heat exchanger

Old Ferroli combi boiler (with the combi function no longer used, I believe copper HE), directly charging an approx 170l thermal store. Does everything I want from it - or will when I find time to get all the controls as I want them (individually controlled rads, variable flow temp depending on...

Goo In Pipe by Nigel R posted 14 Sep 2021 at 4:16 PMHi, I'm part way through having a boiler installed, and in a main valve and another compression joint my heating engineer has used a LOT of green goo that I think must be Boss Supergreen. There are gobs of it inside the ends of the pipe and in...

Hi there, Link to Manual: https://www.worcester-bosch.co.uk/support/literature/download/release/6720644741/12637 Not a plumber, just an infuriated owner of the subject boiler. I had a oil to gas conversion done and this boiler installed late 2013 by what I perceived to be a competent...

I have a service contract with WB for this boiler. Would a scaled up secondary heat exchanger be covered? For some years now our radiators have been getting hot in summer. In 2018 they changed the 3 way valve head. In 2019 they changed the complete 3 way valve. It still did it. In 2020 a...

I'm putting in a completely new central heating system to feed radiators (150m2 of house across two floors - about 13 radiators) and provide hot water (1 shower, 4 sinks). For this, I'll be installing a Samsung 12kw Heat Pump and a 20tube solar thermal array (58mm hot tubes with alcohol fill)...

Title was going to be "cold front warm rear" but sounds rude. Anyway, I changed heat exchanger on Grant Combi 70 V3 as it was leaking . Fiddly, but all ok without leaks. Now it's hot towards the back, cold at front. Flow from hot tap is lukewarm. PV Schrader valve leaking too ... I thought...

Hi, We've just moved into a 4 bed / 1 bath detached house. The combi boiler is around 8 years old, it's working but when our friend who is a gas engineer serviced it recently he believes there is a problem with the heat exchanger. We're looking to extend the house in the near future, extending...

Hi , I'll try and answer as much as I can CH fine - changed 3 way valve 2 year ago, changed pump around year ago along with air vent and recent PRV. HW flow always been low, pulled of the Flow valve & the CW in filter was blocked, a little scale inside bottom of the valve itself, valve seems...

I found a post on here with a similar problem and have been advised to start a new thread as this is for a different brand. This looks a very good site! We are having a big problem with hot water supply to taps and the shower, especially upstairs. Hot water will heat rapidly then go stone...

Hi I'm new to this forum and looking for some advice. I'm currently refurbishing my house and I'm looking for advice / pros and cons of a standard fan vs something like a continuous running unit or heat exchanger. It's a 3 bed semi with 2 bathrooms upstairs and and a toilet downstairs. It's...

Settle down for a long story...... A few months ago we started getting the hot, cold, hot , cold issue with our water. we had a bit of a nightmare trying to get a plumber to have a look which is a story for another time. He recommended changing the Thermistor, so he got the part and did the...

(I'm no expert but will do a lot of research and attempt most things if it will save me money and is legal to do myself) I moved into this house 1 year ago, but I think the boiler (Worcester 532i) is about 8-9 years old. At the weekend I moved a radiator (Someone had mounted it very high on...

Hi Had my boiler virtually rebuilt about a year ago by BG - new heat exchanger, diverted valve, pump. Have an issue starts this morning in that the heating won't turn off. Hot water works really well, no loss of water temp, programmer (electronic, built into boiler fascia) set to off for...

Hi folks. Bear with me, most posts on here ask for information so here it is. Wonder if anyone can shed any light on the problems I am having with my boiler? And before anyone jumps to the conclusion I will be looking to fix it myself - I won't, there is a gas safe plumber coming tomorrow (...

Just sent this to their customer service dept: -- I've just had the unfortunate experience of becoming one of your service plan customers, and it's been all bad so far. Zero points for customer service. What happened? The inlet pipe on the heat exchanger of my Vaillant ecoTEC plus 624 boiler...
