About the Boiler

2.1    Description of the Boiler

The Navien NFC-H boiler is available in 2 models: 
NFC-250/175H and NFC-250/200H.

The main features are as follows:

 

Ɣ

Power Interruption: When the power is restored 
after a power failure, the boiler will automatically 
start and return to normal operation. A manual 
reset is not required.

 

Ɣ

Freeze Protection: A sensor inside the boiler 
automatically detects the temperature and, 
if necessary, initiates a safety heating cycle to 
prevent internal equipment damage due to 
freezing temperatures.

 

Ɣ

Short-Circuit Protection: Any short-circuit 
occurring in the boiler’s electrical circuit 
immediately blows the internal glass fuses and 
automatically cuts off the gas supply.

 

Ɣ

Lightning Protection: Each boiler is specially 
grounded, both internally and externally, to 
protect against lightning strikes.

 

Ɣ

Carbon Monoxide Protection: The boiler is 
designed to maintain a safe air-to-gas ratio and 
combustion rate. This function is continuously 
monitored by the boiler’s combustion controls.

 

Ɣ

Auto Fan Detection: The rotation of the fan is 
automatically detected and controlled. Fan failure 
will stop the operation of the boiler.

 

Ɣ

Boiling Prevention: Excessive temperatures will 
automatically stop the boiler.
