Not for the layperson
Chattopadhyay, as my colleague points out, is no slavish devotee of the Imperial system of measurement. But what he does do is take the FAQs that many experts might have in relation to boilers and answer them in a way that is comprehensive and - for the expert, at least - probably quite helpful.My own interest was in getting a slim little 85000 BTU combi with a 2 stage frost thermostat to protect against frost whilst minimising gas consumption, as well as a built-in expansion vessel for sealed system operation and an automatic bypass valve. My question? Simply, where to get one. To be fair, PC wasn't so good on this type of question, dwelling more on the mechanical elements of energy efficiency and so on. But for folk like me, there are always the search engines.(For the record, I think an inch is about a metre and a half.)
