One of a small number of Ghits:
the complete range of oil and gas fired condensing boilers
http://www.haldane-fisher.com/fs/doc/plumbing-and-heating-bo...
coaxial balanced flue system - Ø 80/125. Description. Code. Equiv Length. Horizontal Terminal. FBF. 1.0m. Vertical Terminal. VBF. 2.0m. 1m Extension. F3. 1.0m.
In fact, 'concentric balanced flue' gets rather more Ghits — but in truth, balanced flues are so commonly concentric / coaxial, it is simply rarely mentioned, as you will see if you research images of 'balanced flues'

In answer to Chris's comment, I was only just the other day studying the installation manual for my own condensing boiler, and was horrified to see there a number of other flue configurations that I had not seen before — and as Chris says, some of them looking horribly fiddly to implement!
