Why does my cold water pipe make loud ringing noise only when the weather is cold and when we run the hot tap?
It may be in the main cold water shutoff or if you have a water pressure reducer it may be in the reducer manifold
What has surface tension greater than water?
Cold custard has a greater surface tension than water, Hence the reason you can run on it.
How is heat being transfered when you place your finger in the cold beaker why?
If the beaker has a cold water, or something else cold, in it than the heat that is in our finger will run out of you finger into the cold water. This leaves your finger 'empty' of heat, giving you the sensation of being cold. You need to remember that only heat moves. When you are cold you wear a jumper that keeps the heat in your body, not keep the cool out.
What makes the water hot or cold?
Hot water comes from a water tank whose contents are heated by either gas or electricity (some are solar). The cold water line and the hot water line run to a valve at which the user is able to blend a comfortable mix of both for various cleaning issues.
Is it better to run in the heat or the cold?
It's better in cold because you can run faster. In heat you sweat more than in cold.
Which cheaper to run a combi boiler or a hot water boiler in your home?
combi
How can you use coal?
In a fire in the home, or in a boiler to run an electricity generator.
Types of boiler in power plant?
There are a great many different kinds of power plants in the world. These power plants can be run by water for example.
Why does the bath hot tap with a total control boiler run hot only when run slowly then suddenly give cold water for awhile and then hot water again?
If it is an instant hot water heater, there is warm water in it to begin with. When new water runs throught, it takes a few moments for the elment to heat up and make the water hot, therefore some cold water will get through until it heats up.
Can you run your boiler with the water shut off?
For a while IF the boiler has an automatic low water cut off and other safety devices but if any fail you will have a melt down and an explosion
Is cold water run on electricity?
Only in water coolers.
What makes my hot boiler run an shut off then run an shut off?
When it achieves the maximum temperature, it shuts off. Then when there is demand for the water, or it is at its low setting, the boiler fires up again until it reaches the maximum temperature set.
What are your options for changing my hot water setup when my water is heated by a oil boiler now?
The best option is to put in a separate water heater for the summer and and other warm months when you don't need to run the boiler for heat. When it is winter and the boiler is running to heat the house it will heat the potable water as well. By switching back and forth you will save money on your oil bill.
Why does your furnace circulate hot water through baseboard elements when the thermostats are not calling for heat?
not sure of your application but possibly the pump on the boiler is set to run continuously and the thermostat energises the boiler itself.
Why is my hot water suddenly less hot Seems my combi boiler doesn't produce as much hot water as it used to The radiators dont get hot and I have to run the shower or taps on a trickle for warm water?
It could be a number of reasons. If it's still 'firing up' when you turn on the taps, it sounds like there could be a problem with the pump. If the pump is malfunctioning, the water will still heat a small amount of water, but then that has no way to get around the system efficiently. --------------------------- Thank you! Yes, it does fire up and the first bout of water is very hot, then it seems to go cold but if I then reduce the flow it stays warm and is fairly stable. It will eventually go cold but I'm assuming that's when the boiler stops firing due to the low flow. I've also noticed that if I have the temperature on high on the shower, I have to reduce the flow much further to get warm water (just a trickle) whereas if I turn the temperature down, I can run it on a higher flow and achieve the same temperature.
How do trains run on coal?
Only (some) steam engines used coal. It was burnt in a boiler to heat water to steam.
