TECHNICAL INFORMATION Technical information Description of the boiler The Max-3 plus boiler is a three pass design. The flue gases flow from the cylindrical combustion chamber into the water cooled reversing elbows and through the second pass compartment into the front reversing chamber. The th- ird pass compartment comprises a bank of special dimpled Rillenrohre tubes through which the flue gases are con- ducted to the flue gas collector.
