    Expansion vessel air pressure?

    Ok, i've just done a quick calculation/estimate on volume. I used current day kudox rad volumes based on the sizes/types i have, then added 20% to the total. This gives me around 40L for the rads. (i would guess my rads are aroun 20 years old and similar looking to older kudox ones) I have...

    Not sure if i got your meaning there Steelmasons, at the moment i've got a pre-charge air pressure of 0.9 bar and a system pressure of 1 bar when cold. When hot its rising to just under 1.5 bar. What should the pressure be doing when the system heats up, should it stay more or less constant or...

    Expansion vessel air pressure?

    Hi all, Hoping someone can confirm my pressures are ok on my CH system. I've just fitted an external 8L expansion vessel as the old one was knacked. I can't remove the old integrated one without the boiler coming off the wall so don't know what the pre-charge pressure was. Reading the boiler...
