Combustion figures

FigureNatural gas (G20)
CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoFrom Setting the Gas Valve (MI 10.3.11), probe in the flue sampling point. The MI does not say whether the case should be on or off for this check. There must always be a difference of 0.4% between the maximum and minimum CO₂ readings.
9.3% ±0.1%
CO₂ at low rate
More infoHide infoRe-check both maximum and minimum if any adjustment has been made.
8.9% ±0.1%
Maximum CO
More infoHide infoApplies at both maximum and minimum rate (commissioning flow chart, MI 7.4.2).
< 350 ppm
CO/CO₂ ratio
More infoHide infoAt both maximum and minimum rate (MI 7.4.2, 10.1 and 10.3.11). The Technical Data table (MI 3.1) words it as up to a maximum of 0.004.
< 0.004
O₂
More infoHide infoThe MI gives O₂ only for the flue integrity check at the air inlet.
Not given in MI
Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoAt the gas meter: 19–23 mbar. Checked at maximum rate; the text says at least 17 mbar at the valve and 18 mbar at the gas cock. Nominal dynamic inlet pressure 20 mbar (MI 3.1). Permissible pressure drop across system pipework ≤ 1 mbar.
