boilers
A boiler is a closed vessel in which fluid (generally water) is heated. The fluid does not necessarily boil. The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, including water heating, central heating, boiler-based power generation, cooking, and sanitation.
The UK Government has today been told to do better when it comes to Heat Pumps and Hydrogen Boilers.
A watchdog for spending has said that the Government in the UK needs to do more to make green energy heat pumps and other green central heating options more affordable for the UK customers...
Dear colleagues ,
My name is Roohollah and an overseas Heating tech. I have recently collected some data on oldest cast iron boiler from UK which is called Robin hood boiler . Thus, I would like to request for any data or pics of those products if you ran into them before. Thanks a bunch for...
Hi all - my prospective house I am buyig has been split effectively into two parts with Boiler 1 provided Heat/Water to the first few floors and Boiler 2 providing Heat/Water to the top floors. So two separate Primary and Secondary Circuits.
Is there a Smart system that would enable unified...
Do gas fired storage combi boilers store the water at high temperatures like say 75C? and if so do they have a internal TMV?. when the storage runs out presume they then just carry on like any combi boiler?. Do they allways store DHW and not primary water?. Oil fired combis probably are all...
Hi all,
So I re done my house 2/3 years ago and had all my radiators taken out on the lower floor, changed to wet underfloor instead. 2 zones. 2 manifolds. As I was doing quite a bit, I’d decided to exchange the two 15 year old boilers with a pair of new ones. Vitodens 100w 35kw open vent...
Recently had boiler issues heat exchanger was replaced but water would still go Cold Randomly especially in the shower.
Engineer says Combi boilers can only provide hot water if the turbine is spinning at max speed so you have to open the tap at 100% to get hot water. So he removed(broke) the...
Wanting to know people's opinion on these oil boilers? Particularly the heat exchanger as to reliability and build quality.
Some very poor reviews on Trustpilot and other sites. Are they worth avoiding at all costs?
Hi. I've just had my unvented hot water cylinder replaced. Works fine, apart from a slight trickle into the tundish when the boiler comes on after a period of inactivity for about 10 mins, which then slows to a drip and stops. He replaced the expansion vessel, all valves etc with new parts...
Current system Danesmoor utility installed in outbuilding. Flow/return connections on the boiler are each 1.5" BSP then straight into 32mm copper for a run underground of approx. 20m to the house. Main pump at boiler is UPS 25-55.
Proposal is to replace old boiler with Hounsfield Tuscan 26/30...
Hi all,
I'm just about to buy a new build house. The building company has changed their boiler set up from having a cylinder to a combi and I'm really worried it's a ciat things and I'm going to get a system that struggles more with the house size. I've attached drawings of the house which has 4...
Cop26 has now come to a close and Glasgow is getting back to normality. But just how easy is it going to be to phase out fossil fuel boilers and move to a more renewable energy source for our homes? We had a look at the various promises and pledges made by the Government and how easy these are...
Hi all, I was reading about these new microwave boilers that are due to come out from Heatwayv (A new way to transform how we heat our homes | Heat Wayv - https://www.heatwayv.com/), they seem to be a drop-in replacement for your old gas boiler, but with electrickery costing about 5 times as...
Hi all, hopefully you are good,
The system I am looking at has an oil boiler, a solid fuel boiler, triple coil cylinder, 2 space heating zones and a 'systemlink' ,
Would anyone out there know which controller / wiring centre is recommended for these system links?
Also, and more importantly...
Let me preface - I install and repair boilers and in my humble opinion Worcester Greenstar i aka Junior isn't a good boiler. I realise why they are very pupular - the Bosch name, the marketing (best friends with Which?), "trusted" by the big installers.
Installation - Probably the hardest...
We are currently looking to replace our 40 year old vented system to a system boiler. We have had a suggestion of getting a storage combi boiler instead of a vented boiler with cylinder. Space is not a problem. I am more than happy to replace both boiler and water cylinder. We have many options...
