"100 degC is the boiling point at atmospheric pressure. You cannot
superheat water, it becomes steam."

Heating 101A today,
A change of state from water to gas/steam occurs under atmospheric
pressure(14.7lbs) at 100C/212F. In a closed system under increased
pressure, water can be heated well over 100C/212F with out changing its
state. Thus becoming known as super heated water.
I thought science and physics had no boundries and was universial, If
thats true you may need to educate yourself a little more on the
subject.

"You are assuming that it will always work when another failure has
occurred. It is hardly a fail-to-safe syatem."

No actually we know it will work but we always assume it will fail and
take every precaution possible. You see we are also held responsible
for our actions over here too.

I know we live in two different countries, with laws and codes we must
obey. Our heating systems are different thats understandable. What I
find difficult to comprehend is when we don't understand something on
your side we ask questions with open minds to further our own education
on the subject and understand your systems. On the other hand You guys
are ignorant of our systems, could care less about learning anything
new because you already know everything on the subject and your way is
the only way thats right. Thats sad, then you have the balls to insult
us and call us ill-mannered Americans.
You state our systems are dangerous and unsafe, hell I have to think
long and hard to even remember one instance in the last 30 years here
in the states that was related to a hydronic heating system failure
that took someones life or home.
