Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a Retrofit kit assembly (1) for converting a gaseous hydrocarbon combustion appliance (2), in particular a gas boiler, and more particularly for a condensing gas boiler, to a combustion appliance for combustion of fuel gas comprising more than 20 mol%, in particular more than 30 mol%, hydrogen wherein the retrofit kit (1) further comprises a burner (6) configured for combustion of more than 20 mol%, in particular more than 30 mol%, of hydrogen and a data carrier (21) comprising information which, when the data carrier is read out cause a computer or a control unit to carry out a method (100) for controlling the operation of the combustion appliance (2), in particular a gas boiler, wherein the burner (6) is configured to be operated between a minimum load and a maximum load, wherein the method comprises the steps:• during a start-up phase: supplying combustible gas, in particular premixed gas, having a first lambda-value to the burner surface, wherein the first lambda-value is at least 1,5, in particular 1,7 in particular at least 1.8, and igniting the supplied gas having the first lambda-value using an ignition source,• during an operation phase after the gas has been ignited: supplying gas having a second lambda-value to the burner surface, wherein the first lambda-value is larger than the second lambda-value.
