New Rayburn has set the standard
Rayburn has introduced its second completely new central heating range cooker for 2014. The contemporary design of the 370SFW blends distinctive looks, high efficiencies and exceptional performance. With a boiler output of 13.4kW
(46,000 BTU/h) ensuring it is the most powerful solid fuel/wood-fired model produced by Rayburn. The new model returns efficiencies of over 70% - perfect for homeowners with small to medium-sized properties looking for higher outputs from a solid fuel/wood burning system. A thermostatic probe
incorporated into the boiler with a
control knob on the ash door accurately monitors air supply in the firebox while six thermostatic settings manage the water temperature rise for central heating purposes – optimising efficiency and comfort. Insulated by chromed Rayburn lids
it is one of the largest rectangular cast iron hotplates available from a solid fuel/wood-fired central heating range cooker. Two large cast iron ovens benefit
from the traditional indirect heating principle using conduction, convection and radiant heat.

noise to a minimum. “Our challenge with HomeBoost
was to make a quiet pump without compromising on performance,” says technical director Gareth Richards. “With our new technology inside we have been able to develop better acoustics with no detriment to performance level”. The independent testing showed
noise test results for HomeBoost of 40.5dBA at open outlet which is quieter than a boiling electric kettle and all other competitor products tested.
