Hi I have an unvented, indirect system that is heated via a communal boiler located in the basement of my apartment block. Whilst the hot water and central heating are working I think the radiator heat is not very even. I understand that the pressure for most boilers (and so presumably central heating?) should be approx 1 to 1.5 bar when cold. I am confused due to the 3 gauges I can see, 0 bar at the expansion vessel and 1.4 and 2.0 bar on the cold and hot entry points the heat exchange unit. Should I just ignore the heat exchange unit, and using the filling loop would have no impact on it?
From online guidance I have seen topping up the pressure is with reference to the display on the boiler or a gauge below an expansion vessel, however those systems did not have communal boilers. Should the central heating work at all if the pressure is really 0 bar?
