Let&#8217;s discover its features and what type to choose<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>There are many ways and many devices to generate heat inside a space, ensuring the conditions of thermal comfort suitable for a home, and all are based on the presence of a heat generator.<\/p>\n<p>Designing a thermal system means, following the calculation of the thermal loads of the structure, choosing the most suitable type of heat generator and then sizing it and sizing the distribution networks of the system.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-meant-by-heat-generator\">What is meant by heat generator?<\/h2>\n<p>The heat generator is the heart of the heating system: it is capable of meeting the heating needs of the spaces by transferring thermal energy to the heat transfer fluid.<\/p>\n<p>Heat generators can be classified based on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the <strong>energy source<\/strong> used to produce heat (such as gas, electricity, or biomass);<\/li>\n<li>the state in which the fuel used is made available (gaseous\/liquid\/solid in the case of boilers);<\/li>\n<li>the installation method;<\/li>\n<li>the heat transfer fluid leaving the generator and circulating in the system, generally air or water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The place where the generator is installed is often called a &#8220;thermal plant&#8221;; in the case of public and tertiary structures, these can be actual rooms dedicated only to the generator. While, in the case of residential buildings, the thermal plant often coincides with storage rooms, laundries, or balconies.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-most-common-heat-generators-on-the-market\">What are the most common heat generators on the market?<\/h2>\n<p>The most common heat generators on the market are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the boiler;<\/li>\n<li>the biomass system;<\/li>\n<li>the heat pump;<\/li>\n<li>the hybrid system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let&#8217;s analyze together their characteristics and functionalities.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Boiler<\/h3>\n<p>The boiler is the most commonly used heat generator in homes. It allows the generation and transfer of thermal energy to the heat transfer fluid through the combustion of various products.<\/p>\n<p>The fuel reacts with the oxygen in the atmospheric air and generates a chemical oxidation reaction, producing heat and gaseous combustion products.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28770\" style=\"width: 809px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28770\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28770 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/biblus.accasoftware.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/boiler_diagram.jpg\" alt=\"Boiler diagram\" width=\"799\" height=\"429\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-28770\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28770 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/biblus.accasoftware.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/boiler_diagram.jpg\" alt=\"Boiler diagram\" width=\"799\" height=\"429\" \/><\/noscript> Boiler diagram<\/p><\/div>\n<p>They can be classified based on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>the type of fuel used<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>Methane generators: they can be open or sealed and require a nearby methane gas distribution network. They take up little space, generally preferred for outdoor installation, and are cost-effective;<\/li>\n<li>LPG generators: they are a valid solution where methane gas is not available, but they require a dedicated and safe space for the storage tank of Liquid Propane Gas. LPG is considered clean and non-polluting. The task of an LPG boiler is to maintain the power of the gas and air mixture constant, ensuring high efficiency standards;<\/li>\n<li>Diesel generators are used where it is difficult to find other fuels. They generally have higher emissions and lower efficiency, but the fuel cost is extremely low. They require a dedicated space for the fuel storage tank, which can sometimes be incorporated;<\/li>\n<li>Electric generators do not have a burner but use electric resistances to heat water, which goes to the system, or air, which is then transferred and directed through a fan;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>the evacuation of combustion products<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>Type A generator, also known as open chamber, is not connected to a flue gas duct, which means it takes air from the room where it is installed and expels the combustion products into the same room;<\/li>\n<li>Type B generator is always an open chamber, so it takes air from the room where it is installed but has a flue gas duct that expels the combustion products outside. The draft can be natural or forced, in the latter case, a fan ensures the expulsion of fumes;<\/li>\n<li>Type C generator, also known as sealed chamber or forced draft, has an isolated combustion chamber. Nowadays, all condensing boilers on the market are of this type.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>heat management<\/strong>: there are generators with constant temperature if, indeed, they maintain a fixed temperature when in operation, or generators with variable temperature, which activate based on demand and climatic conditions. The latter generally have higher efficiency values.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Over the years, there has been a massive shift from gas boilers to condensing boilers, given their much higher efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Condensing boilers are generators designed to maximize energy efficiency by recovering energy from exhaust fumes. In these boilers, the water vapor in the fumes is cooled to the dew point, thus transforming it into condensate. This process allows the recovery of latent energy used to heat the water for the heating system or domestic hot water production.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Biomass Boilers<\/h3>\n<p>With a biomass boiler, renewable thermal energy is produced by burning biomass, biological and plant-based residual and waste materials.<\/p>\n<p>The most common generators in this category are pellet or wood chip boilers: both originate from untreated wood processing waste, but pellets are made by pressing these dried scraps, while wood chips are simply crushed and transformed into uniform small pieces.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/biblus.accasoftware.com\/en\/optimizing-biomass-boiler-efficiency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">biomass boiler<\/a> allows the generation of renewable thermal energy because, when burned correctly, wood emits the same amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the plant during its formation, thus not altering the environmental balance.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Heat Pumps<\/h3>\n<p>A heat pump is a machine capable of transferring heat from a lower temperature environment to a higher temperature system.<\/p>\n<p>The heat pump extracts heat from a natural source, air, water, or the ground to transfer it to the conditioned environment.<\/p>\n<p>It is configured as a closed circuit, consisting of four components: a <strong>compressor<\/strong>, a <strong>condenser<\/strong>, an <strong>expansion valve<\/strong>, and an <strong>evaporator<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The efficiency of an electric heat pump (called COP) is always higher than that of a gas boiler; this generator is indeed a sustainable solution capable of reducing energy consumption while meeting all air conditioning needs, even in summer.<\/p>\n<p>To delve deeper into the topic, I recommend taking a look at the article &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/biblus.accasoftware.com\/en\/a-guide-to-heat-pumps-types-and-costs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heat Pump: How It Works, Types, and Costs<\/a>&#8220;;<\/p>\n<h3>4. Hybrid System<\/h3>\n<p>A <strong>hybrid system<\/strong> combines two heat generators: a heat pump and a condensing boiler. The former is generally electrically powered, while the latter is powered by methane or LPG.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28771\" style=\"width: 809px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28771\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28771 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/biblus.accasoftware.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/hybrid_diagram.jpg\" alt=\"Hybrid system diagram\" width=\"799\" height=\"394\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-28771\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28771 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/biblus.accasoftware.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/hybrid_diagram.jpg\" alt=\"Hybrid system diagram\" width=\"799\" height=\"394\" \/><\/noscript> Hybrid system diagram<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Having two heat generators means choosing the most convenient operation at all times, thanks to the presence of a control and regulation device that prioritizes one machine over another based on the actual heating needs and external conditions.<\/p>\n<p>This system adapts well to any climatic situation and can be directly connected to the existing system, requiring only the replacement of the previous heat generator.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, with high external temperatures, only the heat pump operates; as the temperatures approach zero, the system operates in a combined manner, activating both the heat pump and the condensing boiler. For very cold temperatures, only the condensing boiler operates.<\/p>\n<p>This way, gas and electricity consumption is minimized, while simultaneously reducing CO2 emissions, resulting in economic and environmental benefits.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-choose-a-heat-generator\">How to choose a heat generator?<\/h2>\n<p>To properly choose a heat generator, it is important to consider a series of important aspects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Building characteristics<\/strong>: dimensions, orientation, and structural conformation greatly influence the energy behavior of a building and the achievement of certain levels of internal comfort.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Type of intervention<\/strong>: if you are constructing a building, there will certainly be fewer practical constraints compared to those present in a renovation project. In the former case, it is possible to choose a state-of-the-art generator that guarantees very high performance levels. In the case of renovation, unless it is a major renovation, the choice of the generator is often constrained by the distribution system, existing emission terminals, and available spaces;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Available energy source<\/strong>: the types of generators vary depending on the energy vector you want to use. Gas, electricity, or biomass, the choice is often dictated by local availability and costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"international-product-banner-desktop\" style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/dynamic-energy-analysis-and-simulation-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/enfold-child\/img\/banner_prodotto\/termus-plus-en.jpg\" alt=\"termus-plus\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/enfold-child\/img\/banner_prodotto\/termus-plus-en.jpg\" alt=\"termus-plus\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"international-product-banner-mobile\" style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/dynamic-energy-analysis-and-simulation-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/enfold-child\/img\/banner_prodotto_mobile\/termus-plus-en.jpg\" alt=\"termus-plus\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/enfold-child\/img\/banner_prodotto_mobile\/termus-plus-en.jpg\" alt=\"termus-plus\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A heat generator is essential for the operation of a heating system.
