HC SERIES BOILERS

HC 13-50, HC 23-84, HC 29-106, HC 33-124, HC 20-125, HC 33-160

5.4.8 Hot Water Does Not Reach Temperature (this section is used with the DC

Series Boilers only)

POSSIBLE CAUSES

SOLUTION

DHW flow to high.

Adjust the inlet assembly, insert a flow restriction.

Temperature setting for water circuit too low.

Adjust the hot water circuit, depending on the desired temperature and

system configuration. See 2.3.4 Table of Programmable Parameters

No heat transfer as a result of lime scale or

fouling in the heat exchanger DHW side.

Descale or flush the exchanger DHW side.

Cold water temperature <5°C.
