Alpha CB/28 combi boiler Hot water problem

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help. I had a simular problem about 8 months ago and had a new diverter valve fitted. This problem appears to be a little different in if i do a reset it often rectifies itself or if this fails i just remove the DHW flow switch and replace it then it tends to work for a few hours.

Furnace size

Danno6102 on May 05, 2006

I downloaded the HVAC Calc program that I've seen mentioned here to size my AC unit & furnace. Can anyone tell me if this sounds correct? I live in Indianapolis, winter design temp of 3° & we keep it about 68° inside, the house is 106 years old but in the process of being updated, 2 story, 2000 sqft., R-19 exterior walls with Tyvek & vinyl siding, floor is over a crawl space with R-19 insulation, mostly carpet flooring, ceiling will be R-49 under ventilated attic. All new doors & windows. I hope this is enough info to get an idea if it's right or not. The program spits out 46,067 heat loss, which if I add 20% gives me about a 55,000 btu furnace that I need. Thanks, DanRead More

HELP! Water pouring out of radiator valve

T

tigerlili on Apr 24, 2006

I have water pouring out of my radiator valve -- like an open faucet. What gives? This happened over the weekend and we were not at home. I noticed that the water level in the boiler was high and drained it down to 1/3. I've done this 3 times since last night. Once the water is drained, the boiler starts up, warms the house and then the water fills up again. Just when the floor and basement wall was drying up, the radiator started to leak again. The valve where the water is pouring out of is not the one that goes into the floor, it's the release valve on the side. Can you tell me what might be happening and why?And what I can do about it? Thanks a bunch. Lillian:(Read More
