Condensate question

[jacobball]

Hiya all

Just a quick question - in a condensing boiler, how does the condense from the flue get into the condensate trap/siphon? Does it fall back in via a tube in the flueway or is there other methods?

I was thinking about this and just wondered how it was collected?


Thanks for your kind help

The condensation comes from the flue gasses that have cooled. The flue that goes outside points up slightly so that any condensation collected in it runs back inside the boiler.
