The Use of Condensing Boilers in Autonomous Heating Systems

Condensing boilers are the most energy efficient heat generators providing the highest technical and economic indicators. At the same time, in almost all cases of using condensation heat-generating equipment, the energy efficiency of the technical solution is ensured due to the fuel component in operating costs, despite the growth of capital investments in installations. The support by many countries at the state level of energy-saving technologies and concern for environmental protection contribute to the active introduction of innovative technology that meets all standards. The priority task is to increase the efficiency and improve the environmental performance of heat supply systems. Thanks to this, in Europe, gas condensing boilers with high demanded characteristics occupy a leading position among equipment for heating and hot water supply. Since the third quarter of 2015, the EU countries have decided to switch at new construction projects in the residential sector only to autonomous heating systems based on condensing heat generators, in some countries the installation of any other gas boilers, except for condensing boilers, is prohibited.
