They're light years ahead of us on energy efficiency, compared to them
in the UK we've only just stopped banging the rocks together:

Apart from their affinity of eating rare and endangered species
('scientific' whaling, bluefin tuna etc etc) they're pretty good IMHO.

The Takagi condensing multi-points, not available in the UK (yet) are "very"
efficient, and can return around 38 litres/min. Instant water heating has
become the norm in Japan now. It is a case of use low energy and store lots
of hot water taking up space, or use a lot of energy all at once, suing most
of the energy available down your gas pipe. They also developed
multi-points that can be installed outside to save space too.

The T-H1 at over 95% efficient and over 30 litres/min flowrate.

You really are a sucker for claims on web sites.

- The so-called 95% efficient is measured on what system? Presumably
a U.S. one? There's an asterisk against the number and they do not say
what the measurement method is. The specs seem to miss out on heat
output to water so one can't even see the story from that.

- If it's the same one as is used in the UK, then I find it very hard
to believe that it is achieving 95% when everything here is achieving
90-91%. If it's the continental European system then the range is
normally in the 106-109% range, and this would be pretty poor.

- Looking at the internal design, the thing has a secondary heat
exchanger and upfiring burner. Hardly leading edge, is it?

- The NG input is 199,000 BTU in deprecated units, or 58kW. This is
virtually the entire output from a domestic supply, leaving no spare
capacity for anything else unless a commercial supply is installed.

- Your claim that it delivers 38lpm is only under the best possible
conditions. This is equivalent to 10 U.S. gallons/min, and from the
graph, this is only achieved for water temperature of 60F (15.5C) in
and 95F (35C) out (hardly hot water is it?) or 70F (21C) in and 105F (
41C) out (tepid). If you look at the rate for a more realistic
figure using the UK defacto standard of dT=35C (8C to 43C) (46F to
109F)then the output is at around 6 US gpm or 23lpm which is not
impressive at all.

No. I know a.lot abouit numbers.

They do a give a table at the end of the manual.

95% efficioency on a scale to 109%, so you can work it out from that.

- If it's the same one as is used in the
UK, then I find it very hard
to believe that it is achieving 95%
when everything here is achieving
90-91%.


You don't have seasonal efficiencies on multi-points, they are rarely on
part load.
90-91 is seasonal effifiencies - SEDBUK.

If it's the continental European system then the range is
normally in the 106-109% range, and this would be pretty poor.

- Looking at the internal design, the thing has a secondary heat
exchanger and upfiring burner. Hardly leading edge, is it?


Yes well the construction is not ferrous, In cheapo condensing boilers the
primary heat exchanger is ferrous and the secondary is not.

- The NG input is 199,000 BTU in deprecated units, or 58kW. This is
virtually the entire output from a domestic supply, leaving no spare
capacity for anything else unless a commercial supply is installed.


Enough for a hob.

You need to look at figures again.

Guess the catalogue fairy visited again?

It would be nice for once to hear of any real world experience you have
with equipment rather than just quoting advertising blurb.

Oh yes - I forgot. About the only practical thing you've mentioned here
was cutting plastic pipe with a hacksaw...

Two Glow Worm 30cxi combis will give 24.6 litres/min @ 35C temp rise and
consume 198 cu foot per hour. And the cost of the two? £1134.92. Great
value, and great performance. Fill a large bath in about 4 minutes.

They do a give a table at the end of the manual.


If you mean the one on pp31, it's a set of data for water flow rates

else?

Oh come off it, even you know that that doesn't fly. The two
systems in use here (SEDBUK and the continental Europe one) are quite
clearly defined. If it's 95% for a condensing boiler on the 109%
efficiency scale, then the figure is crap for this product. I would
be inclined to believe the number because of the archaic secondary
condensor design. Even you have said that regarding boilers sold here
before.

90-91 is seasonal effifiencies - SEDBUK.


Of course. That's why I didn't think for one moment that it would be

normally in the 106-109% range, and this would be pretty poor.

I have. You look again. Remember also that there is a difference
between imperial and U.S. gallons.....

Let's be honest. The product's a piece of junk, isn't it?

A Glow Worm 18SXI, 60,00 btu/hr system boiler = £687
A 300 litre Megaflow Systemfit unvented cylinder complete with valves,
stats, etc = £1515
Total = £2201

No contest. The two condensing combi's win hands down. A saving of £1067,
and never run out of hot water. Great eh!!!

Now put those DO NOT USE labels back on your gas appliances. The ones you

I've often wondered why John is so easily conned by maker's ads and
heavily optimistic specs, given he appears to have a rough idea how such
things should be measured?

Perhaps he's on a mission to misinform?

Certainly if he'd ever installed such things with statements like 'this
will fill your bath with piping hot water in 4 minutes' no one would ever
pay the bill...

106% on "peak" efficiency". All boilers and multi-points can boast peak
efficiencies. My non-condensing Microgenus gives 91% peak, yet sedbuk say
seaonal 80%.

106% on "peak" efficiency". All boilers and multi-points can boast peak
efficiencies. My non-condensing Microgenus gives 91% peak, yet sedbuk say
seaonal 80%.


Stop trying to confuse the story. Your attempt at obfuscation won't
wash. The measurement methods are clearly defined, and
manufacturer's "peak" numbers are not meaningful unless the test
parameters are clearly defined.

How come you have a non-condensing boiler? Would the plume be a
nuisance on the stairwell of the tower block?

The confudion is in your head.

are clearly defined, and manufacturer's

unless the test parameters are clearly

If you know enough you can keep a non-condesning boiloer at "peak"
efficiency. Mating to a heat bank with appropriate controls will do this.

Wrong man here. You should direct them at the inverted, senile, electric
caber tosser who has a thing about sink estates.

Very. Turn on taps and look at watch and water level. Even Einstein could
do that. Boy is this one senile.

But Einstein would have been used to cold baths?

I'm sorry my senility requires things to be defined accurately.

Hope you're senile soon...

Cold bath = cold water
Hot bath = hot water

There you are.

Keep hoping, an eternity away. Do you go the therapy for your condition?

And there you have it - neither defined. Not the temperature of either hot
or cold. Which is where you always go wrong - apart from thinking all
baths are the same size. Would you like to know what temperature means?

BTW - you missed out tepid. Like your baths or showers must be. Unless you
got a pro to design your hot water system.

Yes I know. I was simply mentioning two scales. On the data sheet of
this appliance that you believe to be so great, there is not even a
reference to the measurement method.


One could deduce the output to water from the flow rate figures, but if
the manufacturer can't be bothered to state efficiency methods used then
it's not impressive.

Have you no better way if saying IHGAC ?

- Your claim that it delivers 38lpm is only under the best possible
conditions. This is equivalent to 10 U.S. gallons/min, and from the
graph, this is only achieved for water temperature of 60F (15.5C) in
and 95F (35C) out (hardly hot water is it?) or 70F (21C) in and 105F (
41C) out (tepid). If you look at the rate for a more realistic
figure using the UK defacto standard of dT=35C (8C to 43C) (46F to
109F)then the output is at around 6 US gpm or 23lpm which is not
impressive at all.


You need to look at figures again.


We all have, its crap Dr Combi. Provide the figures that show you
can have a hot bath, preferably a nice pre 1980's one filled at 38
litres a minute with water raised by delta T 35 deg C.

Until then your seedy little Combi lies have been revealed to all the
world.

Just for reference my cold water supply to the bath just measured 16
deg C at 20 litres a minute. The hot water from my "airing cupboard
filling hot water cylinder" filled by a gas guzzling, silicon coated
90.9% SEDBUK boiler (singular) last fired four hours ago is at 65 deg
C filling the bath at 20 litres a minute.

As for mounting a multi point "outside" then on your third world
shanty town estate then that might be acceptable - but won't it get
nicked by the local corgi registered fitter because its better than
anything else in the world - ever?

Dimm aka Drivel is really an unemployed thicko who was using the name
John Burns-Curtis when he first started to infest this newsgroup. Given
that the surname Burns-Curtis is rare to nonexistent in the uk the
hyphen is probably a figment of his imagination like most of his

I'd say he's probably retired from his job as a counter hand at a PM.
Hence the time for all those little jobs for relatives, and the time to
learn up every maker's advertising blurb.

Would account for his interest in the grassy knoll too. These things can
make an impression on a young man.

You might be right. There is after all no reason to suppose he actually
told the truth when he claimed to have been a youth in the 60s/70s.

Didn't make much inpression on me, perhaps I wasn't young enough.
