Combustion figures

FigureNatural gas (G20)
CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoFrom Setting the gas valve (MI 10.3.11), maximum rate in Chimney Sweep mode. The MI says there must always be a difference of 0.4% between the maximum and minimum CO₂ readings.
9.3% ±0.1%
CO₂ at low rate
More infoHide infoFrom Setting the gas valve (MI 10.3.11), minimum rate in Chimney Sweep mode.
8.9% ±0.1%
Maximum CO
More infoHide infoAt both maximum and minimum rate, at the flue gas test point (combustion check flow chart, MI 7.4.2).
< 350 ppm
CO/CO₂ ratio
More infoHide infoAt both maximum and minimum rate (MI 7.4.2). Technical data (MI 3.1) words it as up to a maximum of 0.004; MI 7.4.2, 10.1 and 10.3.11 say less than 0.004.

Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoAt the gas meter: 19–23 mbar. Checked with the boiler at maximum rate; the text says at least 17 mbar at the valve and 18 mbar at the gas cock (MI 7.5.1, Fig. 41). Technical data gives a nominal dynamic inlet pressure of 20 mbar.
