[on31ll]

[missplumb]

Looks good miss
What you do with the old stuff

 

[Gray0689]

Not good what a waste
Can't you recycle them
Make a bit extra then
Froling isn't cheap stuff
I agree with tamz you work is looking excellent

 

[missplumb]

tbh, it wasnt part of our contract to remove the old gear from site and we wouldnt be happy fitting a new boiler and connecting it to existing buffers etc, if they failed then it wouldnt look good for us even though it wasnt our fault.

 

[Nostrum]

Who fitted the froling?

 

[missplumb]

it was fitted by Econergy (british Gas). it was done about 2008 so before the rhi was available. everything was undersized, boiler, pumps, expansion vessels .

I've got two froelings I look after. Absolute poo.

I would've gone for a Hoval STU.

What don't you like about the froling croppie?

 

[missplumb]

The boiler itself was fine, weve done a few 200 kw frolings and they are ok, bit too fussy, but work ok. the problem with this one was the heatloads totalled 140kw and the boiler was only a 90kw, the buffers were 2x 1600ltrs which is a bit on the short side, and because of the way they designed and controlled it, the boiler was always trying to provide heat for the system running 24 hrs a day even in the summer and the buffers sat cold.

What don't you like about the froling croppie?

They go through refractories like they're going out of fashion.

 

[Nostrum]

Refractories?

 

[Dotty]

internal blockwork. And arches.

 

[Nostrum]

Googled it, combustion chamber linings ?

 

[missplumb]

the firebrick linings inside the boiler

 

[Dotty]

Yep and yep.

 

[oz-plumber]

I would be very proud of them also.

Looks great - Well Done

 

[missplumb]

nice install, do you not put local isolation on the pumps simon?

 

[Scott_D]

Nice work, dont forget to ID tape the SS gas pipe:sorcerer:

 

[missplumb]

just started on a new install, replace a binder biomass boiler for a froling one and completely repipe plantroom, install buffer tank in seperate building.

 

[Nostrum]

Hi missplumb,

I'm surprised you are still working in copper on these scale installs, I would have expected LCS given the cost! Any particular reason why?

We are on a baby Froling next week, all 15kw of it along with a colossal 500 litre buffer!

 

[missplumb]

We've priced copper and lcs on a few jobs and there was only £500 in it. Then there is different cutter blades etc, and we get a decent price for whatever copper is left at the end of the job from the scrap man
the boiler we are doing is a tx250 with a 6000ltr buffer.

 

[missplumb]

boiler is in and built, most of the pipework in the plantroom is done

 

[missplumb]

biomass system finally up and running now for the fun bit - lagging

 

[gasmanrob]

2 bed flat is it?

Or or is this what there putting infront of the plate heat exchanger on a Worcester compact these days

 

[Scott_D]

2x Vaillant 120kw going in

 

[Scott_D]

2x 1000L cylinders going in
