Ideal Commercial Boilers is committed to ensuring that all its condensing boilers in its range outperforms current regulations in terms of output, efficiency and energy use, including its new offering the Ideal Imax Xtra EL.
The latest addition to its floor standing condensing boiler range, the Imax Xtra EL launched in January 2016, is the only UK boiler to have been awarded a Class 6 NOx rating from the European Standard EN 483: 2000 relating to gas fired central heating boilers, according to the company. Several have already been installed into the educational, religious and manufacturing market sectors.
NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) are emissions of highly reactive gases which contain nitrogen and oxygen, with the main source of NOx emissions being the combustion of fuels in motor vehicles, furnaces and boilers. European Standard EN 483: 2000 awards ratings of one to six to products responsible for NOx emissions, with six being the highest performing NOx class meaning it has the lowest emissions. The company says the new boiler is the only UK boiler to have achieved a Class 6 rating with an NOx result of less than 40mg/kWh, achieving maximum points on the BREEAM scale which assesses the environmental impact of buildings over a range of criteria including energy use and efficiency.
The new Imax Xtra EL from Ideal Commercial Boilers is designed for commercial applications requiring larger outputs in a smaller scale package. With its simple control interface, robust aluminium silicon alloy heat exchanger and large backlit display, the Imax Xtra EL is designed to provide straightforward installation, commissioning and servicing as well as being easy to manoeuvre due to its relatively compact size. In addition, the Imax Xtra EL, available in ten models with outputs from 320 to 1240 kW, has an extremely small carbon footprint as it outperforms the 2015 ErP requirements with extremely high efficiencies up to 109.8% part load at 30% output.
