Hmmm. Preparing for "compulsory" replacement condensing boilers

Does the graph on http://www.keston.co.uk/products/celsius25.htm help?

Interesting, but 100% efficiency at 20C could do with some explanation.


There's a better graph at

http://www.keston.co.uk/downloads/pdf/cel25-b.pdf

showing the knee in the efficiency curve at the dew point and the
resulting increased rate of change with temperature.

They should have probably dotted the curve below about 25-30 degrees,
since that is generally about the minimum modulated down temperature
in steady state.

It's also possible that they have included the latent heat in the
figures...
