radiator
Radiators are heat exchangers used to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling and heating. The majority of radiators are constructed to function in cars, buildings, and electronics.A radiator is always a source of heat to its environment, although this may be for either the purpose of heating this environment, or for cooling the fluid or coolant supplied to it, as for automotive engine cooling and HVAC dry cooling towers. Despite the name, most radiators transfer the bulk of their heat via convection instead of thermal radiation.
Looking for a Heating Engineer in Westbury, Wiltshire (BA13) to change a Radiator valve in our kitchen. It was leaking, have tightened but it is not sitting correctly against the pipe.
Also to check as now getting lots of 'gas' in the system
Hi
I have an Evohome which maintains the set temperature and so when it powers the boiler most of the radiator valves are closed with one or two slightly open, basically just "topping up" rather than heating fully.
This means that the automatic bypass valve (ABV) has to open as well.
Now...
Hi, I’ve a problem with one radiator not working in the house, it’s not been working for a while. I’ve had cleaner in the system for 4 weeks, drained down and refilled and put in inhibitor, changed the rad, lockshield and TRV. ive got water flow on both the feed and return side on the rad. Just...
I've bought 4 new rads to replace existing ones. They are all singles and have inlet marked on lefthand side. The problem is that the existing pipework (microbore, plastered in-wall) has the inflow sometimes on the right and sometimes on the left. As the rads are singles I can't reverse them...
Hi all,
Recently moved into a house that appears to have some not-so-effective radiators (some are very hot so am confident no issue with the boiler).
The worst offender is an angled double radiator in a bay window (measures 450mm high and 240mm long). It barely gets hot despite the flow pipe...
Been wondering a while and finally curiosity has got the better of me. Was going to ring Pegler but they have all gone home. Have a few terrier valves to fit. On all of them the olive on the radiator tail is only
say 2, or 3 at the most, mm down the tail stem. Would it not be better if the stem...
Old radiator wouldn't get hot, so I replaced it with a new one and new valve's, And now it get quite warm at the back of it(double panel) but the front one is barely warm. I tried bleeding it, but no air comes out, tried balancing the radiators, but that does nothing, rest of the radiators are...
Hi, I'm looking to buy and install a couple new radiators for my property as they are very outdated and lack the heating power to warm up the rooms.
The problem I have is that they are so old that I can't find radiators that match their exact size.
First radiator is a single sided 600mm x...

Hi
Due to waiting a week for British Gas to come to repair a leak on the radiator - only for them to arrive and say they haven't got the part and so I will have to wait till Monday, I purchased a Status 7-Fin Oil Filled Radiator so I didn't freeze to death.
I plugged it in last night and it...
I am having an ASHP, radiators and pipework installed to replace storage heaters. How can I check whether the proposed pipework and pump can cope with the heat demand? The installer is proposing a single circuit with 14 radiators with a combined heat demand of around 8kW. I hear heat pumps...
Hi all, hoping there are answers out there to my small dilemma. A customer of mine wants 15mm radiator flow and return pipes chased into the block wall and pop out down the bottom. Problem is the joists are close to the wall so to start the chase in the block i will have to notch out the joist...
Hi people hope you are all well
I need some advice one of the radiators in my house makes a lot of noise when the heating is on. The noise is like water flowing. Any ideas what could be causing this and what I can do
Whilst investigating air in my hot water system / tapping noises from a radiator I noticed the return connection on the radiator isn’t fixed.Where the valve goes into the radiator just slides back and forth to the point I pulled it a bit far and water started coming out. Could this be the cause...
Although my CH radiators are hot to touch eventually, I have noticed that one in the downstairs sitting room and probably one of the last to get really hot, has a warm flow pipe and a very hot return pipe. The same applies to some of my other radiators but not all. Is this a balancing issue...
