Barriers/future developments: water needs + low air conditioning needs
• scale it down it for single-family homes
• in Europe, only one manufacturer to-date
Page 4 (Robur - Italy)
5. More energy efficient natural gas technologies
High modulation boiler
Condensing boiler with high turn-down ratio
Thermal power can go from 0.9-1 to 9-10 kWheat (Bosch) or from 0.8 to 12 kWth
(Vergne Innovation) only 2 products
Reduced start/stop cycles
a solution for single new residential buildings with low space heating needs
Low thermal power no instantaneous hot water production produce
hot water with water storage tank
could be interesting to combine it with a solar water heater
Barriers/future developments:
• in development and to be tested
• not on the market yet: 2013?
a technology to keep in mind for energy efficient buildings

6. Hybrid technologies
Electric heat pump added to a condensing boiler
• Heat pump A/W: P<3kWth will cover base load space heating needs and air
conditioning needs.
• Condensing boiler: 24/30 kWth to cover winter space heating peaks and hot
water production. Works like a back up energy and technology.
Choose which system works through control device
according to the yield or energy price at any time
Mono box
Single houses or individual space heating
system in multi-family buildings
Barriers/future developments:
• warning: the higher the electric heat pump COP the 2 units
less natural gas consumed by the system
• control system to switch between the boiler and the
HP according to energy prices or yield

7. Hybrid technologies
Solar water heater and natural gas condensing boiler
To produce hot water with solar energy. Natural gas used for space heating
and as a back up energy for hot water production when there’s no sun!
Hot water
50% hot water needs covered on
average by solar energy per year Solar panel
Back up energy
Warm up the water during winter and
can cover all hot water needs in summer Control
device
Single houses or multi-family buildings Pump
Cold water
Barriers/future developments: 22 sq ft to 43 sq ft of solar panel area (1-2 panels)
• size the panel area to cover only 80-85% Hot water storage tank or instantaneous production
of the hot water needs of the hottest
month to avoid superheating problems. To avoid refrigerant freeze during Winter: 2 solutions:
• reduce costs glycol refrigerant or a self drained design

8. Electricity generation from NG
Natural gas micro-CHP
Condensing boiler for hot water and space heating needs + Stirling engine to
produce electricity
Condensing boiler
81% HHV rated yield
2 burners
• primary one = 6-8 kWheat
• secondary one = 24 kWheat
Stirling engine
Electric power = 1 kW
Source De Dietrich Source BAXI
yield ≈ 15%
Barriers/future developments:
• connect several systems in series (problems Single houses or individual space
with the control device) heating in multi-family buildings
• reduce costs drastically!
• French market in 2013

10000h= 2 to 4 years of operating (cleaning the filters, oil change, timing belt, spark plug,…)This technology could also be used for single American houses since small power units are available but what about the costs (investment + operating) compared to a condensing boiler + air conditioner? EER=1.26 W/W 4.3 BTU/W (1.26*3.412)
HHV=High Heating ValueEER= 0.63 HHV so in BTU/W = 2.15

2m2 to 4m2 of solar panel areaBetter less solar panel area than too muchSolar panels= flat ones. Vacuum are more expensive, break easily during installation
50%-80% electricity needs of the house are covered over a year in absolute value. But demand and production have to match and the more you use aspace heating scheduling system that will start the boiler before people get back home or wake up, the more electricity you’ll send directly to the electric grid.Not interested to send the electricity to the grid because right now it’s bought by EDF at the same price than the kWh of electricity you use from the electric grid. Advice is to self-consume the electricity produced by the system and always use a storage tank for hot water production to maximize electricity production (will be produced during heating mode for both space heating and hot water production).
1/2.58 = 38.7% = yield of the power plant of all power plants were from oil energy.
