In order to meet the Kyoto agreement we must reduce our level of Carbon Dioxide emissions.  One of the quickest and most beneficial ways is to fit a condensing boiler, as this will reduce emissions by 15%.  The Government has modified Building Regulations through Part L to make the fitting of a  condensing boiler mandatory in England and Wales from April 2005, in all gas installations.

By linking the boiler to a twin coiled cylinder also served by a solar collector these carbon emissions will be reduced even further.  This will also reduce total fuel costs and extend the longevity of the boiler

Approximately 20% of the products of combustion is steam, this steam leaves the flue at temperatures in the region of 200°c on a standard efficiency boiler and is invisible.  The larger surface area of heat exchanger in a condensing boiler will utilise this latent heat and the steam will therefore cool down and condense into a liquid.  

The condensate is not harmful.  It has a ph value of 4.5 which makes it similar to lemon juice, therefore mildly acidic.

Depending on boiler output and return water temperature, a condensing boiler will produce between 0.5 and 1 litre of condensate per hour.  Boilers are fitted with a condensate pipe which  can be linked into a sink waste, soil pipe or outside gully.  It can also be fitted into a soakaway.
