Hi all
Looking at a replacement central heating/HW boiler and reckon I will need something like W/Bosch 24Ri. This states a requirement of 2.67cu.m/hr of gas.
I have a 22mm gas pipe running right across the house to the location of the current boiler. Assessment of length and addition of effective length for bends etc gives
23m equivalent length of pipe. From R D Treloar, this looks to be right on the limit for 22mm dia pipe.Also we have a gas fire tapped off this main (approx 4 m from gas meter). This is an occasional use decorative affair claiming 6.5Kw gross heat input required.
Does anyone know enough to comment on the viability of this install? What would the effect be if the boiler were running and the fire turned on?
As we have concrete floors throughout and the boiler location is as far from the meter as geographically possible, what are the alternatives (please don't suggest moving)?
Also I note that previously it would have been likely that this main would serve: Valor Homeflame gas fire Landing gas heater Gas cooker CH boiler 50,000 Btu
Surely this lot would put as much if not more load on the supply? Final question - if the gas supply pressure as measured is high, can I take this into account in calculation? I believe 20mBar is the datum pressure on which these figures are based?
TIA as ever
