Decentralized Gas Boiler¤

Introduction¤

The LT DEC Gas Boiler technology uses Natural Gas as fuel input to produce heat with a thermal efficiency of 0.9. The amount of heat released by this technology depends on the heating value of the fuel (Methane LHV = 50 MJ/kg), the mass flow rate and the thermal efficiency.
