1998 warmflow BF 70/90 baffles.

[Bob from Ilson]

Hi all, new member's 1st post.
On removing the boiler top for cleaning etc. I found a number of the baffles
damaged/burnt/rotted away?? The damaged portions have become brittle and
turned a strange blue in colour. Is this just ageing wear and tear or a sign of a
burner malfunction? Being a very simple design, would it be feasible to fabricate
replacements?
Your comments would be most welcome.
Regards Bob.

Over aired for a start but then baffles don't last forever. Not sure if wf would still hold any of them so you may need consider fabrication.

Give wf a call first though.

And welcome to the mob!

Thanks Croppie, I must admit at this time I'm a DIYer. I'm preparing
the unit prior to having a new burner fitted, proffessionally!
BTW do you if the baffles are special material or is it the combustion
process which makes it look strange? I've a local stainless fabricator
available if that would be better.
Regards, Bob.

Stainless should be fine.

Thanks Dan, I'll probably get used to things on my way,
but I hope I won't have to.
