Lets Go To Work, Alpha Intel 2 E01 Repair

- Combustion control 101.
In this video I see what happens when you run out of add blue, fix a large commercial heating system, replace some 500l expansion vessels, repair an Alpha Intec 2 with F01 fault and talk about combustion control in gas boilers.
This Baxi Combi Boiler had be diagnosed by two different heating engineers and now it's time to find out who is right. Boiler repairs are not easy and everyone makes mistakes. This video is not a criticism on the repair engineers. Gas boilers are complex and servicing and troubleshooting them can be a difficult task. Common UK boiler brands such as Vaillant, Ideal, Worcester and Baxi all have more obscure models and this is one of them
Unlike the USA our boilers are all high efficiency and more technology makes for harder diagnosis.

I typed all that for better keyword and YT ratings. Lets see!!
Here is a link to the kit I used in this video, it is an affiliate link so if you buy it I get a (very very small) kick back. I didn't do this video for this kick back. I could find more money on the floor of the van behind the drivers seat ;-)

I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT COMBINATION BOILERS
I'm glad they help. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment :-)
Your knowledge is 2nd to none mate 👍
Glad you think so! It comes from making lots and lots of mistakes. :-)
Great video. My 1st boiler of the day after this video was a neta tec GA. It was great to have this fresh in my head. Thank you
No Problem. :-) I'm not a fan of the GA
I'm not sure anyone is 😂
Not what I usually watch.❤ watching your intimate knowledge makes a video like this worth watching. Thank you Ollie ..
Nice one. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It's hard to find the context for these brain vomits sometimes. I'm glad I finally got it off my chest. :-)
Very clever man love your videos
Glad you like them! Thanks for taking the time to comment too:-)
I went to a Vaillant combi firing up then displaying all kinds of faults and locking out. Eventually......i went to the gas meter cupboard and found the pile of Christmas presents had fallen over knocking the emergency lever to half shut 😂 Thankfully i hadnt pulled the boiler to bits...and it was a late night callout... Phew 🥳
Sometimes the simple things catch us out :-)
Great knowledge shared thank you.
Glad it was helpful! It was a bit off the cuff so wasn't the best produced but I got the point across. :-)
Biomass boilers have a lamba sensor installed in their flue which monitors the residual oxygen level in the products of combustion, and adjusts the amount of input air to achieve better more efficient safe combustion. As you said combustion is combustion no matter what the fuel source. Brilliant video, deep tech alway stimulates the mind.
Nice. I just had to get it out there. It has been in my head for a few years. Im glad you have seen Lamba sensors, one of my mates called me to say I was making it up. :-)
brilliant video again.
Glad you enjoyed it. It was a bit of a rant but shows some of the stuff I get up too.
Great info
Glad it was helpful! I did know quite a lot more about it but I forgot in the last few years. The Alpha and Warmhaus stuff was filmed in 2019.
Lovely jubbly 👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks :-)
👍 another good one
Thanks :-)
I miss the days of playing with everything in the plant rooms- burners only for me now 😂😁 great vid mate awful ending 😭😢 bloody adblue 😂
:-) Fu^k the van. AdBlue con. :-)
Gas safe inspector be like 🥴 just sign here please Oliver 😂😂😂
I wish. :-) I had the same guy a few years ago 3 times, for 3 different businesses. He made me do EVERYTHING on all 3 inspections. The absolute best bit is I worked with him when I done my apprenticeship so I had known him for nearly 22 years.
@@HeatingGeek That's pretty tough
It was. I guess I pissed him off at some point. Maybe these videos...
I work for Baxi the GA was a bit of a nightmare initially but we’ve got on top of it now, we changed the PCB software to get around a lot of the issues. And like you say we now use the Black GV and once you get one sorted it’s pretty good. You can auto calibrate them, then manually go into each setting hi/low/mid and get it via the display where you need it to be. Many years ago though caused no end of headaches, mostly due to engineers not understanding how they work.
I really did help develop the black gas valve. I videoed 20-30 valves before and after replacement. Sent all the videos to Warmhaus. Met them at a test center so we could go through every valve. They took our findings to Betelli and got the valve updated. I posted a photo of the trial gas valve on instagram today. On my story. :-)
@@HeatingGeek ahh top man. I’ve never seen the internals before and how it actually moves so every day is a school day for me aswell!
@@alimack5489 Amazing how it flutters inside from the PWM.
Level: Expert
I have forgot a lot about this stuff tbh. I last done it about 4 years ago. ;-)
Has the alpha section been sped up? Sounds strange
Yes. I couldn't stand how slow it was so 1.25 speed set.
If you were fitting a new combi into your house what would you fit
An old one. :-)
😂👍
Vaillant for me tbh. Always been good to me
🤘😎🤘
Thanks Wayne :-)
Commercial is like rocket science to me, scary
Nah, just bigger. Same stuff. Boilers Pumps and pipe. :-)
surly just replacing the bladder would of been easier to do
I was told not to. :-) I do agree though. I wanted to replace all 3 bladders but the client wanted the 1 vessel replaced. The ended up doing the other 2 later in the year.
@@HeatingGeek least you got some decent fire bins
@@originalshedboi Had to cut them up to get them out. So no BBQ or fire bins. :-(
Fantastic as always Ollie. You put all the other ‘Washer Changers: on Utube to shame👍👍
Amazingly insightful regarding the Combustion Controls Systems.
Question; Appliances with the Bertelli GV & PCB, on a Combi Boiler, would it be possible to set them up with Hot Water running continually, to dissipate heat?
Thanks for sharing your very insightful knowledge.
Fantastic viewing also on the Commercial stuff👍👍
Dick Puller❤❤
Yes you can if you have the flow rate. But usually you don't. I have had a lot of trouble setting them up. Also you see them a lot on LPG and the statics don't usually have more than 7-8LPM.
@@HeatingGeek Flow Rate is generally not a big issue here in Jockoland Ollie. However, there’s some locations that are fairly poor.
You’re the first Gas Engineer I’ve watched on UTube that discussed the likes of Bertelli & other Combustion Control Systems. You also make a great point about Boiler Manufacturers following the lead of Car Manufacturers. Indeed, the OT/Bus Protocol control systems came from there also.
@@TheDickPuller Yes, you are absolutely correct. CAN Bus was used on cars a long long time ago. My year 2000 5 Series used it and I don't think it was the first. I bet it goes back to the early 90s.
I completely forgot about that. :-)
