sealed system filling with air

Kbs, I'm your cyber-friend. Really. A good friend will try and point out what may possibly be an error, 'cos they look out for you.

If the released gas burned as you said, then I guess it must have had hydrogen in it. Ergo - there is corrosion taking place, almost certainly in the rads as they are the only parts that rust, being made from steel.

I know I'm being suspicious of what you say, because it just seems sooo unlikely.

You changed the system to sealed and, 3 weeks later - that's 3 weeks later - a number of rads had very sizeable quantities of 'gas' in them. You released that gas, and three weeks later they filled again? Blimey.

That is an astonishing level of corrosion taking place.

Even if you hadn't added inhibitor, this level of corrosion would be extremely unlikely as all the air that was dissolved in the freshly-added system water would have been consumed very quickly and the corrosion should have stopped by itself.

And if you had added inhibitor - as you obviously should have - then there should have been zero corrosion over this period of time (and, in fact, years...).

So that's why I question what you say. I obviously don't know what is happening here, but a factor that I do need to take into account is that we only have one person giving their version of events.

So, if you want to insist that what you say is absolutely true, then fair enough. I'll have to accept it. But it chust seems very very weird...

 

Ok, Kbs - I accept you are not a wind-up merchant, but I don't think it helps your case to be so 'tetchy' to my colleagues on here...

 

WELL KBS..

 

If only you were that funny, but your comedy is like your plumbing, up in smoke., now that's a GAS.

 

Are you Gas safe registered? If you are having that kind of build up within a short space of time and would check this as a matter of urgency as there is risk of explosion

 

Sorry, would you like me to remove my post?

 

Don't worry about it JG ,that man could fall out with himself.
