Obiettivo Objectives and content The manufacturers of heating equipment have to face new challenges related to the air quality regulation and the new demands from the market concerning efficiency, easy use, safety, and heat management in buildings. To help them it is necessary to provide new design tools able to improve the innovation capability and the competitiveness of this industrial sector. The aim of this project is to develop new design tools and methodologies for the manufacturing industry using gas fuelled laminar premixed burners. The processes in concern are heating systems for domestic or tertiary use, and industrial drying as used in food, paper or textile industries. The project will contain: - a detailed analysis of physics and chemistry of the process - an analysis of the manufacturing and the R&D processes induding a screening and a characterisation of the different elements which composed boilers and heating systems - the development and the validation of the models necessary for simulation The scientific and technical researches made will produce: - new design rules derived from the increase of knowledge of the thermal process obtained during the project. - Software packages for computer simulation of burners and boilers performance - experimental methodologies for development using advance diagnostic techniques The validation and demonstration including a cost/benefit analysis, will rely on the domestic boiler manufacturing process. The industrial benefits expected are: - substantial economy-25 % expected- and shorten duration -50% reduction expected at -midterm for new burners/boilers development - by the year 2000, design of new efficient, low cost, low NOx -less than the 50 mg/kWh- boilers, accepting all types of distributed gases - better response to the market demand. These output will profit to the SME's which are constituting the main part of the industrial sector concerned and will help to increase their competitiveness. Positive effects on air quality by reducing NOx emissions are also expected.
