Testing procedures for the determination of annual efficiency and annual emissions of domestic boilers

Abstract

Testing procedures for the determination of annual efficiency and annual emissions of domestic gas boilers are presented. The purpose was to establish a firm basis for laboratory testing and analyses of results concerning annual efficiency, hot water production, emissions and quality of domestic gas boilers. The proposed procedures are consistent with current practice in Denmark. The procedure is suitable for gas boilers with a heat input of up to 70 KW. The value of heat output used for the calculation of load and efficiency is the heat that is delivered to the heating system to increase the room temperature and to produce hot water. The procedure can also be used to test control systems or other systems whose purpose is to conserve energy or increase comfort. It is based on the use of a boiler for heat and hot water production in a house with an annual consumption of 10 to 30 MWh for space heating and about 4 MWh for hot water. The standard of reference is a house whose heat losses are 8 KW at an outside temperature of -12 deg. C and an inside temperature of 20 deg. C. for hot water production, the standard of reference  More>>

C. for hot water production, the standard of reference is a need of approximately 0.5 KW. This yields the values 20 MWh and 4 MWh. (AB) 10 refs.}
