7.6
Flue gas temperature
This temperature varies in relation to the delivery generated: the
lower the delivery, the lower the temperature and the higher the
fuel saving.
7.7
Combustion chamber pressure
This must correspond to the setting indicated by the boiler man-
ufacturer.
Chamber pressure is lowered with reduced burner delivery and
higher CO
levels.

Loss of heat from the flue

Bear in mind that excessive temperature reduction, however,
gives rise to the formation of condensate.
If the combustion chamber pressure is significantly higher than
expected and the burner's delivery is correct, make sure that the
boiler is not dirty, that the flue gas duct is not obstructed, and that
the flue gas stack has been correctly sized.
