can we change to a combi?

DD, I don't care what some jumped up penpushing suit in Europe says, if you want to be suckered into that nonsense

That is how they do it. If you don't believe them that is up to you. But when you see efficiencies quoted of over 100%, post back and thank me for telling you why.

I know that is how some European boiler manufacturers calculate their efficiencies, I have known this for years, I can guarantee that I have been installing condensing boilers long before you even knew about them, but the figure of over 100% that some use does not make them right, it is simply a marketing ploy that relies on suckers like you.

You really don't know - it was clear you had never heard of the 109% scale. . It is used to give a direct comparison to older boilers. If a 10-15 year old non-condensing boiler was rated at 80% on the sensible heat only scale using the 109% scale gives a direct comparison. Get it? Clever people these Europeans.

Please, do you think you are the only one who has heard of boiler manufacturers claiming efficiencies of over 100%, it is only suckers like you that pay attention to nonsense like that, the rest of us carry on with the real world.
Marketing people must love you, I bet you believe everything you see or read.

As said you didn't know how an why. Now you do so stop digging a hole for yourself. Just say, "thanks Doctor Drivel I didn't know that". Much easier that way.

DD, try looking at www.boilers.org.uk you will see that the UK work within the 100% spectrum, they do not go into fantasy land.

As I said you didn't know but keep digging a deeper hole. Best be quiet.

You really are dim, the over 100% claims have been around since condensing technology began, I have been involved with condensing technology for many years and have been aware of this form of calculating efficiencies, but as I live in the real world I have always used the correct scale of within 100% when quoting efficiencies of boilers to customers.
You carry on believing the suckers form of calculating efficiencies, just don't bore the reste of us with your drivel

As I said you clearly haven't a clue why it is used. Slapping a boiler in the wall doesn't mean you know condensing technology - as is all too often the case with the "plumbers" who spout loud and long here.

I fully understand why some European manufacturers use the over 100% method, but we live in the UK the procedure here SEDBUK is within the 100% bracket.

I fully understand condensing boilers, I do not simply slap boilers on the wall, I design and install efficient heating systems I have loads of satisfied customers, what actually is your field of work, I design and install heating and hot water systems in new build houses, so what do you do to make you think you can preach to me.
 
Unusually billy bob, may I offer you some constructive advice, just ignore drivel and his drivel, all he does is search the internet and read instructions. He has never even seen any boiler he talks about let alone fitted one or commissioned it.

Save your breath, he is just a wind up idiot who is dangerous to posters on here who may be stupid enough to listen to him. He does not understand the difference between nett and gross efficiencies as we do.

He changes his mind on what he says more times than I drink pints of lager, you should see the size of my beer belly :eek: :LOL:

I will take your advice, thank you

Heat pumps work on the priciple that for every 1kW of electricity used to power the heat pump, the heat pump will produce 4kW of heat, the physics are different as the two work in completely different ways

I understand that. :D
As I have already stated I am talking about LATENT HEAT or to use the more modern term " Enthalpy of Transformation".

Yes, but the latent heat in a condensing boiler has been produced by the boiler within its specified capacity, the boiler simply catches this latent heat and extract most of the heat from it, I say most as some still goes out the flue, but this heat is still from the heat that the boiler produced, the fact that a small amount of this heat escapes out of the flue proves that the boiler has to be less than 100% efficient 95%-98%


So this is a load of rubbish in the following link compiled by Viessmann then......... ?.

As I have already said, I know how they come to these figures, but they are not accurate, the flue gasses are heat that was created by the boiler, what they are claiming is the boiler fires and heats the water to 98% of it efficiency, it then claims that the flue gasses that accounts for 2% of the heat that is left according to their figures, all of a sudden changes to 11%, where do they get this figure from, they call the flue gasses additional energy, it is not additional, it is heat that was created by the boiler, the fact that some heat goes out of the flue proves that the boiler cannot be working to even 100%, no heat could be lost from the heat transfer to acheive 100% efficiency. this brocure would of come from a German translation, that may be how they do it in Europe but in the UK we work to SEDBUK

There are no other suckers like Drivel - his type of sucking is quite unique. :D

Have to disagree there softus, as you know yourself watersystems sucking technique is identical to drivel's. Perhaps they're boyfriends or something. :eek:
 
I think you might be reading too much into the phenomenon of coincidence, sooey.

Just because Doctor Drivel had a nine-month posting break, then started up barely again two days after Water Systems' final post, it doesn't mean that the same person is behind both member names.

Or does it?
 
I suppose you're right, it's probably just me being cynical. Lets face it if they were boyfriends they would have bored each other to death long ago.
