Why are the radiators warm but water is cold in a central heating system?

Central heating systems usually heat on a different system from the hot water heater, unless the main heater is a combination furnace/hot water heater. If this is the case, it could be because the outflow of hot water is greater than the ability of the furnace to heat the water.


How does air get into central heating or radiators?

Air ends up in hydronic (hot water heating) systems in the following ways:1. The system has just been installed or repaired, and it has been filled with fresh, air-laden water. Heating the water will purge the air, which then typically collects in high points. It will need to be purged out of the system.2. A leak in the system causes fresh water to refill the system (through the feedwater valve).3. Air migrates from the expansion tank (where it belongs) to one or more radiators (where it doesn't).We don't want air in the system because:a. the oxygen in it causes corrosion; andb. it blocks the flow of heating water.The way to repair the above problems is:for 1. -- to purge the air from bleed valves daily until no air remains.for 2. -- to locate and repair the leak, and then fill and purge.for 3. --to purge the system, and also empty the expansion tank of water.The HVAC Veteran
