systems

A system is a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole. A system, surrounded and influenced by its environment, is described by its boundaries, structure and purpose and expressed in its functioning. Systems are the subjects of study of systems theory and other systems sciences.

    Single pipe systems - can I reverse the flow

    I have a single pipe system retrofitted to a 1930's house. It is powered by a condensing gas boiler. As expected, the radiators get cooler the further they are from the boiler. It occurred to me that if I fitted a "crossover switch" between the punp and the radiators I could send the water...

    I'm about to get a backfed water system installed from a pipe in the utility room, as the mains pipe under my downstairs bathroom has collapsed and it's the easiest way to fix the leak. The plumber is confident this is a good idea, but I can't find any info about it online. What are the pros and...

    Clean heating systems advice

    Hello, I live in Sweden and find it interesting that it seems to be more common to clean heating systems with cleaners. Not many people in Sweden do that. I have never done and our system is about 50 years old. Everything now works after flushing the heat pump heat exchanger and installing the...

    Potential systems without a room stat

    I would love some phrases or sentences from an expert to describe central heating boiler configurations with just feedback from TRVs (no room stat in the design). If there are some configurations, manufacturers or combinations which work better for TRV-only it would be great to hear those...

    Hello everybody First post here. I'm planning a new plumbing system for my small house. I can find lots of general guidance, but what I was wondering about was the perhaps lesser known fancy or clever design elements and components. I guess, what would an experienced plumber's home system...

    As per the title. What do you think of using Speedfit in part of the cental heating system? In particular a 15mm x 300mm flexi pipe. Bent at 90 degrees. See link. Not sure what I am dealing with yet but I suspect a leaky Yorkshire elbow below the floorboards. Rather than remove it, clean it...

    How to reduce corrosion in vented heating systems

    Some vented heating systems seem to sludge up, and yet other remain remain remarkably clean after many years service. Why? Corrosion is caused by oxygen. Eliminating leaks and inhibitor helps, but the F&E tank is open to the air, so oxygen can freely get in there. Is it possible to design a...

    I recently power flushed with an acidic solution on a particularly dirty system. I drained and refilled and added the neutraliser crystals and test the ph.
