Default High return temperature on condensing boiler CH

Hi,

My boiler shows the return temperature of the CH on its display.
Earlier today it was showing 75(C) which seems very hot. As it is a
condensing boiler won't this mean it is operating outside its
condensing mode?


Steam starts to condense at 100C.
Most of it will have condensed at 75C.


I had heard that the flue gasses had to be below 55C to get the full
benefit of the condensing mode.

I read the following on several web sites:
"It is only possible for a condensing boiler to work to these very
high efficiencies if the flow and return pipework is also kept below
55°C."
