Help - fed up with bleeding radiators
I need to ensure I've got all the air out of my closed pressurised
system in order to resolve/eliminate another issue. Pressure is around 0.8bar when I start, down to about 0.5bar when I've finished and I then repressurise. The bleed screws are those little square ones at the back (not side) of each radiator so when they squirt out they hit the wallpaper. The property is a bungalow so all radiators at ground level but the pipes go up and over via the attic. Anyhow most of the radiators instantly let out a silent stream of water. A couple sputter, water comes out but with a sputtering sound and/or a whistling sound and this is where I'm confused. It seems no matter how much I let out (I'm talking cup fulls not gallons) they still seem to sputter. They sputtered yesterday, today and I expect they will tomorrow. Is this air in the system or is it just the shape of the screw? Am I correct in assuming that air cannot be introduced into the system unless there is serious corrosion or the like going on? How much oxygen am I reintroducing repressurising the system? -- AnthonyL |
