The Modern Heating Systems research group has a long-term focus on the development of new technologies for local energy systems and household heating, for example, in terms of catalytic flue gas cleaning, energy storage, the optimization of combustion processes, and the utilization of alternative fuels.
The research group actively participates in national and international projects focused on the development of innovative technologies for modern heating, increasing energy efficiency, and reducing the environmental impacts of local combustion sources. In its research, it combines experimental methods, laboratory and operational measurements, and advanced data analysis. It utilizes these approaches in the design, optimization, and verification of new energy technologies and equipment.
The research activities of our group contribute to the development of practically applicable technologies with a direct impact on air quality, energy efficiency, and the environmental optimization of local heating sources. The results of our research find application primarily in the areas of reducing emissions from small-scale combustion equipment, thermal energy storage, and the optimization of combustion processes for both domestic and industrial applications. Significant applied outputs include the utility model Heat storage enclosure for bioethanol burners (No. 34 991), which was licensed to a commercial company for practical use; the granting of an exclusive license for the use of know-how and complete design documentation of an electrostatic precipitator for dust reduction from hot-water wood biomass boilers with an output of 150–500 kW; and the utility model Catalyst for domestic stationary biomass combustion sources (No. 38 927), developed in cooperation with Ranido s.r.o. Research results are regularly published in international impact-factor journals and presented at professional conferences, through which the group actively contributes to the advancement of knowledge in the field of modern energy and environmental technologies.
