BoilerDesign
Theboiler’sinternalheatexchangerconsists
ofthreeconcentriccylinders:thecombustion
chamber,thecentralheatingcylinderandthe
hotwatercylinder.
The combustion chamber is made from
aluminium, and is divided into two halves by
a bafe plate, with the burner head located
in the top half, and the ue gases venting
throughthebottomhalf.
Thecombustionassemblyisxedtotheend
of the internal heat exchanger. It consists
of the burner, combustion fan, gas valve, air
intakeandexhaustducts,andgasline.
Two electric heating elements are sealed
inside the central heating cylinder, one for
1kW,onefor2kW.

Electric Heating
When electric heating is set to 1, 2 or 3kW,
relays on the PCB trip, feeding the 230 v

Domestic Hot Water
Thecombi-typeboilerautomaticallyproduces
hot water. Heat is emitted from the central
heating cylinder into the hot water cylinder.
