Ferroli’s Bluehelix Hi-Tech RRT condensing boilers are one of the most efficient and sustainable solutions for home heating. Like all condensing boilers the Bluehelix Hi-Tech is designed to achieve maximum energy efficiency by exploiting the heat of exhaust gases that, in an old traditional boiler, would simply be expelled through the chimney. The condensing boiler, is able to recover a significant part of the latent heat present in the exhaust fumes, transforming it into energy useful for heating.

The operating principle of a condensing boiler is based on its ability to condense water vapour in the exhaust fumes, but how does this process occur?

1. Combustion : the boiler burns fuel to generate heat (which can be methane, LPG, diesel).
2. Heat exchange : The heat produced is transferred to the water through a heat exchanger. In a traditional boiler, the hot exhaust fumes, still containing a lot of heat, would be expelled.
3. Condensation : in condensing models, the hot exhaust fumes are cooled until the water vapour contained within them condenses. This condensation process releases further heat, which is recovered and used to heat the water with a consequent saving of fuel and therefore money.
4. Smoke exhaust : the smoke, now at a much lower temperature, is expelled through the chimney.

Advantages of a condensing boiler

The condensation of the water vapour present in the fumes allows you to recover part of the heat produced by combustion that would otherwise be lost through the chimney, making condensing boilers much more efficient than traditional models. This translates into significant energy savings and a reduction in CO2 emissions. In addition to this advantage, there are others: energy savings, eco-sustainability and comfort.

• Energy saving : thanks to their high efficiency, condensing boilers consume less fuel to produce the same amount of heat.
• Eco-Sustainability : less fuel for the same heat produced and therefore lower greenhouse gas emissions for greater environmental protection.
• Comfort : these boilers guarantee uniform and constant heating in the home environment, modulating the boiler power according to the needs of the people and the environment to be heated.

Installation and maintenance of a condensing boiler

Installing a condensing boiler requires some special attention, such as an adequate exhaust system and drainage for condensation water. It is essential to contact a Gas Safe engineer to ensure correct and safe installation. Maintenance is also essential to keep the boiler highly efficient. An annual check is recommended to verify correct operation and prevent any faults, also important with the Bluehelix Hi-Tech to keep your valuable 7 year warranty valid.

Condensing boilers are a smart choice for those who want to reduce heating costs and their environmental impact. Thanks to their high efficiency and modern technologies, they offer superior comfort and significant energy savings.

If you are thinking of replacing your old boiler, a Bluehelix Hi-Tech RRT condensing boiler could be the right investment for you.
