Objective
The major objectives of the project are:
a) at least a 20% reduction of non-renewable usage and CO2 emissions for apartment heating and hot-water production by developing a high-modulation boiler (>10:1 turndown ratio, accomplished through an innovative electroically controlled bruner-feed system) based on pre-mixed catalytic burner;
b) a boler market price below 1500 Euro to have good exploitation chances;
c) each boiler component (burner included) should be designed to withstand 35,000 hrs under real-life operating conditions;
d) NOx emissions <10 mb/kWh and negligible HC and CO emissions over the entire modulation range, due to the catalytic burner and the gas-sensor-driven control system. The catalysts must be better than commercial ones in terms of high-temperature and sulftur resisitance thereby enabling the above mentioned lifetime.
