Ultraclean Condensing Gas Furnace
Established in 1963, the R&D 100 Awards is the only S&T (science and technology) awards competition that recognizes new commercial products, technologies, and materials for their technological significance that are available for sale or license. The R&D 100 Awards, celebrating the program's 60th Anniversary this year, has long been a benchmark of excellence for industry sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software, manufacturing, and biotechnology. This 2022 R&D 100 winner is listed below, along with its respective category.
Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: Oak Ridge National Laboratory
United States
Product Description:We developed a novel furnace that incorporates monolithic acidic gas reduction (AGR) as the catalyst to minimize acidic gases and condensate acidity and oxidize carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and methane. The ultraclean flue gas and neutral condensate enables furnaces to achieve simpler installation, high efficiency, and environmental protection.
