What it is

The Ideal 178171 is a heat engine body insulation component for Ideal Commercial appliances. It is shaped to sit against the heat engine body on the Imax Xtra EL 545kW range, where it reduces heat loss from the casing and helps keep external surface temperatures within normal working limits. It is supplied as an Ideal spare part.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible cracking, crumbling or compression of the insulation material
  • Insulation detached from the heat engine body or sitting loose
  • Casing or flue surface temperatures noticeably higher than normal
  • Increased heat loss and reduced efficiency around the heat engine
  • Discolouration or scorching across the insulation surface

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and rating match the compatibility list before ordering.
  • Check the existing insulation for the correct shape and mounting points.
  • Inspect seals and fixings around the heat engine body and replace any that are damaged.
