Oxyvent for Underfloor Heating
Has anyone heard or had experience of Oxyvent in Ireland?
The founder got a silver medal at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva for this invention. They went into production in 2002 but as far as I know only have installations in Ireland at present. For underfloor heating, the device instantly balances the system , i.e. the water enters the floor at almost the same temperature as the floor and increases gradually, the water is allowed to move freely and quickly through the floors due to the fact that the air has been removed and the flow rate increased by 66%. Because the air is removed, if you have the narrow plastic pipe system for underfloor heating this solves the problem of any clogging up occurring. Web site: www.oxyvent.com |

Unfortunately, as with much of his ramblings, he has blended a superficial knowledge of the subject with abysmal ignorance and a marginal understanding of language. The result is well up to his usual standard of incomprehensibility. -- Peter Parry. http://www.wpp.ltd.uk/ |

The result is well up to his usual standard of incomprehensibility. I find IMM the most informative on this group on heating and water systems. I have saved many of his postings over the last few years. I particularly like the suggestion of using a combi for the power showers and a low pressure 50-50 split combi cylinder for the remainder of the hot water. I was considering using a either an unvented cylinder or thermal store to eliminate a cold tank in refurbishing my mothers 1969 heating system. The combi boiler and combi cylinder, which is only the size of a thermal store or unvented cylinder, is an excellent cheap easy way which eliminates a separate cold tank in the loft. I am pricing the parts up and so far it is the cheapest option and provides the same as the unvented cylinder and a thermal store. If you have a personal grudge then please keep it off line. |

Web site: www.oxyvent.com It appears a large manifold and air separator. Having won the award I would take the device seriously, as it indicates that people have tested it and it does roughly what they say it does. I hope they tested it! Was this a recognised and respected organisation that gave the award? Are there any independent tests though? I assume the box is available on the Continent being made in Holland. The claims of 50% less fuel used appear wild, so independent tests are required. Briefly looking at the web site I fail to see how this box does what they say. I separates air as it is a large air separator, but the rest? If it does what they say, this device could be incorporated inside a boiler casing. Sceptical. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
