What are the most reliable condensing gas boilers?
I’m having a new central heating system installed into our 3 bed semi. What are the best models/makes of A rated boilers for reliability?
For reviews try goggleing ‘condensing boiler reviews’ tried this for when looking for our new TV and it brought up some good sites, also try the ‘Which’ magazine web site. Then see below for getting a good tradesman.
This applies to any trade you are wanting. Try web site called checkatrade, typed into any search engine will bring it up. Then type in your post code, so you get the ones local to you. All the people on here have been vetted, checked out for certificates, right qualifications and insurance etc and open to further monitoring. On the web site you can read other customer comments etc and the ratings of the companies. Checkatrade collect all their customer reports themselves and the companies do not see them.
So this is about as near as you’ll get to avoiding the cowboys.
Still get a couple round for quotes though.
Have used the site often and always been happy with the people selected.

【モリタCAFS実験動画】CAFSの熱遮蔽.wmv
モリタのCAFSを使用した基礎実験動画。
■CAFSの熱遮蔽
ヒーターで50度で熱したベニヤ板に水とCAFSの放射を行いました。CAFSは放射後も泡が壁面に滞留し、ベニヤ板表面の熱を泡が遮っていることがサーモグラフィーで確認できます。
※CAFS(Compressed Air Foam System:圧縮空気泡消火装置)は、水に少量の消火薬剤を加え、そこへ圧縮空気を送り込むことにより発泡させる装置で、水の表面積を広げることで効率よく消火することができます。

モリタの泡消火薬剤の効果実験
■表面張力
ベニヤ板に水、泡消火薬剤をそれぞれ1滴垂らし、さらにほぼ同量の水、泡消火薬剤を重ねて垂らしました。水は表面張力の影響で粒になったままですが、水に泡消火薬剤、泡消火薬剤に水を垂らしたケースでは表面張力が失われ、即座にベニヤ板に浸透しました。

Helicopter Rocket Assisted Takeoff: “ROR: Rocket on Rotor” 1955 Reaction Motors 22min

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_Motors
Reaction Motors Inc. (RMI) was an early American maker of liquid-fueled rocket engines, located in New Jersey. RMI engines with 6,000 lbf (27 kN) thrust powered the Bell X-1 rocket aircraft that first broke the sound barrier in 1947, and later successors including the X-1A, X1E, and the D558-2 Douglas Skyrocket. A 20,000 lbf (89 kN) thrust RMI engine also powered the Viking research rocket, the first large liquid-fueled US high-altitude rocket. RMI was merged with Thiokol in 1958, where it produced the XLR-99 engine that powered the X-15 rocket aircraft.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip_jet
Tip jet refers to the jet nozzles located at the tip of some helicopter rotor blades. The objective is to spin the rotor, much like a Catherine wheel firework.
Some tipjets rely solely on compressed air, provided by a separate engine, to create jet thrust. Others use an afterburner type system to burn fuel in the compressed air at the tip (tip-burners) to enhance the thrust. Some are ramjets or even a complete turbojet engine. Some are rocket tip jets that run off stored propellant such as hydrogen peroxide.
Tipjets replace the normal shaft drive and have the advantage of placing no torque on the airframe, so no tail rotor is required.
During the Second World War a German, Friedrich von Doblhoff, suggested powering a helicopter with ram jets. The first jettip powered helicopter was the WNF 342 V1 in 1943. After the war two WNF 342 prototypes ended up with the Americans and Doblhoff joined McDonnell Douglas who subsequently produced the McDonnell XV-1. The engineer who had actually produced the tip jet engines, August Stephan, joined the Fairey Aviation company of the United Kingdom which used them in their Fairey Jet Gyrodyne and Fairey Rotodyne aircraft first flying in 1954 and 1957 respectively…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_H-19
The Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw, (also known by its Sikorsky model number, S-55) was a multi-purpose helicopter used by the United States Army and United States Air Force. It was also license-built by Westland Aircraft as the Westland Whirlwind in the United Kingdom. United States Navy and United States Coast Guard models were designated HO4S, while those of the U.S. Marine Corps were designated HRS. In 1962, the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Marine Corps versions were all redesignated as H-19s like their U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force counterparts…
The H-19′s first flight was on November 10, 1949 and it entered operations in 1950. Over 1,000 of the helicopters were manufactured by Sikorsky for the United States. An additional 550 were manufactured by licensees of the helicopter including Westland Aircraft, the Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques du sud-est (SNCASE) in France and Mitsubishi in Japan.
The helicopter was widely exported, used by many other nations, including Portugal, Greece, Israel, Chile, South Africa, Denmark and Turkey.
In 1954 the Marines tested an idea to assist the rotors lift better in hot or high climates and if the helicopter was overloaded, by installing a rocket nozzle at the tip of each rotor blade with the fuel tank located in the center above the rotor blade hub. Enough fuel was provided for seven minutes of operation.
Operational history
The H-19 Chickasaw holds the distinction of being the US Army’s first true transport helicopter and, as such, played an important role in the initial formulation of Army doctrine regarding air mobility and the battlefield employment of troop-carrying helicopters. The H-19 underwent live service tests in the hands of the 6th Transportation Company, during the Korean War beginning in 1951 as an unarmed transport helicopter. Undergoing tests such as medical evacuation, tactical control and front-line cargo support, the helicopter succeeded admirably in surpassing the capabilities of the H-5 Dragonfly which had been used throughout the war by the Army.
The U.S. Air Force ordered 50 H-19A’s for rescue duties in 1951. These aircraft were the primary rescue and medical evacuation helicopters for the USAF during the Korean War. The Air Force continued to use the H-19 through the 1960s, ultimately acquiring 270 of the H-19B model…
The H-19 was also used in the early days of the Vietnam War before being supplanted by the Sikorsky H-34 Choctaw, which was based on the H-19.
