certain anaesthetising effect, and can also
result in shortness of breath and symptoms of
suffocation.
These symptoms quickly disappear if the
sufferer breathes in ordinary air or oxygen.
Naturally, it is inadvisable to inhale either LPG
or exhaust fumes. To make it easier to detect
gas leaks, a substance with a distinctly rank
smell has been added.
COMBUSTION
Complete combustion of LPG only generates
carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour, just
like the air we exhale.
A good supply of air is essential to ensure
complete combustion. The flame should
burn with a weak blue colour, the centre
of the flame should be blue/green. LPG is
extremely environmentally compatible and
does not generate any soot during complete
combustion. It can be stored in cylinders for an
unlimited time period, without any deterioration
of quality.
PRESSURE
The LPG burner usually works at a lower
pressure than that in the cylinder. Low pressure
(0-50 mbar) and intermediate pressure (50
mbar- 2.0 bar) are created by allowing the
gas to pass through a reduction valve. High
pressure (over 2.0 bar), is unreduced pressure
mainly used in camping equipment. Low
pressure and intermediate pressure are always
reduced pressure.
FAULT FINDING
THE BOILER DOES NOT START
1. No LPG? Incorrect type for conditions?
2. Is the main tap fully open?
3. If the boiler has not been operated for
some time, or if the gas cylinder has been
changed, it may take longer than normal to
light the boiler.
4. Check that the boiler is connected to the
electricity supply (> 11V).
5. Check that the fuse (T) for the boiler is intact.
6. Check whether the electric connections on
the boiler are securely in position.
If none of the above helps, contact a service
workshop.
THE HEATING CARTRIDGE IS NOT
WORKING
1. Check that there is an electricity supply
(230V ~) to the heating cartridge.
2. Check that the relays fitted to the boiler
come on (a slight click can be heard from the
relays when the heating cartridge is switched
on at the control panel).
If none of the above helps, contact a service
workshop.
