Hi All,
I have a problem with one of my radiators. It seems to keep getting a certain amount of air it. I have 7 radiators in the system which is a one pipe open traditional system. The boiler is a back boiler and the Water/heating is controlled via thermostats and a 3 way valve.
All the radiators work and apart from the one on the bathroom collect no air at all.
The Bathroom one however seems to need frequent bleeding. After bleeding the radiator gets hot again at the top and stays hot until the timer turns it off. Then when it comes on again the bottom is hot but the top is warm (NOT cold). Infact it seems to cool from one corner and spread down and across. It is always the TOP LEFT corner that cools first.
It seems air enters the radiator when the system / Radiator Cools.
I dont really know what else to do. The Pump is on 1 as it was higher and was overpumping, but that is now resolved and the remaining Rads are very hot with no air at all.
Any Suggestions welcome - I am contemplating buying a AutoBleed Valve?
Thanks
Paul
