Hi all,
I have an oil-fired closed system with a tank that provides my heating and hot water.
I've always had trouble with the valves on this system since it was installed in that one of them frequently made a noise when the heating of the water started.
However, recently the heating of the hot water does not always switch on as timed in the control unit. I've identified that the problem is the exit valve on the tank. Sometimes it works automatically, sometimes I have to open the port manually.
What puzzles me is the noise it makes when I open the valve. You can see/hear for yourself in this video:
I'm thinking that if I replace the head on the valve, things should go back to normal but the noise still troubles me. Can I assume it's due to a fault in the valve's gears or is there someting wrong with the system in general that causes the noise (and hence if I change the valve, the noise will persist)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
