Objective
Cost-effective, fuel-flexible, efficient and clean premix burners will be developed for domestic heating systems via fully-validated advanced modelling and design tools. Low cost and fuel flexibility are essential to gain wide market penetration in the Wes tern Balkans, where natural gas composition changes remarkably from site to site and in time. The major FlexHEAT targets are: - Development of 1:3 power modulating atmospheric premix metal burners with no water cooling, optimised material composition and p ollutants emissions < 50 mg/kWh (state-of-art burners enable 1:2.5 power modulation only with burner-mantle water cooling for flame stabilisation). - Development of 1:5 power modulating fully-premixed metal burners, optimised material composition and po llutants emissions < 40 mg/kWh (state-of-art reliable burners with these characteristics are mainly manufactured with very high cost materials). - Achievement of enhanced fuel flexibility, i.e. capability of handling different feed gases (from natural g as, LPG, renewables as biogas - several kinds of biogas will be considered for both burners -, low heating value gas from Western Balkans,...) and reliability (30,000 h and 200,000 thermal cycles). - A fully-validated modelling/design platform, based on c ombined CFD modelling of flames and finiteelements modelling of burner stress & strain, mainly aimed at tailoring the burner geometry and the slitsand-holes shape and pattern. Pollutants emission, flame stability and noise generation will also be anal ysed. - Model validation will be performed in specific test rigs and in real appliances (validators), assembled and tested by the end-users, where the above targets will be demonstrated.
