Add water to the boiler. You should have an automatic pressure reducing water make up valve, somewhere near the boiler. If it feeds directly into the boiler, make sure the boiler is cool when you add. Normal pressure on a cool boiler should be around 12 psi. The pressure will rise as the water is heated. You need a minimum of 1/2 psi for every foot of rise in the loop. So 12 psi in the basement will allow most systems to have a rise of appx 24 feet to the highest strip of baseboard. Remember, the pressure relief valve on the boiler lifts at 30 psi, so you need to stay well below that when the boiler is up to temperature.

How do you drain coolant from a Mercury Cougar 97?

97 Mercury Cougar V8 (4.6L) instructions. Also for V6. Drain coolant as follows: a. If cooling system is still hot, carefully wrap a thick cloth around the pressure relief cap and rotate slowly until pressure begins to release. Step back until the pressure is released. b. Then rotate pressure relief cap until free. Remove the pressure relief cap . c. Raise and support vehicle. d. Remove splash shield from front of front sub-frame and body. e. Open radiator draincock and drain the coolant system. f. Lower vehicle. g. Remove the inlet and outlet heater water hose from the heater core. CAUTION: Do no exceed 10 P.S.I. of air pressure when draining the heater core or possible damage to heater core may occur.

How do you bleed a baseboard heater system?

IF THE BASEBOARDS HAVE INDIVIDUAL COIN VENTS ON THEM, RAISE THE SYSTEM PRESSURE WITHIN 5# OF THE RELIEF VALVE SETTING ( 30# TYP. FOR RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE STORY) , PUT ONE ZONE AT A TIME INTO A CALL FOR HEAT AND CRACK THE COIN VENT SLIGHTLY TO ALLOW TRAPPED AIR TO EXIT. IF NO COIN VENTS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE CONVECTORS AND IF THE INSTALLATION WAS PIPED PROPERLY, YOU WILL ISOLATE EACH ZONE BY CLOSING THE VALVES THAT SERVE IT, ATTACH A SHORT HOSE TO THE ZONES BOILER DRAIN, MAINTAIN SYSTEM PRESSURE AS NOTED ABOVE, PLACE OPEN END OF HOSE IN A BUCKET AND PURGE AIR BY OPERATING DRAIN VALVE TILL ONLY H20 (NO AIR) COMES OUT. CONTINUE AS NOTED FOR EACH ADDITIONAL ZONE. lc


What are the 4 function of radiator cap?

Keep the cooling system at a predetermined rate of pressure. Raise the boiling point. Allow excess pressure to escape. Allow the cooling system to withdraw coolant from the reservoir.

How do you heat water without stove or oven?

As you probably already know, water boils at 212F (100C). This only applies when at sea level with an atmospheric pressure of 14.7psia. To raise the boiling point all you need to do is raise the pressure. In a steam plant where steam is used to drive turbines, the water is pressurized by heating it in an enclosed system. As the water turns to steam, the steam has no where to escape and the pressure in the enclosed system begins to rise. As the pressure rises so does the boinling point. Some plants will raise the temperature to 500F which corresponds to a pressure of about 620psi.

Is a hydraulic jack a hydraulic or pneumatic system?

Hydraulic , the jack uses fluid under pressure to raise the cylinder , releasing the pressure allows the cylinder to retract. Pneumatics is a similar concept using air pressure.
