GENERAL

INTRODUCTION

The icos range of boilers are a fully automatically controlled, wall mounted, low water content, balanced flue, fanned, condensing gas boiler. It has full modulating central heating outputs of :

HE12 9.3 kW (32,000 Btu/h) to 12.0 kW (41,000 Btu/h). HE15 8.8 kW (30,000 Btu/h) to 14.6 kW (50,000 Btu/h). HE18 8.8 kW (30,000 Btu/h) to 17.6 kW (60,000 Btu/h). HE24 8.8 kW (30,000 Btu/h) to 23.4 kW (80,000 Btu/h).

Due to the high efficiency of the boiler a plume of water vapour will form at the flue terminal during operation depending on external conditions.

The boiler casing is of white painted mild steel with the user controls capable of being mounted remotely from the boiler, if the option is required.
