The appliance thus meets the European

 

Directory for Gas Appliances and is

 

therefore entitled to carry the CE-

 

marking. It is an open flued appliance

draught safeguard (category

 

B11BS). The water heater is suitable for a maximum working pressure of 8 bar. The water-heater tank is manufactured from low carbon sheet steel and is glass-lined on the inside. In addition the tank is fitted with a sacrificial anode as an extra protection against corrosion.

Athick PU-insulation layer covered in a steel jacket reduces unnecessary heat loss. When the appliance is filled with water it continuously is under water pressure.

As hot water is drained from the tank, cold water is added immediately. A flue baffle has been placed in the flue tube to improve heat transfer. The flue gasses pass their heat on to the water by means of radiation and convection. The flue gasses are guided to the chimney via the draught diverter. The exhaust of the flue gasses is realized by natural thermal draught (see Figure 1).

Dead legs on a hot water installation are undesireable. Where possible they should be avoided. Where the inclusion on the system of a dead leg is unavoidable the following restrictions should be applied:

-for pipes not exceeding 19 mm. inside diameter; maximum lengh of dead leg permitted 12.0 metres;

-for pipes exceeding 19 mm. but not
