The InTec2 range of residential boilers from Alpha has been updated to meet the requirements of the ErP Directive, including the company’s flagship combi, the InTec C.
The new ErP compliant models include the InTec2 XE, with two output options, the InTec2 CE, with three output options, and the InTec2 SE, with two output options.
Designed with home-owners and installers in mind, the InTec2 boilers are smaller and lighter than previous models. As such, they offer the option of being fitted inside a standard kitchen unit when space is limited.
The boilers also feature a new heat exchanger, which has been designed as a one-piece casting with larger waterways and lower overall water content. It is cliamed to deliver faster warm-up and offer better circulation, thereby making it more resistant to overheating and blockages.
With advanced combustion management, the gas flow is controlled and adjusted as needed, resulting in improved energy efficiency. The gas adaptive valve also enables each boiler to work with either natural Gas or LPG. One single electrode lights the boiler and senses the flame, all the time feeding information back to the gas valve via the PCB.
The smart PCB contains a memory chip that holds key data, including user and calibration settings that can be easily transferred to a new PCB if necessary, without having to re-set the boiler. In addition, an easy to operate backlit LCD control panel provides detailed heating and hot water information.
Most components that are likely to need attention during a routine service are situated at the front of the boiler so they can be accessed and, if necessary, changed more easily. What’s more, with dry-change NTCs there is no need to drain the boiler before changing them, again saving time during servicing.
Alpha’s InTec C premium boiler, has been updated to include a modulating high efficiency pump along with a seasonality valve, isothermic stainless steel heat exchanger and low electrical consumption. Available in two outputs, the boiler comes with a seven year guarantee.
