What is a Heat Exchanger

Boiler Heat Exchangers Explained? A heat exchanger transfers heat from one fluid to another, hence its name. In the case of a boiler, heat is transferred from the gas being burned to the water that will circulate throughout your home. Gas boilers burn gas, which subsequently heats up and rises towards the heat exchanger that the cold water passes through. As the water circulates, the heat is transferred from the gas to the water, which subsequently heats up to heat your radiators or provide hot water for a storage tank. Condensing and non-condensing boiler heat exchangers As mandated in the nation's legislation, all brand-new boiler systems are required to be condensing since they're considerably more energy-efficient than their non-condensing counterparts. This is due to condensing boiler systems having twice as many heat exchangers inside them than their non-constricting counterparts, so they have the capacity to capture and reuse heat from processed gases.  Non-condens

Gas Safety Regulations

Guide to the Gas Safety Regulations For the sake of ensuring safety, regulations were established by the Gas Safety Regulations 1998 in order to prevent accidents caused by gas boilers. Why are these regulations important? The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 are the most current version of the Gas Safety regulations , all of which exist to ensure the safety of all gas boilers. One crucial point to take away from these regulations is that the only person who may install, service, repair, or replace a gas boiler is a Gas Safe licensed engineer. What do these regulations cover? Safe installation and safe use of the boiler are all part of regulatory standards for gas boilers. Engineers are generally expected to follow these rules, but it is important for homeowners to understand them as well. A safe installation Your Gas Safe registered engineer is tasked with ensuring your gas boiler is installed safely and in a suitable manner. As a result, the gas boiler must
