My First Post.
I have spent 6 weeks researching all the new central heating systems including UFH, the components currently in use and Building regulations Part L and Part P (electrical).
The property is semi-detached, Gnd floor -large hallway, large kitchen-diner, huge extended lounge. 1st floor -3 Dbl Beds/Bathroom.
Room sizes, fabric heat loss, air changes etc have all been calculated. I intend to use a Gas Safe engineer for installation. Due to several other constraints, I’m leaning toward a system configured as follows.
Condensing system boiler located in loft.
CW tank - 227Ltr.
Fast re-heat HW Cylinder - 120Ltr
Plastic barrier pipe 15mm (External Diameter).
Two manifolds kits -Ground/First Flr.
Radiators on each floor directly linked to its corresponding flow/return manifold.
Have any of you installers DESIGNED and/or installed a similar configured system?
If you have, did you experience any problems with flow speed, heat delivery to the rads, temperature drop on the return circuit or any other problems?
I’m aware of the push-fit, vermin, o-ring, pipe sagging issues and opinions both for and against plastic pipe in CH systems.
