Does anyone know how these things work? My daughters oil fired boiler goes into lockout every morning when it is cold. It has done it for several winters now and as I am staying with her the last few days with no heating I am trying to get to grips with it.
The tank was low so they filled it but no change. The boiler man came and bled the pump saying the tank must have been so low air got in but the tank mans invoice said only half a tank full was supplied.
Anyway it ran all evening but locked out the following morning. I bled the pump again like the man showed me but could not clear the air bubbles. There appeared to be a lot of bubbles entering the tiger loop. The boiler man came back and bled it again and said the problem is that the tiger loop is too low and should be above the pump but I looked on the makers web site and now am not inclined to believe him.
The pump, tiger loop, filters and jets were changed last winter so I am thinking there may be air getting into the system but the tiger loop is supposed to remove it isn't it?
Any ideas?
Cheers
