Title: Monitoring apparatus for a condensing heater
Inventor: RAY RENNISON
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 2019-10-31
Abstract: A monitoring apparatus 200 for a condensing boiler (100, figure 1) comprises a condensate collector 201 that includes an exhaust gas inlet 203, an exhaust gas outlet 204 and a condensate discharge 206. A pressure measuring system 209 monitors a pressure of an interior 202 of the collector. The system may comprise a pressure measuring device 210 located on a base region 205 of the collector to sense the hydrostatic pressure of condensate. Alternatively, a pressure signal line (214, figures 3-7) – possibly connected to the collector via an immersion pipe (220, figures 4-6) or a pressure measuring chamber (217, figure 7) – may communicate with a pressure switch 213 to determine pressure. The switch may also be connected to ambient or a combustion air intake 107 of the boiler. In the event of blockage downstream of the condensate discharge, condensate builds up in the collector and an increase in pressure is sensed by the system. Where used, the pressure signal line is ideally of smaller diameter than the immersion pipe or pressure measuring chamber to improve sensitivity to pressure increases in the collector caused by rising levels of condensate. A condensing heater with a pressure measuring system is also claimed.
