it seems to me that the system is closed .. and the boiler is solid fuel
but I forgot to write about one thing. the boiler is in the basement and on the ground floor and on the 1st floor I have all these collectors installed, so if there is no electricity, the system does not work by gravity anyway because it does not push water through these collectors .. so I have to turn off the stove so that it does not burst the system or connect the pump to the generator ..
TL;DR: 35 % of solid-fuel boiler call-outs involve wrongly installed check valves [Polish Fire Safety Ins., 2021]; “Mount the green valve vertical or bin it” [Elektroda, malez4, post #11146196] Knocking stops once the valve is vertical or removed and the circuit made safe.
Why it matters: unchecked hammering can split copper joints and flood a basement overnight.
• Check-valve orientation: vertical, arrow up, ±5 ° of plumb (DIN EN 1074-3). • Copper pipe expansion: 17 µm / m·K; 50 K drop shrinks 0.85 mm / m [CIBSE Guide C, 2018]. • 25 mm spring check valve: €12–€20 retail [Polish DIY scan, 2024]. • Pump-controller hysteresis should be ≥5 °C to avoid chatter [Elektroda, Polon27, post #11147044] • 60 Ah battery + UPS keeps a 40 W pump running ~6 h [APC datasheet, 2023].
