Combustion figures

FigureNatural gas (G20)
CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoPrinted as 9.0 + 0.3 – 0.2 (% maximum), the same for all three sizes, in Tab.23 and in Setting the gas valve (MI 9.3.12). Case front panel fitted. Set in calibration mode, display 100.
9.0% + 0.3 – 0.2
CO₂ at low rate
More infoHide infoPrinted as 8.5 + 0.1 – 0.4 (% minimum), the same for all three sizes, in Tab.23 and in Setting the gas valve (MI 9.3.12). Display 0 at minimum rate.
8.5% + 0.1 – 0.4
Maximum CO
More infoHide infoChecked at both maximum and minimum rate (MI Fig.47 Combustion procedure).
< 350 ppm
CO/CO₂ ratio
More infoHide infoChecked at both maximum and minimum rate (MI Fig.47). MI 9.1 and 9.3.12 also say it must be less than 0.004.
< 0.004
O₂
More infoHide infoThe MI gives O₂ only for the flue integrity check at the air inlet test point (see Flue integrity).
Not given in MI
Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoFrom MI Fig.43. At the meter: 19–23 mbar. MI 7.4.1: with the boiler at maximum rate, the working pressure at the gas inlet test point (A) must be at least 18 mbar. Fault finding (MI Fig.73) gives a minimum of 17 mbar at the gas valve.
Appliance inlet
18–22 mbar
Gas valve test point

Gas rate at maximum
More infoHide infoNatural gas (G20), with all other appliances and pilot lights off (MI 7.4.1 Tab.22; also Tab.8).
