The Alpha CD Regular range of high efficiency condensing boilers are wall mounted, fan assisted room-sealed boilers. The
burner is lit electronically and the heat output is controlled by a modulating fan and gas valve.
The boilers provide heating only for open vented systems and with the addition of a sealed system kit for sealed central
heating systems.
The boilers are designed for use with a fully pumped open vented or sealed and pressurised central heating system using only
Natural gas.
The boiler CD13R is suitable for central heating loads of between 5.4 and 13.1 kW (18 400 and 44 700 Btu/h).
The boiler CD18R is suitable for central heating loads of between 5.4 and 19.6 kW (18 400 and 66 800 Btu/h).
The boiler CD24R is suitable for central heating loads of between 6.5 and 25.6 kW (22 200 and 87 300 Btu/h).
The boilers are rated to the SEDBUK efficiency band A and have a NOx class 5 rating.
