Why Choose a Condensing Boiler

The working principle of conventional boilers, which have been used in central heating for many years, the technology of the past, is to provide hot water to the system by making use of the heat energy of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels. The hot air formed in this process cannot be utilized sufficiently, some of the fuel leaves the device without contributing to the heating system and causes high flue gas values. For this reason, the user is not only able to benefit sufficiently from the fuel, but also unintentionally harms the environment due to high NOx and CO emission rates. It is evident that unnecessary expenditures arising from the inefficiency of the system and the high amount of bills reflected to the users in terms of heating are not sustainable. Today, when all humanity is struggling against global warming, this damage to nature should be minimized by using engineering knowledge in a beneficial way.

Due to the high energy consumption of conventional boilers and the losses in the process of converting the fuel to heat, these central heating systems have evolved by revealing the latent potential of waste heat in water vapor today, thanks to special alloy heat exchangers, and thus giving rise to condensing boiler technology. The system utilizes the water vapor in the flue gases leaving the system at high temperature without contributing to the heating and the water vapor in the condensing chamber contacts the heat exchanger surface and condenses into water, and the resulting energy is transferred to the central heating. These heat exchangers are produced with different methods and suitable alloys according to the desired capacity and chemical properties of the water in the system. In this way, high efficiency in heat transfer is achieved, while prolonging the service life of the devices.

Mixing of gas and air required for combustion in order to achieve high-efficiency combustion before they arrive to burner is called as Premix Technology. While gas and air come together at the combustion end in the hood in conventional burners, in systems using premix technology, the high modulation operation of the frequency-controlled fan provides the amount of air needed for the gas amount required for combustion to provide the desired heat capacity. In this way, consumption is ensured depending on the desired power and energy savings are achieved.

Compared to old-style solutions, high efficiency rates are achieved in new generation condensing boilers, energy savings are made by consuming less fuel for the same task, and environmentally-friendly solutions are achieved with lower NOx and CO emission rates. Today, condensing boilers have become the indispensable choice of conscious consumers, thanks to both protecting the decreasing energy resources and increasing efficiency with low fuel consumption.  With its wall type, floor type and roof top series and various device options suitable for any space of use  and the desired capacity, Ecodense condensing boilers meet all kinds of your needs.
