The condensing boiler precis

A condensing boiler is a high efficiency modern boiler that integrates an extra heat exchanger in order that the hot waste air transfer much of their energy to pre warm the water in the boiler system. When running at maximum efficiency, the water vapour produced in the burning process distills back into a liquid releasing the latent heat of vaporisation.

A side effect is that this water, refered to as condensate, which is typically acidic, needs to be piped outside to a waste pipe or water drain. The boiler will have to be placed against a wall and the output gases will travel through the flue. Hot water is provided by a small storage tank to facilitate convenient and rapid hot water .

What size of Boiler do I need?

In earlier times boiler installers filled bigger boilers than were needed. Whilst this meant that there was no possibility of the boiler failing to meet the requirement for heat, without any care for icy weather, it also meant that they were not working a full yield, and so running below their utmost efficiency. If you have bettered the energy efficiency of your household since the current boiler was fitted in your house, it is highly likely that you will need a humbler boiler than before.

We advocate seeking professional advice from a CORGI registered installer before selecting a suitable substitute boiler.

Do the radiators need to be oversized with a condensing boiler?

The main driver for smaller fuel consumption from a condensing boiler comes from having a bigger heat exchanger. Larger radiators would allow lower return temperatures, and so result in even better energy performance, but the extra benefit has not been regarded as cost effective, as you need to remember that that the system is is only using a small part of its total capacity for the greater part of the wintertime. That probably remains true, though the reduced heating demand for new build may well mean that householders would now tolerate over-sized radiators more willingly.

The process we have talked over was integrated in the set up instructions for the SEDBUK project, and had a look at the recommendations for condensing boilers. The decision was that they need not, and the test results forthe condensing and the existing boilers use the same SEDBUK formula.
