Or been involved in too many post apocalyptic scenarios, but seriously investigating system breakdowns does make one ( over ) cautious about the risks and results of component failures.
Intergas...but which...

Earlier in this thread hard-work said if you have nothing to contribute to it don't post. No surprise then that both he and Bernard ignored that.

About the Intergas. On DHW only it is quite inefficient to others. It can be used as a multi-point only. I wonder what the flow rate would be by passing fresh wwater through both heat exchangers. Piping them up in series. Water through the return connection of the copper CH heat exchanger first, out and then into the DHW coil. The flowrate must improve substantially.
Mr Robinson, it would not be silly at all and would work perfectly. The DHW only transfer is poor anyhow at 13 litres per minute. It could not be any worse, if anything it would be a hell of a lot better. The flowrate would clearly improve. Use the 40 kW model and it should exceed a Rinnai multi-point's flowrate and a lot cheaper to buy.
The makers would not honour it of course, but this "bombproof" heat exchanger can handle it for sure.

Or you could just buy the new water heater that Intergas are not far off launching 
Hmmm is it?
Are you aware it's rated at 95.8% efficiency for hot water?
How many boilers are more efficient??
I wonder how efficient the one with the built in recovery unit is - or perhaps I already know
You just keep embarrassing yourself
If the sensor cannot fail then why do Intergas make spares available ?
I think I did mention that if there is a semi-conductor device in the sensor then that semi-conductor device might fail in either the ON or the OFF state.
Rated by who and under what conditions ?. Running the hot water for 10 minutes continuously or just running it for short periods long enough to draw a litre of hot water from the tap with a period between each draw that is long enough for the thermal mass of the heat exchanger to cool down before it has to be heated again for the next draw off.
Hmmm resorting to trying to change the context again Bernie. Dan never said they didn't fail because anything mechanical can, he implied they fail SAFE. Not sure how a Hall effect sensor could fail in such a way that it continues to send pulses, they don't have epileptic fits as far as I'm aware??

If you don't agree perhaps you should complain to the ASA about Intergas' false advertising. The boiler was tested at Appledore the same as every other manufacturer
Come on guys, this isn't even a challenge
