Vaillant Checked against MI

Vaillant ecoFIT pure 612–630 system (VU 126/6-3, 156/6-3, 186/6-3, 256/6-3, 306/6-3)

System boiler, natural gas

Combustion figures

FigureNatural gas (G20)
CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoAt the flue gas analysis point with check programme P.01 (maximum load), read when stable (about 5 minutes). Both tables are headed Removed front casing/installed front casing. Checking figure from MI 7.11.4 and 11.4; setting figure is CO₂ at full load from MI 11.5, set with the front casing removed. At commissioning (7.11.4) a check value outside the range means don’t start up and inform Customer Service; at a service (11.4) it means set the CO₂.

Maximum CO
More infoHide infoFull load figure from the Setting the CO₂ value table (MI 11.5). The commissioning flowchart in the appendix (MI p. 43) uses CO under 350 ppm and CO/CO₂ ratio under 0.004 at maximum and minimum rate (under 335 ppm after the seals have been checked). The MI doesn’t say which applies, so both are shown.

More infoHide infoFull load figure from MI 11.5. The 0.004 limit is from the commissioning flowchart (MI p. 43). The MI doesn’t say which applies, so both are shown.

Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoAt the measuring nipple on the gas isolator cock, with the boiler at full load and all other gas appliances working (MI 7.11.1). Technical data gives a G20 gas supply pressure of 20.0 mbar. If the pressure is outside the range, don’t adjust or start up the boiler.
Appliance inlet
17.0–20 mbar
Gas rate at maximum
More infoHide infoGas flow at P max. (G20) from the technical data (MI Appendix I). To check at the gas meter (MI 7.10): check programme P.01, front casing fitted, wait at least 5 minutes, all other gas appliances off, then compare with the table by Qnw from the data plate (nominal, +5%, −10%, m³/h): 15.3 kW 1.62, 1.70, 1.46; 18.4 kW 1.95, 2.05, 1.76; 24.7 kW 2.61, 2.74, 2.35; 25.7 kW 2.72, 2.86, 2.45; 28.6 kW 3.03, 3.18, 2.73; 30.6 kW 3.24, 3.40, 2.92; 35.7 kW 3.78, 3.97, 3.40.
