Develop Prototype Natural-Gas-Fired, Fan-Type Central Furnace(s) with

Reduced NOx Emissions Capable of Meeting the Future Requirements of

Rule 1111

Bidders ConferenceFebruary 26, 2010

RFP #P2010-17

Page 2: Develop Prototype Natural-Gas-Fired, Fan-Type Central Furnace

Background

Rule 1111 amended November 6, 2009 NOx limit reduced from 40 to 14 ng/J with

phase-in starting 10/1/14 Subject to technology assessment

Board dedicated $1 million to help manufacturers develop furnaces meeting 14 ng/J

Purpose of this RFP

Within two years, develop and test prototype natural gas, fan-type central furnace(s) meeting 14 ng/J based on certification procedure in Rule 1111 and applicable safety standards.

The RFP encourages development of high-efficiency products and sharing of intellectual property that results from the project.

AQMD Concern with Higher Wobbe Index of Future Gas Supplies

Normal range of Wobbe Index 1330-1340 Future LNG imports may increase WI to as

high as 1385 For some combustion devices, NOx

increases with WI Testing of NOx-vs.-WI would be viewed as

a plus.
