12.0 CHANGING COMPONENTS
12.21 Plate Heat Exchanger (Fig. 67)
1. Drain the primary circuit.
2. While supporting the heat exchanger undo the
screws securing it to the brass manifolds.
3. Withdraw the heat exchanger upwards and to the
left of the gas valve, taking care not to damage any
wires or controls.
Seals
4. There are four rubber seals between the manifolds
and heat exchanger which may require replacement.
5. Ease the seals out of the manifolds. Replace
carefully, ensuring that when the seal is inserted into
the manifold it is parallel and pushed fully in.
6. When fitting the new heat exchanger note that the
left hand location stud is offset towards the centre
more than the right hand one.
7. Reassemble in reverse order.
12.22 Diverter Valve Assembly
(Figs. 68 & 69)
The diverter valve assembly comprises of a central
heating pressure differential valve and a domestic hot
water pressure differential valve. These are
connected to a manifold which is joined to the plate
heat exchanger.
DHW Pressure Differential Valve Diaphragm
(Figs. 68 & 69)
1. Turn off the mains water inlet tap and drain the
domestic hot water by turning on a hot tap.
2. Prise off the spring clip retaining the microswitch.
Pull the switch away.
3. Undo the sensing pipe nut from the valve and
slacken the nut at the inlet manifold. Ease the pipe
away from the valve.
4. Undo the screws securing the differential valve
cover.
5. Carefully draw off the cover and remove the
diaphragm, noting the orientation.
6. Fit the new diaphragm and reassemble in reverse
order.
