Condensing / Hydrogen Boilers
Condensing Boilers are fuel powered boilers that use condensing technology to maximise thermal efficiency. Conventional boilers need to produce heat with a minimum return temperature of 60 deg C to avoid condensing of flue gases. This means that a significant amount of heat energy is lost through the boiler exhaust. Condensing Boilers have more advances Heat exchangers that can handle fuel gas condensation and can utilise this additional energy. Condensing boilers if designed correctly can operate at up to 97% efficiency whereas a conventional boiler can at best operate around 85% efficiency.
Hydrogen ready Boilers are upgraded/Modified Fuel boilers that can handle mixtures of Natural Gas and Hydrogen and have the potential to convert to 100% hydrogen with it becomes available. Existing gas utility networks can handle up to 20% hydrogen without any modification. Hydrogen is completely clean burning with the only emission being water and heat. If hydrogen produced from water using renewable energy, it’s a completely green process offsetting huge amounts of CO2 emissions.
