H2ydrogem, the hydrogen catalytic combustor Why hydrogen Hydrogen really can be the energy vector of the future. Even though this element isn't freely present in nature, its supply is practically endless: remember that where there is water, there is hydrogen. Together with oxygen, in fact, hydrogen forms the water molecule (H2O) - the most common compound on the earth.

Unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen is a carbonfree energy vector. This is a great advantage in the energy production process: combustion doesn't produce any emissions of CO2, which is the gas emitted during the combustion of all fossil sources and is the main cause of the greenhouse effect.

RENEWABLE SOURCES

The “hydrogen” project and “zero impact” air conditioning We began our Research & Development in the field of hydrogen with the highest goal in terms of sustainability: to produce a “zero emissions” cycle for producing thermal energy.

RENEWABLE SOURCES

Hydrogen production and storage Using electricity produced from renewable sources (solar radiation - photovoltaic panels; wind - wind power plant; water - hydroelectric power station), the electrolysis of the water produces “zero impact” hydrogen: the waste from this “processing” (already carbon-free) is pure oxygen.

The hydrogen produced via electrolysis can be stored in different forms and subsequently used to produce electricity by means of fuel cells.

The thermal energy is produced by a fuel cell during the electric operation phase only. For the purposes of heating water only, we have conceived H2ydroGEM.

H2ydroGEM, the catalytic combustor The combustor is a condensation boiler based on an innovative catalytic hydrogen burner.

The burner (where the reaction takes place) is powered simply with gaseous hydrogen (the fuel) and atmospheric air (with the combustive oxygen). Inside the reaction channel there is a suitable catalyser agent that allows the hydrogen and oxygen to combine spontaneously in a water molecule, at the same time freeing a quantity of heat. Heat is removed by a series of exchangers (powered with system water) built into the combustor. The temperature of the water heated, this way is ideal for thermalsanitary systems, especially low temperatures radiant ones: in fact, these conditions guarantee maximum combustor yield and top comfort for users.
