Chaudière basse pression et haute pression. Le chauffage est dit basse pression si la pression de vapeur au départ de la chaudière ne dépasse pas 3 000 mm CE (0,3 bar). En réalité, la pression de vapeur, d'autant plus élevée que l'installation est plus étendue dans le sens horizontal, atteint rarement cette limite (pour 30 m : 500 mm CE, pour 200 m : 1 000 mm CE). 3, record 1, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20basse%20pression
