The PFGHRD is an integral part of the flue system 

and as such should be fitted in accordance with 

the manufacturer's flue instructions.

 

Product description

The PFGHRD (Passive Flue Gas Heat Recovery 

Device) is designed as a complimentary energy 

saving system that can be connected to a 

condensing combination boiler. This appliance 

recovers latent energy from flue gases produced 

by condensing combination boilers. The energy 

from flue gases is used to preheat incoming 

domestic cold water. The PFGHRD heat exchanger 

increases domestic hot water efficiency and 

therefore reduces gas consumption, CO

2

 

emissions and waste of sanitary water.

The PFGHRD is included in SAP Appendix Q, under 

Passive Flue Gas Heat Recovery Devices.
