Hi, I'm trying to figure out how my CH works as I've just moved into a property with a old installation from the late 60's. My problem is that I can get hot water from the immersion heater but I'd expect to be able to get CH from it too, but no joy.
One side of the boiler is connected for hot water, the Albion has pipe at top and bottom, fed from a large tank in the roof - all good there. The other side has indirect water heating attached to a small tank in the roof, the water is high on it. This side then goes down into the back boiler in the living room, which is a solid fuel 1969 Rayburn Rapsody 301 and then out the other side upstairs to a pump. From here I guess it's being distributed around the house. I'm trying to run the system with just the immersion heater, not the back burner. It should work right? The weird thing is that when I switch on the pump and the immersion heater, the hot water supply works but the pipe out of the Albion to the back burner doesn't even pretend to get warm. I guess it should though.
Any ideas????
