    3 TECHNICAL DATA VGH RESIDENTIAL BOILERS UNCTIONAL INTRODUCTION The VGH boilers are central heating/combi boilers with a maximum high efficiency. Such a performance can be reached by, amongst other things, using a special heat exchanger made of stainless steel. This allows the flue gases to cool down below the condensation point, thus releasing extra heat.

    Frost protection The boiler has a built-in frost protection that automatically activates the boiler circulator when the boiler return (water) temperature drops below 50 °F/ 10 °C (programmable). When the boiler return temperature drops below the 41 °F/ 5 °C (programmable), the boiler is also ignited. The circulator and/or boiler will shut down as soon as the return temperature has reached the 59 °F/ 15 °C (programmable).
