Glow-worm Checked against MI

Glow-worm Glow-worm Energy combi (ENERGY 25c, 30c, 35c -A (H-GB))

Combi, natural gas

Combustion figures

FigureNatural gas (G20)
CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoG20 natural gas, after 5 minutes in full load mode (check programme P.01), measured at the flue gas analysis point. Case on means front casing closed; case off means front casing removed. The CO₂ is set with the front casing removed (MI 7.15). Set for Wobbe index W₀ 15 kWh/m³.
Case on
9.2% ± 1.0
Case off
9.0% ± 1.0
CO₂ at low rate
Not given in MI
Maximum CO
More infoHide infoThe manual gives two figures. Section 7.14 gives CO in full load mode ≤ 250 ppm. The combustion chart (Appendix J) checks for CO less than 350 ppm at maximum and minimum rate, and its recheck box after checking seals says less than 335 ppm.
MI 7.14 (full load)
≤ 250 ppm
Combustion chart (max and min rate)
less than 350 ppm
CO/CO₂ ratio
More infoHide infoThe manual gives two figures: section 7.14 gives ≤ 0.0031; the combustion chart (Appendix J) gives less than 0.004 at maximum and minimum rate.
MI 7.14
≤ 0.0031
Combustion chart (max and min rate)
less than 0.004
O₂
Not given in MI
Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoPermissible connection pressure for Great Britain, natural gas G20, measured at the measuring nipple on the gas valve with check programme P.01 running (MI 7.13). The maintenance table says to check it at maximum heat input. Technical data gives G20 gas supply pressure 2.0 kPa.
Gas valve test point
1.7–2.5 kPa
Gas rate at maximum
More infoHide infoG20 gas flow at P max. in hot water and heating mode (Technical data). Gas flow at P min.: 25c 0.540, 30c 0.646, 35c 0.762 m³/h.
25c
Hot water 2.7 m³/h, heating 1.9 m³/h
30c
Hot water 3.2 m³/h, heating 2.7 m³/h
35c
Hot water 3.8 m³/h, heating 2.7 m³/h
Flue integrity
More infoHide infoAt the air analysis (air inlet) test point, boiler at maximum rate (MI 7.12 and combustion chart, Appendix J).
O₂ ≥ 20.6%
CO₂ < 0.2%

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.
