Summary

The water-vapour pump is a final mass and heat exchanger which uses the combustion air as a supplementary cold source to recycle the residual sensible and latent energy usually released at the flue. It can thus be utilized on most natural-gas-powered heaters to usefully recover the total gross calorific value of the fuel; they greatly reduce the formation of nitrogen oxides, the only residual pollutant produced by natural gas combustion. Some 200 megawatts using this concept have already been installed in France today, mostly in district heating boiler plants, greenhouse heating and aquaculture. Other applications could be envisaged particularly in cogeneration.
