4.2.3 Central heating and domestic hot water production
In boilers used for heating and for producing domestic hot water, an inte
grated plate heat exchanger heats the domestic water. The heated water
is then channelled to the heating installation or to the plate heat exchanger
via a diverter valve. A flow sensor detects that a hot water tap has been
turned on and communicates this to the printed circuit board (PCB), which
switches the diverter valve to the hot water position and activates the
pump. The diverter valve is spring-loaded but only consumes electricity
when switching from one position to another. Priority is given to domestic
hot water.
4.2.4 Central heating mode
With a demand for heating the pump circulates water through the primary
circuit.
Once the main burner ignites the fan speed controls the gas rate to main
tain the heating temperature measured by the temperature sensor.
When the flow temperature exceeds the set temperature, a 3 minute delay
occurs before the burner relights automatically (anti-cycling). The pump
continues to run during this period.
When the demand is satisfied the burner is extinguished and the pump
continues to run for a period of 3 minutes (Pump Overrun).

4.2.5 Domestic hot water mode
Priority is given to the domestic hot water supply. A demand at a tap or
shower will override any central heating requirement.
The flow of water will operate the Hall Effect Sensor which requests the
diverter valve to change position. This will allow the pump to circulate the
primary water through the DHW plate heat exchanger.
