Checking flue integrity

Flue integrity check
▶ The combustion casing must be fitted whilst this test is carried out.
▶ Refit the test point plugs after the test has been completed.
The integrity of the flue system and performance of the appliance can be
checked via the flue turret/adaptor sample points.

▶ With the appliance combustion casing on and the appliance running
at maximum output in chimney sweep mode
( chapter 7.5 "Chimney sweep mode"), remove the blanking plug
[2 or 3] for the air inlet sample point [1].
▶ Insert the analyser probe into the air inlet sample point [1].
▶ Allow the readings to stabilise and check that:
– O is equal to, or greater than 20.6%
2
– CO is less than 0.2%
2
▶ If the readings are outside these limits then this indicates that there
is a problem with the flue system or combustion circuit.

Flue gas analysis

NOTICE
Combustion testing
▶ Combustion testing must be carried out by a competent qualified
person. Testing must not be attempted unless the person carrying
out the combustion check is equipped with a calibrated Flue Gas
Analyser and is competent in its use.
Flue gas analysis
▶ Ensure that the gas inlet pressure has been checked and is
satisfactory.
▶ Refit the test point plugs after the test has been completed.
The flue gas analysis performance of the appliance can be checked via
the flue turret/adaptor sample points.
Refer to figure 37 for the location of the flue gas sample point on flue
turret/adaptor.

The CO and combustion ratio are checked;
• In chimney sweep mode at maximum output.
• In chimney sweep mode at minimum output.
Appliance to maximum output
▶ Set the appliance running at maximum output in chimney sweep
mode ( chapter 7.5 "Chimney sweep mode").
Appliance to minimum output
▶ Set the appliance running at minimum output in chimney sweep
mode ( chapter 7.5 "Chimney sweep mode").
– Allow the appliance to stabilise at minimum output.
Measuring the CO and combustion ratio.
▶ Remove the blanking plug [2 or 3] for the flue gas sample point [1].
▶ Insert the analyser probe into the flue gas sample point [1].
– Ensure that the probe reaches the centre of the flue gas exhaust,
adjust the cone on the probe so that it seals the sample point and
correctly positions the end of the probe.
▶ Check the CO and combustion readings.

Range rating the appliance

The maximum heat output of this boiler can be adjusted to suit the exact
requirements of the building. The process of adjusting the maximum
heat output is commonly referred to as range rating. The new boiler is set
at the maximum output and should be adjusted when it is installed and
commissioned. In accordance with the standards, the declared space
heating efficiency, useful efficiency and NO
range rated boiler are not measured at the maximum output. To achieve
the published efficiency and NO
( chapter , Menu 3 (L.3) Basic settings, Service function 3-b1,
page 32).
