Another plumbing/heating one that was worth a picture today

IMG_4192.JPG


Should have got a better picture really, drilled through the wall at an angle to pick up the pipes around the corner and then did one horizontal and found the electric socket for the power supply, but customer appeared.
The hardest part was fault finding the heating system fault they had suffered for 10 years, previous chap had a wire missing from the control centre, took a while to find it, but all working now [emoji41]

Can you explain what the parts are in picture? Is it a blending valve on top of pump?
Whats the small white box to right of pump?

Small white box is the wiring for the controls in the pump, blending valve on the top as it’s a single loop extension from a traditional radiator system. Basically there was a wall with a rad on it, walls gone, single room extension built and wet underfloor installed. The flow and return to the old rad now supply the pump unit, blending valve drops the temps to 35*C as any warmer and you’d need shoes on. Pump unit has a temp sensor so only starts when the flow from the old system reaches 31*C the underfloor pump starts.
Hope that helps [emoji41]

Some days the customers faces say it all when I let slip I’m really a farmer in disguise [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Thanks @Adeptandy I thought it looked like a blending valve, but couldn't think what it was for, hadn't considered temp drop for underfloor!
