- With reference to your radiation problem; as I understnand it your radiation
- system doesn't work and I have presumed that you have determined that it is
- due to air build up in the radiators. Your statement that you have bleed one
- radiator with lots of air ecsaping would indicate that air build-up may in
- fact be the problem.
-
- You will probably have to bleed the entire system (all radiators and
- piping). Start at the unit with the lowest elevation and work your way
- higher. Also, bleed each unit unit all the air has escaped and water
- is ejected. (Please ensure that your furnace is off while you are doing
- this).
-
- Hope this helps.
