Hi,
Can I fit a "system" boiler on a vented system?
I have a copper thermal store cylinder which is 210 Ltrs of water treated with inhibitor and is directly connected to the boiler and nothing else. The cylinder has a header tank mounted directly above it to ensure it is constantly topped up and is 3M above the boiler inlet creating 0.3bar. This is working fine and i would rather not replace it, and cannot make it pressurised.
I have bought and installed (but not tuned on) a Biasi Advanced Plus 30kW system boiler with a minimum working pressure of 0.3bar.
I am concerned that I might have an issue with a boiler designed for a sealed pressurised system working with such a vented system, but as the pressure should be within the specified range I do not know what else could cause problems. Biasi technical support are no use. The underfloor heating company cannot see a problem so suggest I try it and see.
Is there a reason why this would not work?
Has anyone done this and seen any issues?
Regards,
Andy
