Main eco elite 24kw boiler case seems to be sweating

[paulsanderson]

hi i'm new here,
i fitted the above boiler about three months ago at home, it's been fine so far but i noticed that water was dripping from the case, when i opened it up to have a look the top of the case seems to have condensation on it?? i originally thought the condensing pipe was blocked because we have quite a lot of paramount two/three 60kw boilers at work and they seem to be exactly the same just smaller? i don't think it's the seal on the condensing side has gone and it letting condensate back into the air side because it doesn't do it all of the time?? is this normal for these boilers??
thanks in advance
paul

More to the point, looking at your old posts, have you your domestic tickets?

Nowt worse than a ham fisted commercial pipe monkey on a refined domestic appliance...... Oh it's a main.... Retracted.

 

[paulsanderson]

hello, yes i have got both commercial and domestic tickets thanks
we have similar ones at work but they're 60kw, also it only does it when it's really cold outside??

 

[Ermintrude]

Nope not normal at all lover!

 

[paulsanderson]

thanks for the replies has anyone got any ideas what could be causing it?? it's not doing it now because i've just looked? it seemed to be coming from the air side rather than the condensing side?
thanks in advance

sounds like condensation, the glowplugs in holiday homes I look after are always soaked inside when haven't been on while

Shifting to private forum.

what angle is the flue - could be rain if angle is too steep. these boilers can weep from hw thermistor washer and auto airvent. check inner flue and seal
