cen heat ppt 5

What is the purpose of balancing a central heating system?

• To increase the water pressure

• To optimize the distribution of water for suitable heat output

• To reduce the noise of radiators

• To decrease the energy consumption

What is one method to compensate for colder radiators?

• Decrease the boiler thermostat

• Increase the boiler thermostat

• Turn off the pump

• Lower room thermostats

What is a common effect of turning up the pump speed?

• Reduced energy use

• Increased electricity use

• Decreased electricity use

• Balanced energy use

Why is it important to record how many turns it takes to open the lockshield valves?

• To ensure they are fully open

• To adjust the pump speed

• To set the room thermostats

• To check the system pressure

What is the role of the pump speed in the balancing process?

• To control water flow through the system

• To adjust the room temperature

• To regulate the boiler temperature

• To maintain system pressure

What should you do as the system begins to warm up?

• Turn off all radiators

• Visit each radiator and check the flow and return

• Open all windows

• Increase the thermostat to maximum

How long should you let the system stabilize?

• 30 minutes

• 1 hour

• 2 hours

• 15 minutes

What should be set to the desired temperatures after adjusting TRVs?

• Boiler temperature

• Pump speed

• Room thermostats

• Radiator valves

What is the primary purpose of using an infrared thermal camera in heating systems?

• To measure humidity

• To detect temperature variations

• To measure air pressure

• To calculate energy consumption

Which tool is not typically used for balancing a heating system?

• Infrared thermal camera

• Infrared thermometer

• Temperature probe

• Voltmeter
