Foreword
This service manual is intended to assist with servicing and fault-finding in caravans, motor caravans and sheds
equipped with Alde's LPG boilers, types 2923 and 2928. The handbook may also be of assistance in ordering spare parts,
in understanding how the boilers operate, and how they are installed. It also includes general information on how our
heating systems are designed, and some information on LPG and LPG installations.
We hope that you will find this manual very useful, and that it will save you time during service and fault-finding on our
boilers.
NOTE! We reserve the right to make changes after this manual has been printed.

LPG burners normally work at a lower pressure than that
in the cylinder. Alde's LPG boilers work at a pressure of
28/37 mbar. This reduction in pressure is achieved by Outlet
passing the LPG through a reduction valve, which is
screwed on top of the LPG cylinder, or on to an automatic
LPG connector.

3:0 About Comfort LPG boilers 2923 & 2928
Boiler layout (figure 9): Fig 7. Fig 9 (Comfort 2923).
At the bottom of the LPG burner 2923 there is an inlet pipe Exhaust
which feeds in air from outside to the combustion chamber gases
(fig 7). On the LPG boiler 2928, the air is led from the top
of the flue via a hose down to the combustion chamber Flue
(fig 8). The LPG automatic unit and burner are attached
to a removable plate screwed into the combustion chamber
in the lower section of the boiler. The water jacket is fitted
above the combustion chamber, and consists of an inner 2923
and outer pipe. The gap between these pipes provides the Cirkulation pump
water reservoir. Inside the inner pipe there is a flame-
damper, which consists of a folded stainless plate. This is Expansion vessel
intended to direct the warm combustion gases coming
from the burner out towards the water jacket to heat the Level marks for

unscrew. Pull down the spark plug, nut and cable with
silicone sleeve and take them out at the side. Remove the
plug from the cable and nut, and destroy it immediately by
bending the electrode so that it cannot be confused with
a new plug.
3. Fit the nut to the new plug and connect the cable. Pull
the silicon sleeve (fig 21 D) over the joint, approximately
5 - 8 mm on to the plug. Insert the spark plug in place and
tighten the nut carefully. Check the distans, see fig 21.
