The Ideal 176545 Plate Heat Exchanger Kit – 30kW is a genuine replacement heat exchanger component designed for use in compatible Ideal boilers with a 30kW output. The plate heat exchanger is a critical part of the boiler’s system that transfers heat from the primary heating circuit to the domestic hot water supply.

Function & Purpose

The plate heat exchanger efficiently transfers thermal energy from the heated boiler water to the potable water used for taps and showers. Its design maximises surface area contact between the primary and secondary water circuits, supporting quick and effective heat transfer. Replacing a worn, corroded, or inefficient plate heat exchanger helps restore hot water delivery performance, improve system efficiency, and prevent internal leaks or cross-contamination between circuits.

Compatibility

This plate heat exchanger kit is engineered to match original equipment specifications for Ideal boilers rated at 30kW that require the 176545 part. It ensures correct fitment, reliable performance, and seamless integration with compatible systems.

Build Quality

As an authentic Ideal spare part, the 176545 Plate Heat Exchanger Kit is manufactured to high quality standards. The materials and precision construction are chosen for durability and long-term reliability under the thermal and pressure stresses typical of boiler and domestic hot water systems.

Ideal Applications

This heat exchanger kit is ideal for heating engineers, service technicians, and installers performing maintenance, repairs, or replacements on compatible 30kW Ideal boilers. It is particularly useful when symptoms such as reduced hot water flow, inconsistent temperatures, leaks, or reduced efficiency indicate that the existing heat exchanger may be failing, helping to restore dependable, efficient hot water performance.
