I've just bought an old house with a oil fired central heating system that i haven't come accross before, a one-pipe system. It was installed in 1969!
The radiators are a skirting type, consisting of a single copper pipe running through with attached metal fins, not unlike a car radiator.
I have 2 questions;
1. One of the radiators makes a 'whooshing' type noise every couple minutes, sounds like a mixture of air and water gushing through the system. My problem is how to release this air? There are no bleed valves at radiators becouse it's a single supply line.
2. I would like to replace them with a more conventional radiator but i don't know which manufacturer produce a compatible range for this system?
All replies grateful.
