CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGER CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGER 5 .1 Function The Condensing heat exchanger "1" 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.
CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGER 5 .3 Cleaning If there are deposits of dirt on the coil of the Condensing heat exchanger, clean with a bristle paintbrush and remove the dust with a hoover. Warning: After cleaning or replacement as detailed above, it is deemed necessary to undertake a com- bustion analysis as detailed in chapter "11 .3 Adjust- ment - Chimney Sweep Function"...
