What is the meaning of Central Heating System?
A Central Heating System is used to provide warmth to an entire building or portions of it. The heating is carried through vents or radiators connected by ducts or pipes.
Why is silver not used in central heating radiators?
Silver is not commonly used in central heating radiators due to its high cost compared to other metals like aluminum, steel, and copper. These metals are more cost-effective and provide good thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer in radiators. Silver's high price makes it an impractical choice for mass-produced heating systems.
What are some problems common with central heating systems?
Air may get trapped in a radiator, leaving it cold at the top whilst it is warm at the bottom. It then needs 'bleeding'. Radiators may also have the opposite problem, where they are warm at the top yet cold at the bottom. This is caused by a build up of sludge in the radiator and will probably require professional help. Sometimes the downstairs radiators stop heating up, whilst the upstairs ones are fine. This is caused by a problem with the pump and will again require professional help.
Where can one find a Convector central heating radiator?

What has the coal pot been replaced with in modern times?
Central heating, radiators, so-called Slant Fin or inline method.
Why do your central heating radiators make so much noise when 1st turned on?
When central heating radiators make noise when first turned on, it is often due to air bubbles trapped in the system. As the hot water flows through the radiator, it displaces the air, creating a gurgling or banging sound. Bleeding the radiators to release the trapped air can help resolve the noise issue.
Why do so-called radiators which are part of central heating system have wrong name?
Radiators in a central heating system give off heat through radiation, convection, and conduction. While they primarily rely on convection to warm a room, they are named after the radiation method of heat transfer. It's a historical naming convention that has stuck over time.
