Does anyone recognise the brass valve ting in the lowest of the first 3 pics? Possilbly a Cyltrol type valve which is out of adjustment or knackered. I'm not clear where the 15mm pipe goes, Gareth that's the small one coming towards you and down, in the photo.
That's not a pressurised cylinder, is it chaps? Heat store? Bit odd having that tiny pressure vessel and the line strainer the wrong way up - which could I suppose be blocked.
Gareth I don't know whasgarnon so I'll pause to suck air in through me teef and tell you need a new one, 3 grand mate, OK?

I'm pretty sure this is a thermal store. combination type cylinder.
the brass valve thing I would imagine is a thermostatic mixing valve.
the small expansion vessel accomodates the expansion of the mains cold water as it enters the hot coil inside the cilinder.
I pressume there is a separate pumped primary circuit and a pumped CH circuit.
thats my tupence worth for now.

On a similar note:
In the bottom pic of those first three, theres a pipe that goes from right to left, bends 90 degress and then goes all the way down to the bottom. Dont know what this is (overflow I guess?), but its very loose. Its sitting in the socket, but its easily pulled if wigled about. Seems the white plastic joiner thing is broken. Would this be a problem? Should I just tape up the plastic bit to the pipe with some waterproof tape?
Errr, that include VAT?

does the central heating work ok ?
Nope, they're warm, but not hot. It was this that first made me realise I had a problem because the house was not warming up when I turned the heating on.
Am off home now, so will answer your Q from last night, about the tank being warm.
Cheers

you got an e mail adress
mail me i'll send you a drawing

I agree with kev its probably the simplest of these systems. A direct cylinder in respect to a pumped primary circuit with the water in the cylinder and primary circuit being used to feed a pumped central heating circuit. The mains cold enters a coil in the cylinder and comes out hot.
However, I suggest you ask yourself these questions just to be sure.
do you have one energy source (boiler) or is there a wood burning stove in the house?
or even a solar collector on the roof?
do one or more rooms have underfloor heating?
The number of permutations to plumb up these systems is err, ....a lot.

Hi Kev,
email addy is [email protected]
By pumps, do you mean the green and pink things either side?
Brumylad, the answer is no to all your questions. I have one energey source and none of the other stuff mentioned.
Cheers,
Gareth
