DHN Gas Boiler¤

Introduction¤

District heating is a system for distributing heat from a centralized source to consumers via a network of underground insulated pipes carrying hot water. Centralized heat generation avoids the need for individual boilers or electric heaters in every building. The DHN Boiler Gas technology uses a centralized Boiler to heat up water with Natural Gas as input fuel. The thermal efficiency of the Boiler is 0.927.
