Flue Gas Waste Heat Recovery Boiler System

Boilers are one of the most common systems used to generate heat and hot water for domestic and commercial situations.

Fitting a Passive Flue Gas Recovery Boiler System creates a more energy efficient heating system. Industry Waste heat recovery Boilers tend to convert approximately 90% of energy to heat; the excess 10% goes to waste with the heat being exhausted out of the building into the atmosphere. Being able to capture this energy not only saves energy, it reduces heating costs and helps to reduce global warming and carbon emissions.

A flue gas recovery boiler system can be fitted to the flue outlet of a condensing combi boiler, transferring the heat to pre-heat water from the mains before it goes into the boiler. As a result the amount of gas or oil used by the boiler to heat the hot water is reduced.

Being easy to install, a flue gas recovery boiler system also works effectively with air/ground source heat pumps as well as solar thermal heating systems. They also benefit users because they extract harmful emissions that certain boilers, e.g. room fan assisted boilers generate.

Specifying a flue gas recovery boiler system helps to meet higher energy rating levels of CSH (the Code for Sustainable Homes); they also qualify for Cash back from Green Deal funding.
The benefits of flue gas recovery boiler systems are max of heating efficiency coupled with lower long term costs due to reduced energy expenditure.
