Glow-worm Checked against MI

Glow-worm EASICOM 3 combi (24c, 28c)

Combi, natural gas

Combustion figures

FigureNatural gas (G20)
CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoCheck programme P.01 set to 100, read after 5 minutes at the flue gas analysis point, front casing on or off. The checking tables (MI 7.9.5 and 11.4) give 9.2 ±1 %; the setting table (MI 11.5) gives CO₂ at full load 9.2 ±0.2 %. If the check is out, set it to the setting figure (MI 11.5).
Checking

Setting
9.2 ±0.2 %
CO₂ at low rate
Not given in MI
Maximum CO
More infoHide infoCO at full load, from the setting table (MI 11.5). The Benchmark combustion chart (Appendix I) uses less than 350 ppm at maximum and minimum rate, and its side box says less than 335 ppm.
≤ 250 ppm
CO/CO₂ ratio
More infoHide infoFrom the setting table (MI 11.5), at full load. The Benchmark combustion chart (Appendix I) uses less than 0.004 at maximum and minimum rate.
≤ 0.0027
O₂ at high rate

4.5 ±1.8 vol. %
O₂ at low rate
Not given in MI
Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoMI gives 1.7 ... 2 kPa (17.0 ... 20 mbar), G20, at the measuring nipple on the gas isolator cock, with the boiler at full load in check programme P.01 (with eBUS controller) or P.03 (without). Technical data gives G20 gas supply pressure 20 mbar.
Appliance inlet
17.0–20 mbar
Gas rate at maximum
More infoHide infoGas flow at P max., hot water (G20), from the technical data. MI 7.9.1 also has a table of gas rates by Qnw on the data plate, measured at the meter (nominal, +5% and −10%).

Check these figures against the MI for the appliance in front of you, matched by GC number and manual date. Combustion work needs a calibrated analyser and a Gas Safe registered engineer.
