Oh, the only time my radiators get hot all the way across is on very cold days. On average days, only 1 or 2 fins are hot.Due to my vents being mostly open, Im never running at any pressure, so its hard to balance the system. Any suggestions ? Also, do you have any videos on the boiler and settings ? Like proper cut in cut off pressure settings, and proper flame adjusting for the burner and gas valve ? Thanks, hard to find videos on Steam systems.
On hot days everything works good. On average days, some rooms the radiators dont heat up enough. Im wondering if I should just get all Gordan non adjustables and replace the adjusttable vents. For some reason after a very cold day, when the weather warms up and the radiators cool down, and the vents cool down, they tend to "stick", and I have problems with them. What do you suggest ?
Nice video, wondering if you can help with a problem I been having for a long time. I have single pipe steam. 4 radiators on the 1st floor, 3 on the 2nd floor. I cannot balance the system out. I had all dole 1a adjustable vents at one time, but had issues with them. They would tend to "stick" and not vent at all even when open to number 10. I bought some generic adjustables that worked real good, but Im always messing with them trying to get everything balanced.
@akwesi100 I definitely agree that the infrared energy that those types of radiators give off make rooms feel much warmer than they are. What is the average pressure inside of that type of radiator? And does the venting of the radiators give you any moisture problems, like condensation on windows and such? Also, is the plumbing installation more critical in the single pipe versus dual pipe?
@100PercentGreen) The average pressure inside any steam radiator is normally 3 to 5 psi but steam heating systems dont go any higher than 15 psi. if the air vent works propperly then you get no moisture condensation on the window from the air vent. hot water systems operate anywhere from 0 psi to 45 or 50 psi.
@akwesi100 Okay I see...So dual pipe systems use hot water and not steam?
Btw, are you planning on reuploading your last 2 videos?......I think YouTube might have problems converting .m2ts files.....if you need help converting them then I should be able to assist....
