Hi all I'm after a little advice...
Today i ID'd a boiler because the plume was flooding into the building through the open door, not a wisp the whole lot. I only went to move a 1.5m run of gas pipe, that a previous engineer had installed in the wrong place only last week, may I add he did not even turn in the boiler after doing this work let alone do any of 26.9....
was as a condensing ideal icos 15 that had been shoed in buy some clown.
anyway i I fired it up checked it all and when I opened the back door the poc just poured in, flue was 500mm from the door and about 900mm from the floor, was gas tight correct o/p etc etc and ok combustion readings - CO was 18ppm.
Anyway i continued testing the boiler and as the wind changed the plume entry got worse - so I capped the gas. Customer obviously not happy... Then I get a phone call from an engineer, the engineer who fitted the original gas pipe and failed to turn on the boiler explaining about room a co test which I already know about bla bla bla, which I'm not qualified to do what I did know though was that the co leaving the boiler was 18ppm and the whole lot was entering property.
I explained to to the customer that the rules say about 10ppm and rising but I can't do a room co test, I don't have that module on my ticket however it's poring in and I believe it's dangerous.
So I still stand by what I say, the un commissioning engineer agreed this but now customer is saying boiler should have been left on, and they would not open the door.... I explained about saftey and how regardless the door could be opened and explained that a plume kit would solve the problem - what else can I say?
Thanks in advance guys.
