Airgon A22 Gas removal and energy improvement testing

核心问题是确认Airgon机组的说法，即在指定的测试设置下，连续的空气和夹带气体的去除可以提高系统性能。具体证明，从水系统中去除氮气和氧气可以提高热量输出，从而减少燃料消耗，以及这如何a)节省燃料，b)延长锅炉和系统部件的寿命，以及c)显著减少计划外维护。该装置的以前版本显示加热系统性能提高了15%-20%，虽然未经测试，但理论上证明了其他好处。挑战在于，这些改进目前无法预先确定，这意味着无法满足标准评估程序(SAP)的认证标准。主要挑战是，建筑研究机构(BRE)表示，他们正在寻找一种方法，通过这种方法可以衡量性能恢复和简单的效率改进，以获得认证。Airgon通过逆转加热系统水中溶解气体造成的恶化，将湿加热系统恢复到接近最佳的性能，而且由于所有系统都是独一无二的，因此没有一种尺寸适合所有结果。到目前为止，我们还没有任何人表现出能够与我们合作实现这些目标的信心。无-以前进行过这种类型的测试，已知的恶化程度模拟了各种常见问题，并测量了从水溶液中去除夹带气体并记录其最低饱和度以确定有效性所需的时间。目前还没有标准或确定的方法可以应用来获得这些值。我们可以使用亨利常数确定给定气体在水相中的溶解水平，并测量安装Airgon前后的结果，以确定每种气体被去除了多少。然后，可以使用结果来确定热传递方面的任何改进和能源消耗的减少。然而，使用这种方法确定的值的不确定性可能相当高。此外，挑战是没有人准确地做到了这一点，这构成了我们机组节能性能的声明的基础。因此，我们需要先进的热力学研究来准确确定气体在水相中的溶解度。

The core problem is confirming the Airgon unit's claims that continuous air and entrained gas removal improves system performance under specified test settings.Specifically proving that removing Nitrogen and Oxygen from the water system improves heat output for less fuel consumed and how this a) results in savings, b) improves the life of the boiler and system components, and c) significantly reduces unplanned maintenance.The previous versions of the device show between 15-20% improvement in heating system performance and whilst untested, notionally proves the other benefits. The challenges are that these improvements cannot currently be determined in advance, the result of which means that the accreditation criteria for a Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) are impossible to meet.The major challenge is that Building Research Establishment (BRE) have stated that they are looking to determine a means whereby performance recovery as well as simple efficiency improvements can be measured to obtain accreditation. Airgon restores wet heating systems to near optimal performance by reversing deterioration caused by the effect of dissolved gasses in the heating system water, and because all systems are unique there is no one size fits all result.Nobody we have engaged to date has shown any confidence of being able to for work with us on these objectives. None-have carried out tests of this type before with known levels of deterioration simulating a variety of common issues and measured the time taken to remove entrained gasses from an aqueous solution and record their lowest levels of saturation to determine effectiveness.There is no standard or determined methodology that can be applied to obtain these values. We can determine the levels of a given gas dissolved in water phase using Henry's Constant and measure the results pre and post installation of Airgon to determine how much of each gas has been removed. The results can then be used to determine any improvements in thermal transfer and reduction in energy consumption. However, the uncertainty of the determined values using this methodology could be quite high. Moreover, the challenge is that nobody has done it precisely and this forms the basis for the claims of the energy saving properties of our unit. Therefore, we need advanced thermodynamic studies to accurately determine the solubility of gases in the aqueous phase.
