2.1    Description of the Boiler

The Navien NFC boiler is available in 2 models: NFC-175 and  

NFC-200.

The main features are as follows:

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Lightning Protection: Each boiler is specially grounded, both 

internally and externally, to protect against lightning strikes.

 

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 air ratio control module.

 

Auto Fan Detection: The rotation of the fan is automatically 

detected and controlled. Fan failure will stop the operation of 

the boiler.

 

Boiling Prevention: Excessive temperatures will automatically 

stop the boiler.
