now one radiator gets a lot warmer...
Moved in to bungalow recently and 1 radiator is cold. All the others get really hot when turned on. Gas system boiler, header tank in loft.
I tried balancing, turning off other radiators, increasing pump speed, but best I could get at high pump speed is a tiny bit of heat in radiator, barely...
Hi all,
I was just wondering when running hot and cold copper pipes side by side is there a minimum distance they should be apart according to regulations?
Thanks

Hi
I turned my heating on few days ago for the first time this winter and bleed the radiators and it all worked fine.
Turned it on again tonight and the boiler fires up but all the radiators are stone cold!
Any advice on what it could be?
The pump in the airing cupboard is pumping
Our upstairs radiators were getting much hotter much quicker than down stairs. To try and balance I altered some of the lock values on the upstairs rads (not fully closed though) this seemed to work and the downstairs rads were much hotter however one of the upstairs rads was now totally cold...
I've a pressurised CH system with a combination vented cylinder.
I live in a two story house with 4 radiators upstairs and 4 downstairs. I recently had the CH pressurised and the cylinder also was replaced.
The problems is that the radiators upstairs are getting nice hot but the ones downstairs...
Hi,
We had all the rads replaced in the spring. They had this issue from day one but, tbh, I thought once they start getting used in the winter, things might sort themselves out. That hasn't happened.
It's a weird situation where some rads heat up only at the top, and some only at the...
The hole in the slab for cold water shower tap inlet is 1200mm away from where it needs to be. Is this a problem?
The bathroom is on the second storey (concrete slab) and it looks like the builders may have put the plumbing for the shower inlet about 1200mm away from where it needs to be. Is...
Divy here thought his cold water feed was 15mm.. so bought a 15mm - 1/4" reducing tee to plumb a fridge.
It's 10mm!! I've already cut it so stuck a stop end on.
What options do I have as I can't find a 10mm - 1/4" reducing tee...
Do I get some 15mm pipe and use 15mm - 10mm reducers ?
Hi,
We currently have 3 old radiators in our living room, the room feels cold in winter and radiators take ages to get warm, system has been power flushed and new pump fitted, so want to replace the radiators. The room is 5.7 x 4.9m x 2.5m but heat vents upstairs to a landing with no radiator...
Had a new bathroom fitter, and the sink has these taps on Ideal Standard Tesi 1 lever Chrome effect Deck Mono Mixer Tap. The hot and cold water flow is reduced. But when the fitter took the taps off the water flow was increased, Could there be a problem with the new taps or is this because they...
