condense

Condensation is the change of the state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase, and is the reverse of vaporization. The word most often refers to the water cycle. It can also be defined as the change in the state of water vapor to liquid water when in contact with a liquid or solid surface or cloud condensation nuclei within the atmosphere. When the transition happens from the gaseous phase into the solid phase directly, the change is called deposition.

    Condense Run

    Are there any issues running a condense into an external iron stack? The manual says it needs to be an internal stack, but I'm sure when I've assisted on boilers before we've put it into external stacks. Cheers

    Condense pipe for new boiler - routing advice

    Hi there, I'm getting quotes at the moment for a new boiler. Given the old one is 20+ years old, this means the fun of condense pipes. The boiler is currently located in an upstairs bedroom cupboard. Moving it to the downstairs kitchen would involve a non-trivial amount of work so I'm keen...

    Boiler condense pipe?

    Hi all. Is there a specific length of condense pipe you can't go above? Or as long as it's down hill is it ok? The reason for asking is the boiler has to go at the front of the house but the only drain is to the rear. Custard wants cheap, so pump is off the cards.

    Condense neutralisers.

    My only option for a condense pipe on this instal is to run outside. However I think the 2 soil pipes here are cast iron or asbestos. Was thinking of adding a neutraliser and trying to instal a soak away. What are people thoughts on these? It's a swap from an old non condensing combi.
