Potterton Profile 100e

Who knows the output? I had a search on the web but all the links I tried were for parts suppliers

It is an obsolete, fanned, non-condensing boiler.

Any other comments on it? My mother has one. It seems to be standing up well to the dirty system but I intend to give it a clean and fresh inhibitor.

Who knows the output?

I think the clue may be in the model number.

 

[JohnD]

100 somethings?

 

[giblets]

You're 'avin a larf.

 

[JohnD]

not me

If they are Btu, then my conversion table tells me
Btu (thermo)/hr 0.2928751 watts

so 100 Btu = 29 Watts. No that can't be right. I was expecting an answer somwhere in the region of 30kW. Does it mean 100 thousand Btu?

I know a KWh when I see it, but not a Btu.

You nearly got it right! Decimal point in the wrong place

100000 / 3412 = 29.31 Kw

Thanks!

It happens to be one of the best older boilers that is still going! Keep hold of it as long as you can

Be warned they dont make em like they used to

Thanks!


(p.s. it it really a 100,000 Btu boiler? For a system boiler, is this quite big?)

Nice boilers (apart from being positive pressure case type)

This is the input/output details from the MI.

I agree you can still get all the main bits that go wrong and that aint many.
