CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGER CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGER 5 .1 Function The Condensing heat exchanger "A" in Figure 5.1 has the func- tion of transferring heat produced from combustion of the gas and from the flue exhausted gas to the water circulating in it. Figure 5 .1 By reducing the combustion products temperature, the latent heat of the vapour is transferred to the water circuit, allowing an extra gain of useful heat.

MAIN ELECTRONIC CONTROL/IGNITION P.C.B. MAIN ELECTRONIC CONTROL/IGNITION The fundamental function of the Main electronic control/ignition P .C .B . p.c.b. is that of controlling the boiler in relation to the external needs (i.e. heating the dwelling or heating the water for D.H.W. 9 .1 Function use) and operating in order to keep the temperature of the hy- draulic circuits constant.
MAIN ELECTRONIC CONTROL/IGNITION P.C.B. Normally, the result of the comparison between these two signals directly operates the fan speed adjusting the useful output gen- erated in order to stabilize the temperature of the exiting water. If during the D.H.W. mode operation, the temperature of the pri- mary circuit goes over 90°C, the useful output is automatically reduced so that the primary circuit cannot reach excessive tem- peratures.
