Unvented central heating system

by Ed1 » Mon Apr 13, 2009 12:12 pm

Hi

I have a query regarding my central heating system and was wondering is anyone knows the answer. I think my system is an unvented central heating system. basically we have high pressure hot water in showers taps etc, a hot water cylinder but no tank in the loft.

If I put the hot water to heat up and then just put the central heating on the hot water that feeds the showers then goes cold. I thought that the hot water that feeds the tabs/shower would be different to that that supplies the radiators therefore do not understand why putting the heating on makes the shower cold before any water is used.

I anyone could enlighten me that would be much appreciatted.

many thanks

Ed

The unvented cylinder is for your hot water not the central heating. It doesn't make sense to me so getting yourself a plumber with a G3 ticket seems a sensible approach to me.

Cheers
