flavel everglow bf fire

[GQuigley67]

this fire keeps sooting up, i serviced it the other day inlet pressure and gas rate fine, when i put the flue gas analyser in the flue the CO levels maxed out at 150ppm.

I have placed the coals in the right position, and it appears to be sooting up one day after the service.

I'm thinking the burner is maybe out of poistion and too close to the coals? It is room sealed and not spilling internally but causing soot build up on the outside wall.

2 things check the injectors not caked up,check the air intakes not obstructed i do service work for bfm there not prone to sooting up

I thought this was posted in the private forum, could you move it?

air intake doesnt seem obstructed customer was an old lady speaking to her son on the phone said its done it since it was installed basically and it has been serviced before by other engineers

think you need a word with flavel tech

Did you completely strip out and wash burner? Clean injectors?
If the burner spotless, flue sound, coals correct and gas rate all good there is no other reason for excessive sooting on these fires.

I'd be checking the flue and seals if this has been happening since the install took place

Is inlet pressure ok when other appliances running

The seal on the glass panel was worn so I put some 10mm rope seal around it, replaced closure tape, removed and cleaned burner, there was a heat shield on the flue I also removed that as it wasn't in MI. I think I might pop down after a week see how bad the soot has gotten or if the new seal had helped it

I would be examining that flue system very carefully, to see if products of combustion are re-circulating.
