Y plan System description



Ideal Logic Heat 12 (heat only) Type 41-399-99 s/n XV20583700014230

Drayton LP722 2 channel timer/prog

Drayton mid position valve

Corgi room stat

Iflo 3 terminal cylinder stat

Danfoss circ pump



All the external components have been individually checked and tested and all are working to specification

All Wiring via the central connection center (junction box), has been checked to Ideal installation spec and individual component spec and is correct and in good condition





Fault



Call for CH only- display changes from 0 to c (with room stat not satisfied)

It is approx 10 seconds from CH call on programmer before boiler display changes from 0 to c, indicating the mid valve position has moved to appropriate position and has sent out the switched Live – orange to the boiler SL terminal

The boiler burner indicator lights for a couple of seconds then goes out and stays out





Switch on call for DHW, boiler lights and stays lit, flow water heats and sends hot water to cylinder AND rads OK

When HW cylinder stat is satisfied, boiler blue light extinguishes but display still reads c (because of call from CH side- room stat NOT satisfied)



In summary boiler will not operate DESPITE there being a call for heat (as indication on display panel) UNLESS there is a call for DHW simultaneously



The condensate drain is clear, and the internal trap is clear and full





Question



Why, when there is a call for CH only (display changes from 0 to c) does the boiler NOT stay lit, but will if there is a simultaneous call for DHW – indicating that the internal flow sensor ( and circ pump OK) , flow and return thermistors ok, and clearly the fan and ignition circuits are OK..



Surely when there is a c on display the boiler should fire up and it does NOT differentiate whether that is a DHW or CH only call, the control of DHW and CH is mainly controlled by the external components e.g. thermostats



Any thoughts would be much appreciated

Thanks
 
Most everyone here is in the USA. Though Hydronics is still Hydronics, the intimate knowledge of system quirks comes in to play so don’t be surprised if you don’t get much response. The expert site HeatingHelp/the Wall is the best place for what you have , but that site is also USA mainly (I think
