tundish

The word tundish originates from a shallow wooden dish with an outlet channel, fitting into the bunghole of a tun or cask and forming a kind of funnel for filling it. These were originally used in brewing.
In general, any tundish will accept flow and store a small amount of material, while dispensing material elsewhere, similar to a funnel. In contrast to a funnel, the purpose is generally to regulate flow, and achieve a more steady output with intermittent inputs, and the tundish typically will take on a different shape.

    Tundish leaking on Tribune Premier when water heating up - help!

    Hello I have water leaking (dripping/pouring) when my boiler heats up my hot water. Over the past few weeks I have heard a popping noise as well - though not necessarily at the same time. I suspect it might have something to do with my expansion vessel. Can anyone help? Regards, Zoomer.
