1 Introduction
Following the work done on appliances < 120kW [1], this project consists in
evaluating as accurately as possible the overall real NOx emissions from
larger gas boilers on the Danish market. The results of the work are to be
used to build up knowledge on the environmental impact of gas utilisations
that is useful for instance for the present discussion of the actual taxation of
NOx emissions of appliances.

Similarly to the study done on boilers below 120 kW, we have a quite accu-
rate and detailed picture of the population of appliances including brand,
model and gas consumption that are registered by the Danish gas distribu-
tion companies. The NOx emission for a great number of appliances is or
has been measured by GASTECH. The work consisted in combining the
two sources in order to assess the overall emissions of the entire market
population. The GASTECH data was supplemented by DGC measurements
aiming at crosschecking the measured data and to cover some segments hav-
ing a large impact, for which no data was available.

As for the boilers below 120 KW, the boilers above 120 kW are used for
space heating, but many are used for other purposes in the industry (process
etc.) and for district heating.

1.1 Summary
The present figure (calculated with 2011 data) for the emission factor of
large gas boilers/burners (population above 120 kW of heat input) is 34,4
g/GJ.
The figure is expected to decrease in the future with the replacement of old-
er burners with new technologies. The pace of decrease could very much
depend on the regulation that would apply in the future. Currently the an-
nual decrease is about 0,3g/GJ.

2 Work method and description of the work done

2.1 Overall method
The calculations are based on the knowledge of
- The population of boilers/burners installed including year of installation
and annual gas consumption. The gas distribution companies in Den-
mark are registering all gas appliances installed including boiler/burner.
In the following we will call this database the population database.
- Extensive in-situ measurements (more than 13700 measurements on
about 6500 appliances) during the commissioning phase of the installa-
tion or during the maintenance of the boilers/burners. Those measure-
ments were carried out by the Danish energy service company Gastech-
Energi A/S (GASTECH) who accepted to share the data with DGC for
the sake of this study. In the following we will call this database the
GASTECH database.

The latter covers a great share of the actual population.

The market data (population and gas consumption) is combined with statis-
tics by burner (From GASTECH database) to calculate annual NOx emis-
sions.

2.2 Comparison with the work done on smaller appliances

The method we have used for the larger appliances is similar in the “philos-
ophy” to the one used for small appliances, but we have adapted it to the
fact that:
1) We have no laboratory tests, but field tests from GASTECH.
2) We have much more data including - in most of the cases - multiple
measurements on the same appliance model and covering many indi-
vidual burner/boilers of the existing population.
3) We have no technology differentiation.
4) Because of 2 and 3 we can proceed with direct calculation on the basis
of the model names installed with data measured on the same burn-
er/boilers (for smaller appliances we have made models for the different
existing technologies and calculated emission of each appliance by
technology type).
5) Furthermore, the results of measurements show that the NOx emission
is rather constant over the modulation range, which allows simplifica-
tions in the modelling/calculation of the annual NOx emissions.

2.3 Definitions
The following definitions are used in the report

 Pmin: Minimum heat input of a modulating boiler.

 Pmax: Maximum heat input of a modulating boiler.
 Appliance: In the report we will often use boiler/burner instead of ap-
pliance as both burner and boiler information is included in the data-
bases. However, when known (in most of the cases), the burner is used
as reference as the burner will be determining for NOx emissions. In
some cases, the burner is not mentioned in the databases, and we use the
boiler as reference.
 daf: dry-air free. Used for the emissions of NOx expressed in ppm to
stoichiometric conditions combustion - dry gas. See also Annex 2.
 EF: NOx emission factor expressed in g/GJ.

2.4 Units and conversions

NOx measured in the flue gas is diluted and needs to be calculated taking
into account this dilution linked to the air excess. This is done using the O2
DGC-report 6

or CO2 measured in the flue gas [1], and ANNEX 2 describes in detail how
this is done, and how values measured in the flue (in ppm) are converted to
neutral combustion dry gas (dry-air free or “daf”) (in ppm) or in other units
such as mg/kWh.

a) Calculation of neutral combustion dry gas (daf)

The calculation of the values to reference condition is performed in order to
express emission under conditions of neutral combustion (stoichiometric)
and dry gas. The measurements used for the present project are all per-
formed on dry flue gas sample (case of DGC test procedure and GASTECH
procedure).

The value in dry-air free emission in ppm (NOx 1) is calculated from the
measured concentration in the flue (NOx 0),
either using O2m measurement with:
O2 air
NOx 1 = (NOx 0)m  [ppm]
O2 air  O2 m
or using CO2m measurement with:
CO2 n
NOx 1 = (X0)m  [ppm]
CO2 m
O2air is the concentration of O2 in the combustion air.
CO2n is the neutral combustion CO2 percentage for the given gas.

b) Emission expressed in mg/kWh

NOx 2 = 3.6  NOx 1    Vfd/(Hi  288/273)

= 3.413  NOx 1    Vfd/Hi
Where
 is the density of component NOx at 0 °C (for NOx as NO2:
2.054 kg/m3)

Hi is the net calorific value: Expressed in MJ/m3 at 15 °C (gas

volume at 15 °C and 101, 325 kPa)

Vfd: Volume of dry combustion products per unit of volume

or mass of gas during stoichiometric (neutral) combustion
m3/m3 or m3/kg.
DGC-report 7

To make it simple:

NOx 2 = F  NOx 1

The conversion factor F depends on the gas composition.

For G20 type gas the conversion factor is

1 ppm (daf) NOx =1.764 mg/kWh
= 1.764/3,6 g/GJ = 0,49 g/GJ
and was used so far (for P< 120 kW).

A more accurate calculation with the existing gas composition (2014 -

source www.energinet.dk) gives a slightly different figure.

The following calculations and results are made with a conversion fac-
tor of 1,768 as calculated for Danish gas (2014) and not with the stand-
ard value.

2.5 Work method

The work was organized in 3 phases:

1) Phase 1
Establishing from the boiler/burner population database a clean and
DGC-report 9

detailed list of existing appliance population (by brand and model) and
the gas demand of installations.

2) Phase 2
Making statistics for NOx from emissions of each brand and model in
the GASTECH database. This also includes a validation of the data
measured by GASTECH.

3) Phase 3
Evaluating the total annual NOx emission by combining the information
from 1 and 2.

2.5.1 Method for Phase 1: Identifying the appliance population in

detail (by brand and model) in the installation database
This is done with the existing boiler/burner population database from the
gas distribution companies that includes the main information we need to
know
1) Brand name and model
2) Year of installation
3) Gas consumption

The first action consisted in correcting the spelling of names (registered by

different people, with or without details on burner type, removing applianc-
es not in the scope like domestic boilers etc.) and compiling a database to
get an aggregated picture of the population of appliances. The recording of
the appliance name may differ from one gas distribution company to another
or even within the same gas distribution company, so we had to correct or
interpret some of the model names. It required quite a large effort to go
through the several thousands of lines of the database and correct the appli-
ance model names and also correct the spelling of the manufacturers’
names.
We do not calculate each individual boiler separately, but we calculate
each model separately after having done the aggregation (this means that
each model will represent a number, n, of installed appliances). The gas
consumption used for each model is the average obtained with the given
model of boiler.
DGC-report 10

Figure 2 Boiler/burner database

Note that the list we have used was created from different lists/tables cover-
ing different installation sizes (see 4.1).
In many cases, the same burner or boiler type can be found in several/tables
(most of the burners' modulation range can be adjusted, with the result that
they appear in several lists) (see 4.1).

2.5.2 Method for Phase 2: Evaluating the nominal NOx emissions

of each brand and model
For this phase, we did not make any segmentation/differentiation by tech-
nologies of the appliances on the market. This was not necessary, nor possi-
ble: As mentioned, an extensive database of measurements carried out by
GASTECH was used and can be used directly on each model of the popula-
tion database.

2.5.2.1 Information on data measured by GASTECH

 Purpose of the measurement
Data measured by GASTECH were found either during the commissioning
phase of the installation or during maintenance.
DGC-report 11

 Measurement equipment used

The equipment used is the Ecom J2KN, able to measure O2, CO, NO and
NO2.
For the measurement, the accuracy given by the manufacturer is < ±1%. See
Annex 6 for further specifications.

Figure 3 Ecom J2KN

 Procedure of measurement - Test method

Once the burner load is set, the operator waits for the combustion to be sta-
ble before executing the measurement.

 Data measured by GASTECH

In general, the test is performed by measuring the emissions over the modu-
lation range at Pmin and Pmax
For each load, the following parameters are measured:
- Burner heat input (kW)
- CO2 concentration in the flue gas (%)
- O2 concentration in the flue gas (%)
- NOx measured (ppm not corrected)
- Flue gas temperature (°C)
- Efficiency (%) (“flue gas” efficiency, calculated with only losses from
the flue gas)
DGC-report 12

 Number of data available

More than 11700 measurement points are available. Note that for the vast
majority there are measurements both at Pmin and Pmax as indicated above.
This results in measurements on about 5800 burners/boilers. Some of the
measurement results cannot be used for the following reasons:
- Missing data for one or several measurements (CO2/O2 or NOx).
- We could not connect all names in GASTECH database with the names
of appliances of the population database.
- Insufficient information on burner (e.g. “Bentone” without the type).
- Appliance out of scope (e.g. Some fuel oil appliances/burners, etc.)
- Appliances < 120 kW
- Etc.

Furthermore, we have deliberately given low priority to or ignored appli-

ances that are in the bottom of the ranking list, as their impact is small (they
will be given "default" emissions in our calculations).

This resulted in a total of 3700 measurements (valid data) (on the 11700
available), so about 31% were effectively used for the work done.

This may seem to be a low number compared to the potential measurements,

but as we will see later on we were able to cover more than 70% of the pop-
ulation once weighted with the gas consumption by focussing on the appli-
ances that rank high in impacting the overall emission factor.

2.5.2.2 GASTECH database “cleaning”

As for the population database, the first action consisted in correcting the
spelling of names etc. in order to make the statistics work possible and also
to harmonize the names with the first database in order to have a clear and
unique identification of each burner/boiler for the two databases.

The GASTECH data include a line for each measurement.

This means that for the same burner/boiler, a measurement at Pmin and at
Pmax will translate into two different lines. However, this is not systematic,
and for a number of cases we have only Pmin or only Pmax.
DGC-report 13

Table 3 GASTECH database

We proceeded with a (more or less) line per line check, looking at each
measurement Note that in the original file as shown above there are two
lines per burner/boiler: one at Pmax (M2) and one at Pmin (M1) Lines with
missing information (NOx/O2 or CO2) - not allowing NOx emission assess-
ment - were removed.

Once this was done, we proceeded with statistical calculations on the

cleaned list for both Pmin and Pmax.

2.5.2.3 Crosscheck of the test results of GASTECH. Comparison with

DGC test data on the same installations
In order to check the validity of the data used for the present analysis, we
proceeded to a comparison of measurements of GASTECH with measure-
ments carried out by DGC on the same installations, but not at the same
time.
For that purpose we chose some installations, for which we had GASTECH
data and made our own DGC measurements at the locations/installations
shown in Table 4.

The two sets of data obtained are shown in Figure 4 (NOx emission daf).

Figure 4 Crosscheck of DGC/GASTEC measurements

From the results obtained we can conclude that the NOx emission difference
measured is low, also considering that external parameters (air temperature,
humidity etc.) are influencing the real emissions of the burners.
DGC-report 15

2.5.3 Method for Phase 3: Evaluation of the total annual NOx emis-
sions
The next phase consisted in evaluating the NOx emission for each individual
model of the aggregated population and calculating the sum of these group
values.
Before we can proceed, we need to know how to take into account the pa-
rameters that we know may have an influence, and in particular the load.
We, therefore, made preliminary observations and analyses of GASTECH
data for the NOx emissions.

1) Observation 1: The emissions mostly depend on the burner and to a

lesser degree on the boiler, on which it is installed.

Below is an example of a given burner installed on various boilers.

Figure 5 Relative variation of NOx emissions for the burner WG40 in-
stalled on various boilers
Data: GASTECH Forbrændingsdata industriinstallationerv03. Sheet2

This, however, is not always true, as some specific installation may show
another result: In the above figure the emissions of a given burner are in fact
clearly higher on steam boilers. This is expected to be due to a higher tem-
perature. Apart from this, the emissions are at the same level (avg. 49,1 ppm
daf with a Standard deviation of “only” 13, and 9 without the steam boilers).
DGC-report 16

The variations are low and are more or less in the range of repeatability that
is observed at DGC for NOx emission measurements on smaller boilers
(< 120 kW).

The same type of result was seen on the other burners showing a very nar-
row emission range, and sometimes outliers that can be explained. The next
example on the Weishaupt G3 burner shows a single burner within the
group with a low NOx emission. This is explained by a very high air excess
(O2 about 14% instead of about 6% for all the other burners). We have no
further information on this installation; perhaps the process requires such
high air excess.

Conclusion 1: In the vast majority of the cases, there are only small var-
iations of NOx emissions of the same burner when installed on various
boilers, unless the boiler is a steam boiler or used for a specific process.

2) Observation 2: Very low dependency on Pmin/Pmax

The following graph shows the difference between emission at Pmin and
Pmax for a Weishaupt WG40 burner.
DGC-report 17

Figure 7 Comparison of NOx emissions at Pmax and Pmin for the burner

Data: GASTECH Forbrændingsdata industriinstallationerv03. Sheet2

Again here this is true, but not for the few steam boilers.

As the steam boilers have a very small part of the market, the impact on the
overall NOx emission is not determining.

Table 5 compares the emissions obtained at Pmin and Pmax for the 3700
valid data. The largest differences are obtained by a "smaller" boiler in the
smaller range of the heat input (e.g. Buderus Logano, Viessmann boilers).
These are technologies for which it is known that emissions at Pmin are
much lower [1].

However, this is compensated by technologies where emissions are higher at

Pmin. As a result, the average difference is low (3%) and the average
weighted difference (weighted with the burner power and the number of
burners) is lower than 1%.

Conclusion 2: We can use an average of emission Pmin/Pmax without

harming the accuracy of the results.
3) Conclusions for the calculation method

The following principle for the work method was used:

DGC-report 19

a) Using average value by burner type without making more detailed

segmentation (which would be difficult/impossible to execute) is a
valid method as long as the population used is representative of the
actual population.
b) Using the average of emission Pmax/Pmin is valid as well, because
the differences of emissions at Pmax and Pmin are small. This sim-
plification will facilitate quite a lot the work, as we will not need to
investigate the modulating strategy of the appliances. This has
shown to be a difficult point for the domestic boilers investigated in
the first part of the project. In the present case, it would be even
more complicated as the Pmax rating of the same burner is very dif-
ferent from boiler to boiler (Pmax and Pmin can be adjusted on most
burners).

2.5.4 Calculation method for the total annual NOx emissions

The details of the method are described step by step in para. 5.3.
The following method principle was applied.

TE= E1 + E2
With:
TE = Total emissions
E1 = Emission of the population, for which we have measurements
E2 = Emission of the population, for which we do not have measurements

Ideally, if the GASTECH database would perfectly match the population

database, we could consider making an emission calculation for each indi-
vidual appliance. However, it has shown that this matching is difficult, and
that there are too many uncertainties on the exact location of the appliances
and designation of appliances for us to make an extended one-by-one appli-
ance calculation. However, we tried to execute this matching as well as pos-
sible and to make conclusions from the results achieved See para. 2.5.6.
The method we have used is, therefore, to derivate (from GASTECH data)
an average NOx emission factor for each model of appliances (EMFi) (e.g.
Weishaupt WG 40N) and to apply the same emission to the whole popula-
tion of appliances of this given model.
DGC-report 20

Ei = ni  Qi  EMFi [kg] : Sum of the emissions for the whole group of appli-
ances of the given model “i”, where Qi is the average gas consumption of
the group of appliances of the same model "i".

E1 = ∑Ei
E2 emission is calculated with default emission factor (the same weighted
average emission factor as used for E1).

2.5.5 Influence of using average emission factors by group of mod-

el appliances instead of individual appliance by appliance
As mentioned we tried to make a one-to-one match between the GASTECH
database and the population database. This proved to be difficult, but we
were able to match data for about 2000 addresses, and out of those about
650 were selected (covering model of appliances with reasonable impact on
the final result, eliminating those with uncertainty on appliances installed
etc.).

The conclusion from the work done is as follows:

There are few differences between the value of emission factor by group
when we use the average emission measured and the emission weighted
with the volume of gas used. In some cases the emission factor is larger, in
some case it is smaller. Based on 650 data, the weighted average results in
an emission factor that is 1% higher compared to the emission factor
calculated as a plain average of the individual emission factors.

As a result, we can accept the simplification that the average emission factor
of a group of appliances of a given model does not depend on the individual
gas consumption of all appliances used to calculate the emission factor av-
erage. The main reason for that is that emissions and gas consumption with-
in a single group of a given model do not vary so much.

This is, of course, only applicable for a group of appliances of the same type
(= same brand and same model).

This differentiation (column A3) was not really used in the project, and the
tables were merged into a single one; but for practical reason we have con-
tinued to keep this reference/info in the database. As a result the same burn-
er or boiler can sometimes be found in two (or more) lines of the merged
Table 6.

Once cleaned, the population database looks like Table 6 that first can be
used to assess what is the degree of market coverage when looking at the
known data available from GASTECH.

3.1.1 Ranking
For each line (= burner/boiler type) in the population database we calculate
the total gas consumption by multiplying the number of installed appliances
with the average gas consumption. The result (total gas consumption) is
used to get an approximate ranking of the most influential appliances on the
overall emission factor (a more exact ranking should take the emissions into
account, but this will eliminate from the list the appliances, for which we do
not have emissions.

3.1.2 Appliance type

Combining column A4 and A5 we generate the name that we from now on
call “appliance type”, which is the name used to designate a group of appli-
ances (burner, but sometimes boiler) in the population database and so rep-
resented generally by one line (possibly 2, 3 or 4 in case it covers a large
range of heat input). Each “appliance type” is mainly characterized by its
name, number of installed units and average gas consumption.
DGC-report 23

Table 7 Bottom list of the most influencing installations

For each line we check if we do or do not have GASTECH data on the very
specific burner or boiler. This is done for the 1397 lines of the database.

The last column shows a first result which is the coverage of the data avail-
able when only using the data from GASTECH on the very specific burner
or boiler type.

The final figure is 37% of the total gas consumption covered by NOx emis-
sion statistics, but as we will see we can considerably improve this figure
when using additional tests done by DGC and extension of result to similar
burners/boilers (see next section).

Table 7 shows the percentage of installations covered by known data (col-

umn A16, Table 7). The impact of the appliances at the bottom of the table
is negligible: both number of appliances and consumption are low. It ap-
pears also that some domestic boilers are in this list. They are not accounted
in the calculations to come (and would have no real impact anyway).
Note that we are missing the gas consumption for about 30 installations (out
of 1397 – this is the reason why the last rank in Table 7 is 1362). They can-
not be calculated/integrated in the calculations.
DGC-report 24

Figure 8 shows how much the first ranked appliance types are influencing
the overall figure of emissions.

Figure 8 The first 200 appliances types represent 80% of the total gas
consumption

Taking “only” the top 200 appliance types will cover already 80% of the
market. This is achieved by a few single users with a huge consumption
(e.g. AALBORG INDUSTRIES) and a number of popular burners (e.g.
WEISHAUPT WG 40 and WG 30) with more than 1000 burners installed.
The first 200 appliance types in the ranked list represent more than 5600
appliances on a total of about 10500 of the total installed in Denmark.

This means that keeping the focus on the top 200 or so would be most
cost-effective for the project. (We have, however, used all appliance
types to perform the calculations as seen later on, but put special atten-
tion to the top 200 and less attention to the next 1100 or so).

3.2 Phase 2: Evaluating the nominal NOx emissions of each

brand and model

3.2.1 GASTECH data

The data from GASTECH are in the format as presented in Table 8 (Exam-
ple of GASTECH data). For a number of measurements (lines in red), the
DGC-report 25

NOx or air excess (O2 or CO2) measurement was not executed, so we elimi-
nated those from the statistics (e.g. lines 2225 and 2226 in the table). Also
burner names can be spelled differently so we have also checked this and
corrected when possible in order to harmonize with the population database
so that the names in GASTECH database match the “Appliance type” names
defined for the population database.
For some burners, only Pmin (indicated M1) or only Pmax (M2) were
measured (e.g. line 2056). The available test was integrated in the statistics
(if not excluded for the reasons above).

This work in the GASTECH database is repeated for all burners that are
identified from the population database (there is no need to do this work
for all burners of GASTECH list if we cannot find them in the population
database.) We have in this way created Table 10 Emission reference list
table.

Some definitions for Table 10

 For a number of burners, for which the samples were small, or for which
the name was not sufficiently accurate for making a clear differentiation,
we have made accumulated statistics per burner generic name (e.g.
“LOOS” OVERALL in Table 10)
 “OVERALL” means all appliances apart from the models for the same
brand, for which we have made statistics.
 “ALL” (e.g. BENTONE ALL) means all appliances of the brand

3.2.2 Additional data measured by DGC

DGC carried out supplementary test with the double purpose of:
a) Crosschecking the data measured by GASTECH (see para. 2.5.2.3)
b) Collecting more data for appliances types that are high ranked, and
for which we have no data from GASTECH.

3.2.3 Data and information from Weishaupt

Weishaupt burners are used in a very large number of the installations, and
we, therefore, asked (at the beginning of the project) the manufacturer to
help with data and information on the burners.
As GASTECH data cover well all Weishaupt burners and reflect the actual
Danish installations, data from Weishaupt were used for validation only (see
Annex 1). The comparison shows a good correspondence between the data.
See extended comparison in Annex 1.

3.3 Results of Phase3: Evaluating the total annual NOx emis-

sions by combining the information from 1 and 2 (linking the
population database to GASTECH database)

3.3.1 Allocating a reference for NOx emission source at each line of

the population database (= appliance types)
For each line of the population database (= appliance types), we have allo-
cated a reference source for the NOx emission from Table 10. As seen later
we also used DGC data in some cases.
DGC-report 30

A few comments on the way we have proceeded follow below:

Using first the burner as “appliance type”

As explained before, the burner is the component that will be determining
for the NOx emissions so we have always used the burner as “appliance
type”, unless the burner name was not indicated.

Small boilers
Some boilers have integrated burners, for example the Buderus Logano Plus
GB 312/241 which is a relatively small condensing boiler (Pmax from ap-
prox. 90 to 280 kW) and is therefore registered as a boiler in the databases.
In this case, of course, we use the boiler name as “appliance type”.

Figure 9 Buderus Logano Plus GB 312 with integrated burner

Source: http://www.buderus.dk/information/dokumentation/vejledninger/logano-bolig-industri-kedler/buderus-
logano-plus-gb312.html

Large boilers
For large boilers (e.g. Danstoker) that are used for district heating etc., the
size is several MW, and in addition to the boiler model the emissions very
DGC-report 31

much depend on the burner installed. In many cases, we do not have the
burner names installed on Danstoker boilers.
Therefore, we have chosen not to use results of tests from one large boiler
to other boilers of the same brand, but different model. For example for
DANSTOKER TVB we have test data that are used for all DANSTOKER
TVB boilers, but not extended to DANSTOKER VB, for which we do not
have measured data.

Figure 10 Example of a large boiler from Danstoker

Source: http://www.danstoker.dk/

Extension to similar model

For a number of appliances we considered that we could use the emission
references of burners with a similar name. For example:
 for WEISHAUPT G60/1-A we have used emission measured for Weis-
haupt G60/2-A
 and for WEISHAUPT G70/1-B we have used emission measured for
Weishaupt G70/2-A

Finally, we have got additional data resulting from DGC measurements on

chosen installations.

Average of burner emissions by manufacturer

As explained in para. 3.2.1, for a number of burners we have made accumu-
lated statistics per burner generic name.
DGC-report 32

Final allocation of a reference source to all appliance types

Table 13 shows which data from the Emission reference list table was used
for each of the lines of the population database.
In many cases, the choice is straightforward as the names from both the ref-
erence list (based on GASTECH data) and appliance population database
are well “connected”. In other cases, we had to make individual decisions
on which reference to use or not to use, based on the explanation given pre-
viously in this section.

Figure 11 Use of the data from the two databases

This was done for approx. 1400 lines from the population database (see ex-
tended list in Annex 3).
As mentioned, attention was given to the top 200 of the ranked list, and as
the bottom of the list has almost no impact on the global NOx emission fac-
tor, less effort was made to find the most appropriate reference for each of
the appliances in the population database.

With the method described, we have achieved all in all a very fine coverage
of the appliance population database and found reference NOx emissions for
about 73% of the gas consumption of the entire population of appliances

base with known emission data

From the above we can now calculate the overall emission factor:

EF= TE/1000.TGC

The final value obtained for the emission factor is 34,4 g/GJ

As explained, the value is based on appliances that are representing about

73% of the total gas consumption of the entire population. Appliances for
which we could not find data on NOx emissions are not included in the fig-
ure.
Even if this last part of the population is not taken into account, we have no
reason to think that the actual emission factor for appliances, for which we
have no data, is either higher or lower compared to the actual figure ob-
tained (GASTECH is NOT measuring preferentially on appliances with high
or low emissions as the decision to undertake measurements is not linked to
the level of NOx).
As a result we can assume that the value calculated is valid for the en-
tire population of gas boilers above 120 kW.

3.3.3 Uncertainty calculation

The following main elements compose the uncertainty:
1. The uncertainty of the NOx value measured (field test)
2. The uncertainty due to the test conditions
3. The uncertainty in extrapolating the field test results to other appliances
4. The uncertainty of the simplification Pmax/Pmin
5. The uncertainty of the overall emission due to unknown emissions for
some appliances
DGC-report 36

3.3.3.1 Uncertainty of measured values (U1)

The elements for the uncertainty on measured value are basically similar to
the ones that are used for the measurement in laboratory and that was de-
tailed in [1].
They include the following
1. Sampling
2. Transfer and treatment of the sample
3. Analysis of NOx, CO2 and O
4. Calibration
5. Measurement
6. Conversion calculation
7. Uncertainty in reproducibility of the emission

Once we have considered all elements of the uncertainty, the combination of

NOx will typically lead to values in the magnitude of 3,5% relative (given
for DGC in-situ measurements) A conservative value would be 5% for all
in-situ measurements.

U1 = 5%

3.3.3.2 Uncertainty due to test conditions (U2)

- Operating conditions (load, gas used etc.)
- Ambient conditions (Tair, humidity)

The below indicative values were used:

- Air pressure and temperature < 5%
- Water temperature variations < 5%
- Gas composition < 5% (as long as we consider average Danish gas)

𝐔𝟐 = √𝟓𝟐 + 𝟓𝟐 + 𝟓𝟐 = 8,7%

3.3.3.3 Uncertainty in extrapolating the field test results obtain on one

appliance to other appliances (U3) (dispersion of results).
For this we can use the standard deviation that originates from the statistical
analysis of the test.
DGC-report 37

U = 1,96.s (expanded uncertainty) will give a confidence level of 95% [2].

The uncertainty depends on the number of measurements.

U3 = 1,96. s/sqrt (n)

With n being the number of samples measured for a given appliance type.

As seen previously, correcting from gas volume used does not bring much
difference in the results, and therefore we have not weighted the uncertainty
with gas consumptions. The gas consumption will, however, be taken into
account when calculating a total overall uncertainty with all appliance types.

Figure 12 Gaussian distribution

"Standard deviation diagram" - based on figure by Jeremy Kemp, on 2005-02-09.

The average figure for U3 obtained on the total appliance population of

is 12%.

For a number of cases we only have a single measurement and thus a stand-
ard deviation of 0. In these cases, we used the hypothesis that extrapolating
the results to the entire population of the same appliance would lead to an
uncertainty of 18% (Fixed value in the upper range of observed value for the
appliances where we have several measurements).

3.3.3.4 The relative uncertainty of the simplification Pmax/Pmin (U4)

This is simply estimated as half the average difference Pmax-Pmain emis-
sions.
DGC-report 38

abs (NOxPmax- NOxPmin) / 2* avg(NOxPmax- NOxPmin)

3.3.3.5 The uncertainty on the overall emission due to unknown emis-

sions for some appliances (U5)
The appliances, for which we do not know the emissions, are not integrated
in the calculation of NOx emission factor assuming that they will have the
same average as the other ones, for which we do have data. However, we
will have here an additional uncertainty that we will take into account by
using a fixed arbitrary value of 22% (much above the average of 12%
obtained for the “extrapolation uncertainty” U3).

3.3.3.6 Other sources

Other sources of uncertainties (conversion, etc.) are considered smaller than
the one above and will have no real impact on the final figure.

3.3.3.7 Overall results

Appliances for which the NOx emission is known
We calculate the uncertainty for each individual appliance type: U1 and U2
are the same for all, but U3 and U4 are specific.

𝐔𝐢 = √𝐔𝟏𝟐 + 𝐔𝟐𝟐 + 𝐔𝟑𝟐 + 𝐔𝟒𝟐

Appliances for which the NOx are known

As indicated above, we use the arbitrary value of Ui = 22% for all applianc-
es, for which we have no data.

Overall
We carry out the a total uncertainty calculation with the following hypothe-
sis:
- we suppose that the emissions of the appliances, for which we have
no emissions data, have the same emission factor as the average
weighted emission factor of appliances, for which we have emission
data.
- We suppose that EF calculation by appliance types are independent
from each other .
DGC-report 39

The TOTAL uncertainty resulting from the calculation with the figures and
hypotheses given here leads to a final uncertainty of 7,1% rel. on the
value given of EF.

4 Discussion and further analysis

4.1 Evolution of the emission factor (EF) with time
The following figure shows - for the top 200 of the ranked list - the correla-
tion between the installation date and the NOx emissions, and we have also
indicated the regulatory limits including the change introduced in 2001.
Note that the figures for the installation date are average data from the
population database.

Regulatory limit

Regulatory limit

Figure 13 Installation year and NOx emissions

It appears that
- new regulations are impacting the NOx emissions
- there is a technology evolution (becoming visible when making average
(see next figure)
DGC-report 41

The next figure is perhaps a more obvious way of visualizing the decrease
of the EF. It also shows that the trend is not only due to regulation changes
as the decrease has started before the introduction of the new limits.

Regulatory limit

Regulatory limit

Figure 14 Evolution of the cumulated average of EF since 1985. The figure

is based on statistics made on the part of the database, for which
we could make an installation address match (see Figure 11)
combining the EF (calculated with the GASTECH database)
with the date of installation. About 1200 measurements have
been used (note that as this does not cover the whole database;
the final value of EF is slightly different from the one covering
the whole database).

The blue data points in Figure 14 represent single installations and the pur-
ple solid line represents the NOx emission limit for new boilers. The dotted
purple line represents the emission limit for an old (before 2001) boiler that
is upgraded with a new burner. Hence, the data points between the regula-
tion lines for the period 2001 to 2013 do not represent installations in con-
flict with regulation unless they are completely new installations. The year
of installation we have available in our database is for the latest burner in-
stallation. The few data points above the dotted line after 2001 represent
sites with a too high NOx emission.
DGC-report 42

From the data available we have calculated that technologies improves of

about 0,34 g/GJ every year. If this trend continues, considering a lifetime of
25 years (and a replacement rate of 4%), the evolution of the EF will be as
shown in Fejl! Henvisningskilde ikke fundet.15 with the hypothesis of an
average emission factor of 29 g/GJ in 2010 for newly installed burners.

Figure 15 Scenario for the evolution of the EF

The evolution of the EF can depend very much on the regulations for new or
existing installations. The above evolution is supposed to represent the actu-
al evolution in case the present regulation is unchanged.

There are several boilers and burners on the market, for which EF is below
20 g/GJ (some very close to 10 g/GJ), that would be able to contribute effi-
ciently to a faster decrease of the overall EF.

4.2 Overall
Figure 16 shows that the values of EF are not correlated to appliance types
having low or high consumption (in this way, no action on specific market
segment will have a high impact).
DGC-report 43

5 Conclusion
The study demonstrated that actual emission factor for NOx is about 34,4
g/GJ based on 2011 data.
The background data for the conclusion is solid as we have an extended
detailed database of existing appliances (population database), for which the
model of appliance and the actual gas consumption is recorded.

The information was combined with almost 14.000 individual test results of
NOx emission executed by GASTECH, and it covers very well the existing
population of appliances. We estimated to have data for a population con-
suming 73% of the gas (either directly from GASTECH or by estimates on
basis of similar burners; some DGC tests have also been carried out).

Crosschecking the data measured by GASTECH was organized by DGC in

order to control that the measurement methods or instrument do not bring
deviation in the results.

Furthermore, we saw a decrease of the EF due to the regulations and the

technology improvements.

2) Comparison of GASTECH measured values with Weishaupt declared

(measured) values

The figures below show how the values measured by GASTECH compare with the nominal val-
ues given to DGC by Weishaupt. The column "measured value “in Weishaupt's table was used
for this comparison. We had some uncertainty, as the nomenclature used to record appliances in
the GASTECH database did not conform 100% to the one received by Weishaupt.

However, it is clear that for the models, for which we have no doubts, that the values measured
compare well with the data given by Weishaupt.

 (CO)m and (NOx)m: Measured concentrations expressed in ppm (volume/volume), in the
sample taken during the combustion test [(NOx)m = (NO)m + (NO2)m]
 (CO2)m and (O2)m: Measured concentrations expressed in % (volume/volume), in the
sample taken during the combustion test.
 (CO2)n: The maximum carbon dioxide content of the dry-air free combustion products in

2. Calculation of neutral combustion dry gas (dry-air free)

The calculation of the values to reference condition is performed in order to express emission
under conditions of neutral combustion (stoichiometric) and dry gas.
In the following we suppose that measurements are performed on dry flue gas sample (case of
DGC test procedure).

The value in dry-air free emission in ppm (X1) is calculated from the measured concentration in
the flue (X0),
either using O2 measurement with:
O2 air
X1 = (X0)m  [ppm]
O2 air  (O2 ) m

or using CO2 measurement with:

(CO 2 ) n
X1 = (X0)m  [ppm]
(CO 2 ) md
Note that X0 can be NOx or CO and note that conditions reference for air temperature and humid-
ity for testing are 20°C for temperature and 10 g/kg for humidity.
