I have a Glowworm Ultimate 35C boiler. It shuts off at its max temp of 60C when heating radiators and the pump carries on running pumping heat round system but it seems to let temperature drop at least 30 degrees before burner comes back in by which time radiator temperature has dropped...
Hi All
New here and have a bit of a weird one for you!
Installed a concealed shower valve on a job with a rainfall shower head, and a handheld as well.
The customer specifically wanted to be able to have both the rainfall and handheld on at the same time, and the supplier i was using only...
I have a need for for a thermostat for a copper cylinder connected to solar power so I'm looking for an accurate thermostat which will allow me to store water at up to 90c ?
I have tried a bog standard Honeywell and a couple of cheaper stats but none of them even work up to the advertised 80c...
Greetings!
Having just rebuilt a Rayburn 460k with (ecoflam burners) due to the dreaded warped oven protection plate, I am trying to work out if the test point temperature readings for the Rayburn are, ‘what you’d expect’
Flue ways on cooker side & boiler side, including boiler baffles all now...
We had a wet UFH system installed a couple of years ago. Two weeks ago we had vinyl tiles laid. The instruction from the flooring guy is to start the UFH at 5 degrees and increase by 5 degrees per day until we reach a comfortable temperature. Also, instructions from the flooring company read...
So I have just added an underfloor zone to a house extension. Boiler is Worcester Greenstar 30Cdi. has a Comfort II RF stat fitted that controls the radiator zone. I have added a zone valve to my new zone and used the 230V side of the control board to fire the boiler. the boiler fires fine but...
Can you get your room temperatures right (19° for a bedroom, 21° for a living room etc) right without room stats.
Is the desired temperature taken into account when sizing radiators?
Hello
I recently had a new cylinder install. The temperature at the basin sinks is between 56-58C and is far too hot to use.
Is there a legal maximum that is applicable for domestic properties? What should the temperature be for basin sinks? Thanks.
150 litre cylinder, top 100 litres are heated by a coil (average temp 70C), the bottom 50 litres (or the whole 150 litres in summer) are heated by a solar coil. There are PT1000 probes fitted in numerous places and the HW zone valve is controlled very accurately by a spare output from the solar...
Evening all. Enthusiastic have a go guy here! I did get into the whole calculation of heat capacity of flow and calculated resistance after we had a few terrifying quotes when I bought the house - Quite a large 3 floor 7 bed Edwardian house. I fitted a 300 litre unvented cylinder and...
My shower used to deliver water at an ideal temperature to both the main shower head and the the smaller head on a flexible hose. Suddenly the temperatures are erratic,either boiling hot or freezing cold. What do I need?
Hi all,
I was having issues with my shower temperatures being stuck too hot - it wouldn't ever get cold.
It's fed from a combi boiler and has a hand shower head as well as a fixed head on the tiles.
I managed to educate myself on how to configure the temperature and found my happy medium...
Hi newbie here,
I have a vaillant ecotec pro 24 boiler, the heating side is fine, but im struggling with variation in temperature on the dhw side. Ive cleaned and now changed the p.hex and changed the ntc sensor myself. Im still having probs and want some info on locating and cleaning the canoe...
Hi
I have a wet based underfloor heating system and I've noticed that the stone floor in our kitchen isn't warming up evenly. There is one patch that is much warmer than other areas. I have noticed that when I look at the manifold the supply temperature is running at around 50 to 55 degs but...
Hi all,
I'm a Gas Engineer, and new to fault diagnosis/repairs. I've measured the temperature on the flow/return pipes across my combi's secondary heat exchanger, with the hot bath tap on full. I have a Vaillant Ecomax 24 (year 2003). The flow was 70c, the return was 43.8c. I'd be interested...
Hi guys, any advice for my situation
Ov thermal store with ufch tappings but ufch manifold v close to store,
Problem is store temp at 72/73'c
Manifold has phial type trv and is shutting down v quickly due to flow temperatures
Clearly don't want 72 going through ufch (45ish ideally)...

Have a thermostat (BPS242RF) and the receiver box on the wall (BR1 Boss Therm). Setting the thermostat as per the manual, but the auto setting seems to have a mind of its own and keeps turning the heating on when not required. For example. The thermostat clock is set to a 24hour clock. The...

Hi all ,
I'm working on boiler ramp up timings.. I was just curious that what are the things that can happen if we suddenly introduce 80C water in home radiators.
I mean is it dangerous for radiators, do radiator manufacturers warn about it :93:
what about its noise levels or expansion of...

Hi all, does anyone know what the most economic temperature to run a well controlled heating system at using a condensing boiler with standard panel radiators. I had heard 70 degrees celsius was best with at most 50C return to get the latent heat from the flue gasses. Or can I run at 80C for a...

Hi allGot a custard who thinks that there's something wrong with a few rads cause there not hot enough, I mean they put there hand on and it doesn't take the skin off so they think it's not hot enough, even though there not cold!
So what is the temp of a rad supposed to be when boiler on full...
