There is provided a condensing unit (1) for a water heating boiler forming part of a water heating system. The condensing unit (1) has a main enclosure (12) which houses a water jacket (35) and an exhaust gas flue passageway (20). There is provided an inlet manifold (25) for exhaust gases produced by the boiler which delivers the exhaust gases to gas conduits formed by tubes (32) incorporating spirally wound baffles (33). The exhaust gases are delivered from the inlet manifold (25) to a transfer manifold (27), then through further gas conduits (30), from the transfer manifold (27) to an outlet manifold (26). Return water from the heating system is delivered through a water jacket inlet (15) to a water jacket outlet (16) which is connected to the return inlet of the boiler, thus heating the water. The advantage of this stand alone unit is that it can be readily easily fitted to existing boilers, either against the side of the boiler or on top of it. <IMAGE> |
