Hot water new boiler

lil_old_me

Keystone - thanks for your help. Here are the readings you requested

1. What is the temperature taken on the outside of the flow pipe from the boiler when it has been operating for five minutes at full setting. It kept rising - over a few mins rose from 30 to 45 degrees

2. What is the temperature taken on the outside of the flow pipe into the heating coil in the cylinder kept rising - rose to 46

what is the corresponding temperature on the [STRIKE]flow[/STRIKE] return out of the cylinder? Got to 39 degrees


What is the temperature at the output pipe where it exits the cylinder to the taps when the cylinder is up to temperature and you have run the hot tap until you get hot water from it - Got to 29 degrees

What is the temperature taken on the outside of the pipe close to the hot tap. - 26 degrees

Please help!

HI.

62 posts and no further on?

What did the Worcester engineer say when he visited on the 14-09-12 ? (This is the date you said it was booked for)

No response from your installer?

Your temperature readings are all over the place, in one post the water is 60 degrees near the cylinder, now its 46.

You really need someone to visit and make sure you are running the system properly and the whole system is functioning as it should.

One post you made mentions that the water didn't get hot on the previous boiler, I wonder why.

The whole thread could be a big wind up I suppose.

We cancelled the service visit by Worcester as we are in middle of doing up kitchen and I could just see them saying it's the dust in boiler. It's not as this happened before we did kitchen.

In any event, I don't think there is problem with pipework but could it be the boiler?

Hi.

I can't help but think you are not very serious about your 'problem' otherwise you wouldn't have cancelled the visit.

Let us know what the outcome was when you've had someone in.

Allowing for losses through the wall of pipe and for inaccuracies with a single measurement I just don't think your cylinder is getting up to temperature at all.

I can only echo what CH said. You need that technical visit and its a shame you cancelled it.

Cheers

yes agree with CH & KS what has redoing your kitchen got to do with anything unless you took the boiler off of the wall how do you think you got dust in there ?
