Three-way valve view:
The boiler is fitted with an automatic bypass and a non-return valve, with an opening
threshold of 400 mb ar. In the event of system load losses due to intervention of the
thermostatic valve, the bypass ensures a minimum flow inside the primary exchanger.
Its job is to prevent the primary condensing heat exchanger from overheating caused by
low or no water circulation.
