Hello
I've got a central heating system like this one
formatting link
only slight difference is that the cold feed and expansion pipes were combined into a single pipe about 10 years ago due to a blockage in the cold feed. This was done by a BG man. The boiler is about 27 years old. Both hot water and central heating work fine.
The issue is, that on start-up (twice a day; morning and afternoon), the water is heated in the boiler and gurgles (loudly) into the expansion tank. After this initial burst of activity, it operates normally.
Question is, why?
The thermostat on the tank seems to work ok. The pump seems ok. And as both hot water and central heating work, I guess the 3-port valve is ok too.
Thanks for any comments.
