Is the big red tank a boiler?
I'm guessing that the red tank is inside the blue rectangular structure?

What is the thing that says Rhoss on it?

Are the red pipes for hot water?

I see there are different types of insulation for the pipes. What are the different types and why use so many different ones?

I hope I am not asking too many questions. I'm just very curious about this.
 
hi zanne,the red tank is for water sanitary,but isn't properly a boiler..pratically the boiler (is out of the blue structure)warms a "snake" inside the tank,in this way you have the hot water..this is a 200 gallons tank..the different type of insulation is because there are different type of pipes.the red pipes are for heating/cooling (winter/summer) the galvanized pipes are for sanitary water (hot cold and recirculation)..if you see,this "blue structure" is on a roof,pratically we have done all in this structure (at the "ground plane") after this structure it was brought on the roof..the white structure,with "hoval" brand and the yellow pipe,is the boiler,while the white structure,with "rhoss" brand it's for cooling..here we call this "chilled" but I don't know if is the right name..inside the blue structure you can see the heating/cooling manifold, (its size is 6") and the part dedicated for the water treatment..I hope that you understand my explanation..you know my level of English-language :)

Ok. That all makes sense. Interesting that it has something to chill the water. I think "chilled" would be the right word.
Thanks for the explanation!
 
Wow. You have an amazing job! Sorry if I just noticed this thread today. I'm just a newbie here and came across this thread.
 
Welcome to the forum, Sally. Ale might not reply for a few days since he gets very busy with work.

Nice car, Ale!

I really love seeing the architecture as well as the landscapes in the background. Italy is beautiful.

yes, i use it to fit pipes up into pipe racks


it is rather difficult to hold a 40 pound 90 1/8'' [gap] away from the end of a pipe
12' in the air, holding square, level, and fitting. trying not to get your eyes flashed by the welders arch

as you hold everything plumb/level/square LOL

another little trick,,butt the fitting against the other fitting with a 20 gauge strip of sheetmetal inbetween the two
to maintain your gap .....LOL works
