Can you loose pressure through an unvented coil from a sealed CH system? I always thought the pressure on the main side of the cylinder being 3bar would if anything over pressurise the CH system an discharge via the PRV as the CH system pressure would only be around 1-1.5 as opposed the 3-3.5 in the cylinder? I'm genuinely curious as I would like to know if I'm wrong no discredit to other people's suggestions
Yeah it's a fair shout. But what your talking about there is static pressure. As soon as you open a tap now you've dynamic pressure, which is less by about half.
So when you open a hot tap you may see the boiler pressure (heating circuit) fall and then when the hot tap is closed you may see the boiler pressure rise
