Good Morning!
I have a Bryant model BW2AAN boiler that was installed in 1999.
Last week I was trying to bleed the upstairs radiators but was unable to get any air or water out of te bleeders. I manually cycled the water valve to introduce more water into the system (the gauge read just under 20 psi) and I was able to bleed the radiators.
Today I was checking the water pressure and it was up to 30 psi. I drained the boiler down to reduce the pressure to 17 psi but am wondering why this situation occured.
I have one of the old expansion tanks suspeneded in the rafters in the basement. If this becomes filled with too much water would that hinder the system's ability to properly regulate the water pressure? Would isolating it and draining it down allow my system to rebalance?
Thanks in advance for any and all information.
Thanks!
Jeff
