What should the thermal head temperature be on a Ferroli boiler?
The thermal head temperature must be less than 20° C and it can be achieved by varying pump flow rate and the thermal head by using the multi-speed switch on the pump head. Increasing the pump speed reduces the thermal head temperature and the same way round. The minimum difference should be bigger than 11°C.
How does the thermostat work on a Ferroli boiler?
The thermostat will automatically control boiler operation with the regards to the heating output, it will also interrupt temporairly the electrical supply to meet the thermostat heat requirements. All Ferroli models are equipped with the LCD display that helps in fault finding.
