hiya ppl, im new to the gas industry and having a job interview tomorrow, the agency that got me the interview said they tend to give you some written questions.... the questions im stuck on is WHAT ARE THE 3 PRELIMINARY CHECKS TO CARRY OUT WHEN FAULT FINDING A BOILER?? and the other question is CAN YOU USE A LOW WATER CONTENT BOILER ON A GRAVITY SYSTEM?? i would very much appreciate some help please!! thank u, tommy

A low water content boiler would be a combi system boiler so i would say yes.

and the others would be burner pressure, flue unobstructed, water flow rates.

If you can't answer these basic questions already what are you doing going for a job with a boiler company

corgiman, i will accept ur criticism and will thank you very much for your answers! i have just left the army after 6 years and wanted to get into the gas industry, but didnt have the time/money to use up so i decided to do the "fast track" course to get the acs qualification. i have that now and just looking for a opportunity from a company

 

[corgiman]

Well Good luck with that

 

[ollski]

I'd be more tempted to say positive isolation, polarity, short circuit as my first three electrical checks, but what are they asking for? do they mean
1.electrical checks
2. manual reset
3 gas / water supply present

booooooooooooooooommmmmmmm

 

[gas4you]

Well Good luck with that

I second that But god you're going to have a very steep learning curve. ACS is one thing, fault finding and boiler repair is hardly anything that is covered on the ACS course.

I hope you were in electronics or the like in the army
