CH pressure variation
 

What kind of variation should I expect between off and running?
Off (cold) it's about 1.5 bar rising to around 2 bar when hot.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "fred" saying something
like:

That's perfectly normal.

That's fine, although I would check the instruction book as 1.5 is a
tad high for cold, but nothing to worry about.

i have my (halstead combi) at 1 bar cold, it goes upto 2 bar when hot,
prolly a result of the mix of 15mm an 8mm microbore pipes in the system, (2
rads are on microbore, the rest on 15mm, why i dont know, but the ones on
the microbore heat up faster than the 15mm ones)

The central heating in my motorhome sees an even larger cold to hot pressure
differance, but that runs at 85 degrees C rather than the 55 a home system
runs at,

It depends on the vertical distance between the guage and the
highest point on the system. If you have 30' or more above the
guage, you will need more than 1 bar.
