Central heating - what is a "one pipe system"?

[doitall]

Have it your way m8.

I'm talking circulation pipework with say 5 gallons instead of 10 gallons, fill two buckets and see which boiles first.

 

[kevplumb]

i hear what you are saying but half the water content is cobblers
and lets be fair the efficency aint good regardless
deefa i assume you knew that

 

[doitall]

Yes m8 I knew that

I'll have a thousand pound bet with you, winner donates to charity.

You fit 10 rads in a house, and I'll fit 10 rads in an identical house, my 10 rads will reach 70C before yours and use less gas, must be identical boilers and not condensing.

 

[kevplumb]

we aint going to have the choice
however i hear what you are saying
still cant go with it tho
and i wont take the bet cos you would beat me out of badness

i have seen a 1 pipe system working in a 3 bed house fed by a baxi 105e but it was a very simple single pipe job meaning pipe goes in rad 1 end and out the other all rads fed the same so no trv where fitted and no knobs to turn water flow off as if u did u throttle the system all working though ? and the return flow was actually very hot (didnt measure it )

would a 1 pipe system work if the single feed pipe had a tail off feeding the rad and a tail from rad back to feed pipe

 

[doitall]

Thats how a one pipe system works, tee off to the flow, and tee off for the return.

Or did you mean cut an extra rad in the circuit

 

[bripl]

doitall you will only confuse them,what about one pipe drop sys or one pipe drop or two pipe with reversed return etc etc

 

[kevplumb]

reversed return does that go in the flow then
dont think you would be using that in a house unless it was some size

 

[bripl]

three bed terraced?2up 2down?kev doitall is right about the one pipe you would have lost sorry mate

 

[kevplumb]

not the first time the old git has shoved it up me bripl
thats why i dived

 

[bripl]

the old boy should retire and let some young person in on a few of his tricks/secrets who said knowledge is power? good luck

 

[kevplumb]

dont tell me T tell him

apparently curly called him a dinosour and lived to tell the tale
