Central Heating (CH) Wiring & Controls

Central Heating (CH) Wiring & Controls

There are a wide range of controllers, valves & thermostats used in central heating systems in the UK. There are systems with zone valves and others with 3-port valves, some are fully pumped while others have a thermal convection loop, and then of course there are Combi boilers! During the course we will look at detail into the following systems, explaining how they work and how you can recgonise them;

• S-Plan - Multi zone valve system
• Y-Plan - 3 Port Multi position
• C-Plan - Gravity system
• W-Plan - Diverter system
• G-Plan - Zone valve (normally open!)
• Thermal Store

We then look in detail at all of the componets of heating systems (except boilers) and give you a through understanding of how they work, these include;

• Pumps
• Motorised valves (3-Port, Zone & Diverter)
• Thermostats (cylinder, room, frost & pipe)
• Controllers
• Bypass valves
• TRVs

Then we give you the hands-on opportunity to wire up from the basics, a complete zone valve system &/or a complete 3-port system. Then once you are happy with the wiring we will introduce you to the faulting finding process and introduce you to some common problems and solutions.
The cost of the course is £220.00 + VAT (£258.50 inc) and includes all tools and materials used, plus a buffet lunch is provided on both days.
