sorry for the delay there sunshine fans….
Events. Events.
Anyway…thermal paste on the business end:
20 in.
60 in
Finished installing the tubes by 13:30 this lunchtime, and I think promptly boiled the water, but had to rush out so set the fan speed to pos 3 (fast) to make sure it didnt do anything silly. Just got back and everything seems OK.
Have adjusted the call for heat trigger temp for the boiler so that it fires at 55deg, not 65deg and shuts off at 75deg not 85deg. I want to keep a decent wodge of cooler water at the bottom of the thermal store to make the most of the array energy.
Its going to take a bit of time to get the temp settings bang on, as well as the pump speed setting, Im not sure that pos 1 isnt too slow in mid summer…we’ll see.
I think I will replace one of the manual bleed vents with an auto one OR re-route the expansion overflow so that it comes from the return bleed vent tail because when it was stagnating there was quite a bit of knocking and I think it’s because of the route the pipes take when they come into the building. Not a trained plumber so some trail and error to expected…
