Yet another F&E tank overflow

[doitall]

Well I've produced a diagram using Word but I can't download it into the post. As far as I can see the flow is:

Boiler => Pump => Hot Water Cylinder => Return pipe =>Boiler
....................... => Valve => Radiators => Return pipe => Boiler

After the pump there's a 3-way junction but HW is never turned off unless cylinder thermo operates. Room thermo operates to open the valve to the radiator circuit.

What's an aerjec?

What's an aerjec?

A device designed to separate air from water, so that it DEFINITELY goes up the open vent and not round and round the heating system.
IMHO, best avoided and usually completely unnecessary on properly designed systems.

They can only separate BUBBLES of air, not dissolved oxygen and therefore can do very little to prevent corrosion in a system with an air leak.

99.99% certain there's no aerjec
