With significant regulatory changes relating to oil-fired burners in the pipeline, Riello is encouraging installers to take advantage of available training opportunities to ensure they keep up-to-speed with the latest requirements.

From September 2018, new regulations stipulate that nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from oil boilers should not exceed 120mg/kWh, with further reductions expected from 2022. In order to meet these requirements, oil boilers manufactured after this date will require blue flame burners with re-designed combustion heads, combined with the latest digital control technology. This, in turn, will have an impact on the way installers fit these products.

Riello's sales and marketing director, Paul Sharp, said: "A sustained drive to reduce NOx emissions, which is likely to continue post-Brexit, is leading to major re-development of oil-fired burner designs. As manufacturers we have a responsibility to ensure our products are compliant, and also to assist installers through both training and product design.

"While we will retain as many familiar components and installer-friendly features as possible, there are inevitable changes coming that installers will need to understand," Mr Sharp continued. "We would therefore urge installers to take advantage of the training courses we are making available, to help them provide the best solution for their customers."
