Next message: Arild Jensen: "RE: lv-ab: Bleeding and priming hydronic heater."
What's the most effective and convenient way to prime 100 foot of hose
that is routed through the boat?
I have a Webasto hydronic heater, so the heating fluid is pumped through
the boat via 3/4 inch hose.. I recently replaced a hose that had a kink
in it that was restricting flow. Now I have some air in the hoses. I
suspect there is air trapped at the pump area. So the pump is not
moving the fluid. There are no nozzles to bleed air near the pump.
This hose obviously is not level, it goes through cabinets, so there are
low and high levels throughout the boat.. Towards the end of the hose
loop is an expansion tank that does allow air to bubble out of the
system. Also, some of the heater registers (fan units) do have bleeding
nozzles.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Neal.
