I have a Baxi Barcelona boiler on primary loop to a Thermal Store. In this configuration .. the store water contents are circulated around the boiler (rather than just a transfer coil)
Primary loop has a pump, flow control valve and expansion vessel, vessel charge is to 1 bar and static pressure on primary loop (via filling loop ) is also 1 bar. Had to change pressure vessel due to failure ...
Issue I have is that is I set static pressure to 1 bar cold ... then it hits 2.5 bar hot (too high) ... this would suggest that there is air in the system, expanding when hot. There is an AAV on top of store which is working and if I manually operate only water coming out .. (this was actually removed entirely during filling) There are air bleed screws on highest point of F & R pipes ... checked and only water comes out of both.
Phoned system manufacturer he concurs it is air in system ... he suggested releasing all static pressure, setting vessel to 2.5 bar and then running pump (boiler off) and then refill system to 1 bar static charge. Done that .... same result.
Anybody any tips for getting air out ? If you need a sketch due to my description being unclear ... :
