Hi Dobre, I start a new thread but anyway gunna try and put a few pics on the forum, maybe it is interesting. Hope it works!!!!!
These are a couple of photo's of a boiler room I made here in Holland. It is a heating system that centrally heats an office block
and also a storage warehouse. The row of Boilers or heaters warm up the water and then it is pumped around the building and via radiators and indirectly heated fan heaters it warms up the place.
The heating installation begins with the begining of the building as soon as the concrete floor has been laid we begin with laying the pipe (in the floor plastic) for the radiators and all the main pipes in the roof (mild steel) for the different levels in the building. In the one photo you can see that small manifold on the left hand side comes out of the cement floor, then it begins with steel pipe, my favourite part. Being a heating/cooling installer you have to do quite alot of different things to make the installation from start to finish (so unfortunately not only welding)that means rolling plastic pipe and hanging up cooling or heating convectors putting massive chillers and air handling units on roofs and all the rest, but the best part of the job is making the heart of the installation "the boiler room". The most time is put into the boiler house. I call it that but am not too sure what you should call it in english. This room consists of Boilers, manifolds, industrial chillers, air handeling units, heat pumps, air conditioning facilities, water pressure pumps and of course what i never got involved with the electrics. These systems are once they have been properly computer installed are held in check via a computerised service installation at the company office. They can often fix alot of service kwams by the flick of a switch on the computer at the office, eg. water temps and temp indicators, three way vavles opening or closing (very interesting stuff) The boilers themselves are also computer controlable from the office due to some hi tech electrician work.
We do not fall under the steam regulations here so the pipes do not have to be x-rayed. But the boilers are gas fed and these pipes are welded to x-ray. they take zaps of 10% of the total welds being a minimum of two.
Well this is a little insight to a dutch central heating system now i am gunna try and put the photo's up. see what happens
