Riello says its RX1800 1.8MW premix burners, commissioned by contractor T-Squared, have shown exceptionally low NOx levels of just 9-10ppm (around 20mg/kWh) throughout the modulation range. This is around half the 40mg/kWh maximum required by some local authorities and also below the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) criteria of 24mg/kWh. Consequently, the burner upgrade enabled the aging cast-iron sectional boilers to comply with current and anticipated NOx regulations, as well as improve energy efficiency – thereby extending the life of the boilers. w | www.rielloburners.co.uk Heating performance improved New cycloidal gearboxes
