Think your right Darren, the new breed are "Condensing Boilers" and have a condensate drain in addition to the other pipe connections ................... however I think that helps really, if Steve's heater has a flue to vent to the outside than condensation shouldn't be a problem, if not ................. then it's probably a bit of an issue  :bugeye:

I just thought I would let you know, my small oil filled rad was turned on for the winter season last weekend.

I went into the shop this evening, and everything is now at a stable equalised temperature, with no freezing cold feeling when you touch the machinery.

That will do me for a few months.

It's still warm outside here, warmer than inside the house.

I went outside a couple of days ago and got quite a shock, it was t-shirt temps and I had dome digging to do  :doh:

My problem may be a little more severe than some...I can expect my shop space in the unheated garage I plan to use to be as low as -40C. Needless to say I won't be out in that for long! On the one hand the condensation at that temp should be minimal until I heat up the shop. On the other, once I start turning up the heat, I can expect the cold metal to attract any moisture in the air creating frost. I expect that I will have to either put off any work during the cold months to avoid this or heat the shop to at least a comfortable level say -10C which may be costly. I'm working on getting the insulation in as the first step and will see what happens. As of now, my lathe is sitting in the middle of my office in a big wooden box. Lots of questions from passersby..."Is that a body in there?"

By ek, I thought 10deg was blooming cold for the workshop. I have heavily insulated my new workshop. I saw the cost of the insulation as an investment by leaving my heating quota in my pocket over the years and not in the utility suppliers.

Thankfully around here it mostly stays above freezing with the odd dip to around -3 or so. Generally that is ....
