Worcester Bosch Baffle Plate Assembly Greenstar Camray 87161153720

The Worcester Bosch baffle plate assembly is a combustion-side component fitted inside the heat exchanger of Greenstar and Camray oil boilers. It sits in the flue gas path and slows the passage of hot gases so more heat transfers into the water circuit rather than escaping up the flue. Worcester Bosch specifies it as a serviceable item, and it is listed under spare part type Baffles.

• Soot or black deposits building up around the heat exchanger and flue ways
• Combustion readings drifting out of range, with CO2 or flue temperature outside the figures expected for the appliance
• The boiler short-cycling, struggling to reach temperature or running noticeably longer to satisfy demand
• Rumbling, rattling or uneven noise from the heat exchanger during firing
• Visible distortion, corrosion, cracking or missing sections found when the baffle is inspected

• Confirm the boiler model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering, as the same baffle is used across several Greenstar and Camray variants
• Check the number stamped on the existing baffle, as earlier builds may carry the previous number 87161123670
• Inspect baffle retaining clips, gaskets and seals at the same time, since these are disturbed when the baffle is removed
• Oil-fired appliance work should be carried out by a competent OFTEC-registered engineer
