Keston Commercial - Higher Output Keston 260 and Keston 340
Following the immediate success of the Keston 130 (38 kW) and the Keston 170 (50 kW) light
commercial models Keston Boilers launched two additional commercial condensing gas boilers to
further extend its range of ultra high efficiency boilers
The Keston 260 (76 kW output) and Keston 340 (100 kW output) are unique in concept and design
and each have an exceptionally high efficiency at 98% (GCV).
Despite their powerful output the boilers are designed to be wall mounted, though floor standing installations can be
accommodated using the optional floor standing frame.
The compact size means these boilers can be sited practically anywhere without the need for a dedicated boiler room.
Each model comprises two boiler modules with individual gas valve, fans, burners and heat exchanger assemblies. Each module
operates completely independently and is automatically sequenced to offer maximum load matching.
Firing sequence is regularly rotated automatically to even usage levels.
Unique FLUE SYSTEM
All Keston boilers have the advantage of a small diameter
plastic flue system and the commercial range is no
exception.
The 50 mm diameter plastic flue used on the Keston 130
and Keston 170 can be extended up to 29 metres away
from the unit. The 100 mm diameter plastic flue on the
Keston 260 and Keston 340 can be extended up to 39
metres. All boilers can accommodate vertical or horizontal
flue routes. The usage of low cost plastic pipe for the flue
can save thousands of pounds on installation costs when
compared to a conventional flue. In refurbishment projects
there is no need for expensive relining of the flue. This
system is also ideal for buildings with difficult flue options and
particularly listed buildings with various restrictions.
Added benefits of
the flue flexibility is
that the boiler can
be sited practically
anywhere in the
most convenient
position and the
flue can be
terminated in a
location where the
"plume" generated
with a condensing
boiler does not
cause a visual
nuisance.

How It Works
The Keston modules use
a high powered
combustion blower to
deliver a premix of gas
and air to a downward
firing burner in a high
efficiency single pass heat
exchanger. The heat exchanger is made from highly
corrosion resistant stainless steel formed into a tightly wound
coil. Hot combustion gases pass through the coil providing
heat to the water system.
Shunt pumps, integral to the appliance on the Keston 260
and Keston 340, will ensure each module receives the
correct water flow when firing.
The Keston boilers are of low mass and low water content
giving a rapid response when there is a call for heat.
The design of Keston boilers, with its single pass heat
exchanger, avoids the complications associated with other
condensing boilers and as a result does not require
complicated printed circuit boards. The unit is totally room
sealed and requires no ventilation for combustion air to the
room or compartment in which it is installed.
The Keston commercial boilers are exceptionally easy to install
and maintain and pipework header assemblies are available as
an option to assist speedy installation. They are completely
environmentally sound with negligible NOx emissions (Class 5
rated) and can save 30% on the heating bill.
