condensing boilers Explanation: According to Langenscheidt Technik, Brennwerttechnik is condensing technology. A condensing boiler is a high efficiency modern boiler that incorporates an extra heat exchanger so that the hot exhaust gases lose much of their energy to pre-heat the water in the boiler system. When working at peak efficiency, the water vapour produced in the combustion process condenses back into liquid form releasing the latent heat of vaporisation. A side effect is that this water, known as condensate, which is usually acidic, has to be piped away to a drain or soakaway. http://www.nef.org.uk/energyadvice/boilers.htm Langenscheidt Fachwörterbuch Technik und angewandte Wissenschaften |
