I have a sealed ch system that is losing pressure over time and hav
searched throught he foroum for similar problems and have one or tw question that I hope somebody out there can help me with.
I set the cold pressure to 1.1 bar and it fell to 0.5 over a two mont time frame. I noticed that the towel rail in the bathroom was no heating the top bars (this is the highest point in the system). I blee the rad and the coil in the HW cylinder which is at about the sam height and it also had a lot of air in it. There is inhibitor in th system but I plan to add some more.
- How good is the Fernox central heating sealer?
- Where should the automatic vent be (mine is on the bottom floor of two storey house)?
If pumping away from the expansion tank, the pressure at the pum inlet will be SP, pressure at pump outlet will be SP+PD.
If pumping towards the expansion tank pressure at pump outlet will be SP. Pressure at pump inlet will be SP-PD. NB this could be negative at the pump inlet and for some way upstream, especially at high level Air will leak into the system.
- Can sombody explain to me how the system can get air into it if th pump is pumping towards the expansion vessel ?
- How does one thest if the gas in the system is hydrogen?
- Is there such a thing as a totally sealed system that will hol pressure for a sustained period, say 1 year
