Fan and Air box

ture of air and gas into the burner.
The function of the Air box B is to mix the gas and the
air in the right proportion.
The flow rate of the air---gas mixture and consequently
the input power of the boiler is proportional to the speed
of the fan that is controlled by the electronic control
