Nano-Heat

Indroduction to Nano-Heat hydrogen-ready heaters

Nano-Heat is a gas fueled radiant heater with a difference. Unlike gas plaque heaters the Nano-Heat hydrogen-ready heater uses either LPG or NG but it produces its heat not by flame based combustion, but by a catalytic reaction. The Nano-Heat heater is hydrogen ready meaning that when hydrogen gets mixed into the gas supply then the heater will run on the new fuel without adjsutment, up to a 20% hydrogen concentration. 

How Nano-Heat hydrogen-ready heater works

• Fuel enters the rear of the heater which is a gas tight stainless steel pan.
• The fuel is dispersed by means of a dispersion tube which assists this process.
• The fuel passes through a fabric pad which acts as both an insulator but also aids dispersion of the gas acting in resistance on the flow.
• Fuel then comes into contact with the support bed i.e. Catalytic pad which is pre heated to the desired temperature by the internal heating element.
• Oxidation occurs when the fuel and oxygen from the surrounding air meet within the support bed. The support bed has two levels of protection firstly a fibre scrim and secondly a wire mesh which are both held in place by a gas tight stainless steel trim.

Safety Controls to Nano-Heat hydrogen-ready heaters

1. Low temperature sensor will activate if the temperature of the catalyst falls below the
   minimum operational temperature immediately de-energising the gas valve and going
   into cool down mode.
   2. Over heat sensor will activate if the internal ambient temperature rises above the
   maximum threshold resulting in an over temperature fault. Gas valve and pre heat
   element will immediately de-energise putting the system into cool down mode.
   3. The fan has a built in thermal overload switch which if activated will de energise the gas
   valve and pre heat element signalling fan failure.
