    Sabre 35 he plume kit question

    You've probably got the older metal flue but the add-ons I believe should still work. Vokera part 20142842 plume kit or 20142841 45 degree plume diverter. Tell her the flue consists of CO2 that plants convert to O2 and H2O which plants need to survive. The condensate is slightly acidic so...

    Flue pipe removal

    I would say I have no doubt that flue is asbestos. Depending on your local authority they may accept it double-bagged and sealed at the local tidy tip, some will not and reject it out of hand. You need to wet it, remove it without breaking it or creating dust then use the correctly labelled bags...

    Urgent boiler replacement

    Personal opinion: keep cylinder existing or replaced, flush heating system, if there isn't an immersion heater in the cylinder take the opportunity to get one fitted, replace boiler, straight swap, easy. Any boiler is 20% hydrogen at the moment and hydrogen is currently being injected into the...

    Diverter valve cartridge vokera unica 28he

    Parts do have a habit of changing numbers. Ring spares but I think you have the second version. The cartridge you see for the Lines One is the same across the ranges, they might give a different number but I'm sure that's the one.

    I hope you'll bear with us otherwise we're swapping between threads to find older posts.

    It's tricky to set up weather com because of the above and there are calculations made on the weather data gthat slow things down. I think I'll simply lock the boiler stat to 45 and restrict the flow through the boiler to raise the return temp because if the return is cold then the boiler just...

    I just did a couple of videos, one with and one without WC but I can't emulate a house ticking over. Our test rigs get rid of the heat through a plate heat exchanger so it's like a range rated 8kW combi trying to heat hot water therefore the return is so low the boiler is always running at an...

    Large bore, no cross welds or manifolds or constrictions. The retarder makes it 2 pass and ensures the flue gases engulf the whole of the tube, throughout it's length.

    Boiler Cycling

    Look at the book to see if there's an adjustable anti-cycle delay, if so, lengthen it. Also check to see whether the boiler can be range-rated (heating output reduced from maximum (you might need an engineer to do this).

    Ignition speed at firing to ensure reliable ignition (higher than minimum) then it rapidly modulates down dependant on the flow and return thermistor readings. Once alight the fan speed can reduce but ignition has to be reliable. Fan speed determines output and that will not rise above 60% of...

    Both the software and heat exchanger are different between the Vision S and the Vibe Max. The latest software starts the boiler at 60% of the range rated output and that’s the max for 15 minutes. In that time the flow temperature will modulate but the max output is capped. If demand...
