Hello! Further to my musings about boilers etc. I need a quick bit of advice. I have a U16 gas meter. Looking next year to convert our oil fired boiler to gas. A couple of engineers have stated we need about 180kw input. No problems, but the meter spec says it can handle 173kw. Transco tell...

water cooled lamp :D

I think i need to go and work with Mr RF Lighting :D

yes, it was a coal fired gravity system, but (apparently) in the late '70s the boiler was converted to oil fired and a hot air blower installed, using the hot water. I guess a pump was added at this time.

Hello All, following on from my post about boilers... Our system has been pumping over for quite a while, most rads are sludged! I have identified the problem as the pump is sucking water from the F&E tank, the cold feed to the system joins about 12" from the pump. It is a single pipe system...

Why did you cut the wire? i am very nosy :D

Hi Tony, yes we have screened "Mugabe & The White African" Boilerman2, the burner is a nu way, NOL13 on off. it has a 1.5 and 2.5 nozzle on it, which equates to 15ltrs per hour apparently. i think the spray pattern is 60 degree solid. NXR4 looks to be good, with a riello hi low burner...

cinema boiler

Hi Boilerman2, thank you very much for the information, to me, certainly not useless, very interesting. your help has given me some help in deciding what to do next, yes, the cinema is an ex odeon, I will post some pics of our "Britannia" later on today. iammiann, when my company...

Tony, you are quite correct about warm air heating, in the winter the heating is on for 12 / 15hrs per day, just to be occupied for 3. I have Reznor coming out this week to discuss warm air... Your comments about cinemas are quite correct, that is why so many close, the manager is normaly...

OK, the boiler says 49KO on the plate. I will post some pics later today, Best Peter

Hi boilerman, thank you for your help, i will go and have a look later and post back, i will post a pic or 2 as well as i know we all like pics, your post confirmed my thoughts, half of my heat goes out of the chimney, glad the potterton is a good choice, the system we have is original...

Thank you MikeyD, 165kw sounds good, the boiler is an old ideal britannia, was burning solid fuel until the '70s. so i am not sure of its efficiency, probably 60 /70%? we are looking at getting a potterton nxr3 boiler, which claims to be 92% we have a gas supply which is rated at 250kw...

Hello All, I am having a rough work out, wonder if you can help? I have a boiler burning 15ltrs gas oil per hour, how can i work out how much heat this is giving me in KW? Also, what would you suggest is better value for money? gas oil or natural gas? before you wonder what i do with...

Hi there, I own a nightclub and we have E7, all they did was change the meter and add a timeclock, so everything is on the cheaper tariff from about 10.30pm to 6am :)

Hiya, Can anyone confirm if MDPE gas pipe must be buried or used outside? I am looking at a run of about 60mtrs of 50mm pipe through a roof void, i have had 2 quotes, 1 for tracpipe, 1 for melleable iron. Any thoughts please? Peter
