Boilers
The key to an efficient boiler is to have as close as possible balance in temperature within the boiler. The Oxyvent Tank balances the temperature
within the boiler.
The boiler is the source where the air is formed.
Air is formed in the boiler once the temperature goes over 60°C/140°F, therefore every time you switch on your boiler air is formed no matter what the type of central heating system you have.
*The most important factor when choosing a boiler is to have the heating output of your house calculated correctly. If your boiler is not sized properly it will lead to other problems and will be inefficient to operate.
When The Oxyvent Tank is installed, boiler temperatures can be reduced to achieve the same if not higher room temperatures. Every degree you lower your boiler temperature stat. you save fuel.
The water temperature in the boiler must be at a balanced temperature to save fuel. This can not be achieved without The Oxyvent Tank. As the water is heated in the boiler, the heated water will rise to the top section of the boiler. The cold water returning from the heating system enters the bottom section of the boiler. The differential in temperature will not allow the water to blend, a vapour barrier forms at the point where hot and cold meets. It can take several hours for a system temperature to balance, this is when your system looses most of its efficiency and becomes costly to operate. For this reason several heating experts recommend leaving your heating on constantly. Surely this is not an economical or environmentally friendly way to operate your heating system.
Dual boilers
Due to energy awareness it is now becoming common for householders to combine systems e.g. solid fuel with other heat sources. It is virtually impossible to combine boilers and get them to function properly without the use of The Oxyvent Tank, as it allows each boiler to operate independently.
The most common problems are:
• Pitching meaning casting steam or hot water into the expansion tank in the attic causing condensation in the roof of the building.
• Noises in the solid fuel boiler when the water heats up.
• Water boiling in the solid fuel boiler.
• One boiler heating when solid fuel is operating and vice versa.
The Oxyvent Tank resolves the above problems
One or more boilers can be connected to The Oxyvent Tank and detailed installation diagrams provided. Should you have any concerns please contact Oxyvent and we will be pleased to advise.
Oil & Gas Cookers
It was in working with oil cookers that the idea of The Oxyvent Tank originated. I discovered they were notoriously inefficient and it was virtually impossible to regulate the temperatures of the cooker. The water constantly boiling in the cookers boiler resulting in over heating and having to dump this heated water into the elements of the system such as radiators etc. The Oxyvent Tank increases flow rate, moving the water out of the boiler as fast as possible, controlling the cookers temperature and prevents the dumping of heated water, eliminating the necessity of having a radiator or underfloor heating on when cooker is operating.
This results in excellent baking and cooking properties, with a 50% fuel saving.
