Just want to say, I'm a third year mechanical engineering student looking into a project to optimise condensing boiler efficiency. I had experience with heat exchangers but no experience specifically with boiler. Your video and the images contained within it were very helpful to help explain and understand condensing boilers very quickly. Cheers

Brillant just the info I needed. I searched for ages to find the inlet and outlet pipes. Thank you.

Hey I know you posted this like almost a decade ago, but just as several of other viewers I too wanted to say, it was a very good educational video. really helped me with my studies understand condensing boilers and the mechanisms that make them more efficient.
Thanks.

Thanks for making this video of how a conventional boiler works and breaking it down and simplifying the process of how heat transfers step by step....and also the difference between both conventional and combi boilers and the process of heat transfer within a heat exchanger which I found very interesting....Cheers

A super informative video.
Great way of demonstrating how my new boiler works as opposed to my old one.

Great Videos Love the way he explaines everything so clearly Give that man a medal

i study all youtube videos every day and i love learning from them but i have to say i rate you, r videos for plumbing as the best on youtube from a 68year old pensioner

I have been reading my uni books to revise these bits, 6 minute video with your explanation and I get it straight away. Thanks, really appreciate it! :) Excellent tutorial!

Maaan this was so good. I’m studying to become a gas engineer and this really helped me understand the ins and outs. Great video 👍🏻

Thank you James. A succinct and straightforward explanation. The boiler you showed was oil fired and the heat exchange/condenser looked to be made principally from cast iron. Modern condensing gas boilers are obviously a lot smaller and lighter and presumably made from other metals. How does the heat exchange/condenser differ in its construction and the way it works?

Thanks.

In my 10+ years being gsr I've never worked on an outdoor boiler. Great simple explanation Jimbo 👍

[Cogibear]

Nice video with great explanations etc. I would just add to it a little and explain to the non technical people watching that the energy and money saving advantage of this boiler comes from the fact that the boiler needs to work less to get the water up to flow temperature. Hence the efficiency level being greater than a normal boiler. The key element is get one because it saves lots of oil (therefore money) when heating your home and water.

[Shawshank]

Solid explanation. Loved the part where you disassembled and showed the boiler components.

[edwarddevon]

You really are a very helpful chap. Very knowledgeable . I have a condenser boiler. I'm going to watch this again for more help. Thanks!

[KilkennyLights]

Cheers. Nice video. Frank with 30 year old boiler that is driving me nuts. Its getting the bin. Feckin thing. Thank you for your help.

That's an awesome breakdown, I realise this is an old video but how to I maintain one myself? I have a firebird silverhouse. I'd like to keep it clean and replace the little PH converter for the condense run off.

[AlanCooney]

Thanks for very interesting video. Also, thanks for NOT putting bad background music on like some other Youtubers seem to do.

[royharkins]

Watching for the sheer joy of learning, clever stuff fascinating 😊

[Thomaskuzhiyil]

Excellent. Very clear narration.Thanks for your efforts.

You might consider studying a faster feed of the water going through the condenser section (impeller then reduction) just to pick up as much heat as possible. (Rather then just trying to make the current set up more efficient)
