CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoCheck programme P.01 set to 100 (full load), reading taken after 5 minutes at the flue gas analysis point. The check table (7.8.4 and 10.4) says front casing on / front casing off. If outside the check figure, set it to the setting figure (10.5) with the front casing removed, in 1/8 turns, waiting about 1 minute after each. Setting is for Wobbe index 14.09 kWh/m³.
