Gas rates for LPG Morco GB24 S2

[DNA369]

So I was recently doing a gas test and service on a caravan with Not go GB24 S2, the boiler has giving off a gas rate of 0.87m3/h. I checked the inlet pressure of about 39mbar, the meter it was been fed from was brand new. The pipework was all fine. I am just wondering what should I do in this situation if I couldn't find a fault the FGA was also fine

No gas advice given on the open forum PM @Harvest Fields @ShaunCorbs or @Riley with your gas safe details and we’ll get you access to the gas safe forum. Also we need a little involvement from you. Post a few more comments, introduce yourself etc. We just want to know that you’re not just using us for our minds

I have seen them. But not on LPG on G20

Maybe he is hacked off because he is struggling to find a good reason to chop off and recommend a new boiler?

 

[garygvl]

It does

so whats the question all i can see is a statement

 

[Harvest Fields]

He is asking what he/she should do?

cheers mate

 

[Harvest Fields]

No problem.

 

[garygvl]

No problem.

look forward to tomorrows replies so far its a bit cryptic

About the low gas rate it’s coming out at 9kw

lpg boiler 24 x 3.6 / 95 = 0.9 m3/hr. he got 0.87 so not far out

Think your figures are out as

3.0m3h is roughly 32kw

 

[Harvest Fields]

If we are talking about output readings and gas rates. Should this be moved to a area that isn’t open?

 

[Harvest Fields]

And yes. I know that the OP isn’t Gas safe.

Yes on mains gas but not on lpg

 

[garygvl]

The difference in calorific value between natural gas and LPG are huge. When doing calculations we are told to use 38.7 MJ/m3 for natural gas as an average but I cant find an average for LPG. Data says its between 90 and 95 so average is 92.5. op said he got a reading of 0.87 m3/hr so using these numbers if we do the calculation using the natural gas formula we get 0.87 x 38.7 / 3.6 = 9.35kw. if we do the calculation using the lpg formula we get 0.87 x 92.5 / 3.6 = 22.4kw which is still a bit low but when dealing with caravans keeping the boiler on high rate for 2 mins isn’t always easy. Dhw flow rate and small heating load can mean boiler wont stay on high rate for that long. Yes I am GSR just don’t have the badge

As Shaun said its unsual to have a meter on a caravan site unless it's bulk storage supplied directly by the site.
What is the question? Have you just installed the morco? Was it new?

There is some by me in Staffordshire where the whole site is ran on G20 mate. (75 static vans)
