Gentlemen,
We've moved into a house with an ageing (and inefficient) central heating system. Early investigations quickly turned up this little 100 mm high copper cylinder on the hot flow from the boiler. It is placed just below the upstairs ceiling, and connected immediately before the cold water make-up inlet. Next thing connected downstream is the pump.
<== here it is wih the boiler, and here's a close-up ==>
I can't work out whether it is vital, redundant, a trouble-maker, or something in between! In particular, is it affecting the heating system efficiency? Can anyone identify it for me, please, and / or advise on its value?
Thanks in anticipation, Mark
