Can anyone help please? I have a potterton prima 50 f boiler and it is making an extremely loud noise like a kettle boiling or a wind tunnel.

I have recently done a chemical flush and drained the system several times because I had sludge in the rads. After re-filling the system and bleeding all the rads all but the lounge one were getting hot, so I locked it off and took it off and flushed it out with a hose, replaced it and it now gets hot. My problem now is that the boiler is really noisy and the flame sometimes burns orange. Is this to be expected for a while or should I be concerned?
