Do your pipes freeze .
If the basement has ventilation to outside, the answer is yes. Heat loss from the pipes will escape outside the house. If the basement is closed to the outside then no, the pipes need not be insulated. Any heat lost from the pipes will provide some heating to the basement that will rise into the house.
Simple answer: Yes.
Solar panels are divided into two main types depending on the energy they gain - electrical and heat. Obviously this one is gaining heat energy and that is why it has pipes connected to it.
When the steam hits colder piping it turns to condensate and the steam hitting the water (condensate) produces hydraulic shock waves.
It conducts heat and electricity very well. It is good in pipes for keeping the heat in the water.
I'm not familiar with rumbling in pipes, but the clanking of pipes when the heat starts up is a result of the pipes expanding because of the heat. Heat causes the metal to expand slightly, and the joints creak and clank when the heat makes its way through the pipes.
yes, as they heat up or cool down they groan
yes but i would start with the thermstat that will cause the car to ouer heat also Yes.
Heat tape is just for keeping the pipes from freezing, it does not heat the water. That's what the hot water heater is for.
The purpose of heat tape is to maintain and control pipes and vessels. This also keeps the heat that is being radiated from the pipes and vessels inside.
Do your pipes freeze .
it is mostly because you have had it on long and it is building up heat just let it cool down then if it still is making whirring noises take it in to be fixed or go to a electronics store and ask about it
no

In a steam heating system, the pipes transport steam or water vapor to the radiators to heat the building. Insulating the pipes reduces the amount of heat lost to the surrounding environment. Any heat lost in the pipes cannot be used to heat the radiators, and causes the system to be less energy efficient.
