A condensing boiler is more efficient due to its ability to
extract more heat from the flue gases normally lost to the
environment through the flue system.
Greenstar Highflow CDi combis use a proven aluminium-
silicon heat cell with an extra large surface area.
As the flue gases pass through the heat exchanger this
extra surface area cools the flue gases to around 55°C at
which point the latent heat within is released. This is heat
that would normally be lost to the atmosphere.
It is this ability to extract as much heat as possible from
the gas it burns that gives Greenstar Highflow CDi combis
an exceptionally high level of operating efficiency.
This higher efficiency is recognised within section L of the
Building Regulations, subsequently achieving a higher SAP
or NHER rating.
The separate plated DHW heat exchanger combined with
the thermal store ensures that hot water is delivered
instantly to the outlet being operated.

The advantages of a combi boiler
A combi (or combination boiler) is a compact and highly
efficient unit giving all the heating and hot water you need,
with significant savings on running and installation costs.
Unlike a conventional heating and hot water system, a
combi boiler system does not store domestic hot water. It
heats water directly from the cold water mains – as you use
it. There’s no hot water cylinder, no tank in the loft (and so
less risk of freezing and flooding), and none of the
connecting pipework.
So you not only save space, but also reduce hot water costs
– which can account for up to 60% of a typical domestic
fuel bill.
A combi also supplies hot water at mains pressure, giving
you powerful showering without the need for a pump. And
as, on average, a shower uses considerably less water than
a typical bath, the savings on hot water costs and water
consumption can be significant.

Modulating central heating and hot water outputs
combined with separate consumer controls, also mean
that comfortable temperature levels for both can be set
independently of each other.
Greenstar Highflow CDi combis are supplied as standard
suitable for sealed primary water systems. The appliance
contains a 12 litre expansion vessel, 3bar pressure relief
valve, pressure gauge and an automatic air vent. The
appliance cannot be used on an open vent system.
Fluing
Greenstar Highflow CDi combis are available as a multi-
directional room-sealed fanned flue appliance.
Gas
The Greenstar Highflow CDi is manufactured in both natural
gas and Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) variants.
Operation
Hot water mode
W
ith the appliance in a standby condition, i.e. thermal store
or heatbank at temperature set by the hot water thermostat,
a demand for hot water will cause the flow turbine to
energise the pump and circulate primary hot water around
the boiler and the plated water to water heat exchanger. The
burner will ramp-up at its maximum setting and modulate
accordingly to maintain the temperature of the heatbank.
When hot water is no longer required the appliance will
continue to operate until the heatbank has returned to the
required temperature.
Priority is always given to the production of domestic hot
water. Should the central heating be in operation when a hot
water demand is made, the supply to the radiators will be
temporarily interrupted.
Central heating mode
On a demand for central heating the pump will energise,
the diverter valve will open and primary water will circulate
around the heating system. The burner will light at the
minimum setting and ramp upwards to meet the system
demand. The radiators will heat up to the temperature set
by the fascia mounted heating temperature controller
(assuming there are no TRVs on the radiators).
Application of Greenstar Highflow CDi combis
•
Worcester Greenstar Highflow CDi combis deliver
domestic hot water at a flow rate of 20 litres/min (4.4gpm)
& 25 litres/min (5.5gpm), making the appliances ideally
suited for use in medium to large sized family homes,
incorporating up to three bathrooms
•
As the Worcester Greenstar Highflow CDi combis deliver
hot water at mains pressure, they are ideally suited to
providing a powerful shower
•
Worcester Greenstar Highflow CDi combis can be sited
where space and water storage is a problem
•
Worcester Greenstar Highflow CDi combis may be used to
provide domestic hot water only, with radiators being
added at a later date
•
The fluing options available with Greenstar Highflow CDi
combis, both horizontal and vertical, offer excellent scope
for siting the appliance, particularly in kitchens, airing
cupboards, etc
•
Worcester Greenstar Highflow CDi combis can be sited
underneath a worktop as servicing can be undertaken
from the front. A removable section of worktop is
recommended should you require top access for
maintenance work
