– inclusion of requirements for „Stirling Engine“ and „Internal Combustion Engine“;
– modification of requirements for fuel cell heating appliances to reflect experience since the first
edition;
– partly adaptation to EN 15502-1 and EN 15502-2-1, especially to reflect the new requirements for air
proving devices;
– introduction of additional types of combustion air and flue duct systems;
– modification of the total efficiency calculation;
– modifications of NO weighting and calculation.

Micro-cogeneration is also known as micro combined heat and power [mCHP]. mCHP is an efficient way
to deliver heating, cooling and electricity. It is based on the simultaneous production of electrical and
thermal energy, both of which are used. The central and most fundamental principle of mCHP is that in
order to maximize the many benefits that arise from it, systems should be based according to the heat
demand of the application.
A fuel cell, Stirling engine and internal combustion engine are just some of the significant technologies to
be the thermal heart of a mCHP appliance.
mCHP appliances that are already established in the market are used to provide central heating and
domestic hot water in residential buildings.
Due to the development of new technology other solutions than those described in this European
Standard are possible if these solutions provide at least an equivalent level of safety.
Matters related to quality assurance systems, tests during production, and certificates of conformity of
auxiliary devices are not dealt with in this European Standard.
Due to the change in scope to include technologies in addition to fuel cells, the title of this European
Standard has been changed from “fuel cell gas heating appliance” into “combined heat and power
appliance”.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For the relationship with EU Directive(s) see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
NOTE Table F.1 summarizes the main symbols and abbreviations used in this European Standard.
3.1
reference conditions
these correspond to 15 ºC and 1 013,25 mbar, unless otherwise specified
Note 1 to entry: mbar = 10 Pa.
[SOURCE: EN 437: 2003+A1:2009, 3.9]
3.2
combustible gases
3.2.1
test gases
gases intended for the verification of the operational characteristics of gas appliances. They consist of
reference gases and limit gases
[SOURCE: EN 437:2003+A1:2009, 3.2]
3.2.2
reference gases
test gases with which appliances operate under nominal conditions when they are supplied at the
corresponding normal pressure
[SOURCE: EN 437:2003+A1:2009, 3.3]
3.2.3
limit gases
test gases representative of the extreme variations in the characteristics of the gases for which
appliances have been designed
[SOURCE: EN 437:2003+A1:2009, 3.4]
3.2.4
calorific value
quantity of heat produced by the complete combustion, at a constant pressure equal to 1 013,25 mbar, of
a unit volume or mass of gas, the constituents of the combustible mixture being taken at reference
conditions and the products of combustion being brought back to the same conditions
A distinction is made between:
– the gross calorific value H : the water produced by combustion is assumed to be condensed;
s
– the net calorific value H : the water produced by combustion is assumed to be in the vapour state
i
Note 1 to entry: The calorific value is expressed:
– either in megajoules per cubic metre (MJ/m³) of dry gas under the reference conditions;
– or in megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg) of dry gas.
[SOURCE: EN 437:2003+A1:2009, 3.11]
3.2.5
relative density
d
ratio of the masses of equal volumes of dry gas and dry air under the same conditions of temperature and
pressure: 15 °C or 0 °C and 1 013,25 mbar
[SOURCE: EN 437:2003+A1:2009, 3.10]
3.2.6
Wobbe index
gross Wobbe index: W ; net Wobbe index: W
s i
ratio of the calorific value of a gas per unit volume to the square root of its relative density under the same
reference conditions. The Wobbe index is said to be gross or net according to whether the calorific value
used is the gross or net calorific value
Note 1 to entry: The Wobbe indices are expressed:
– either in megajoules per cubic metre (MJ/m³) of dry gas under reference conditions,
– or in megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg) of dry gas.
[SOURCE: EN 437:2003+A1:2009, 3.12]
3.2.7
gas pressure
3.2.7.1
general
all the pressures are static pressures of the moving gas, relative to the atmospheric pressure, measured
at right angles to the direction of the flow of the gas
Note 1 to entry: Symbol: p. The gas pressures used are expressed in millibars (mbar) 1 mbar = 10 Pa.
3.2.7.2
test pressures
gas pressures used to verify the operational characteristics of gas appliances, consisting of normal and
limit pressures
[SOURCE: EN 437:2003+A1:2009, 3.5, modified]
3.2.7.3
normal pressure
p
n
pressure under which the appliances operate in nominal conditions when they are supplied with the
corresponding reference gas
[SOURCE: EN 437:2003 + A1:2009, 3.6]
3.2.7.4
limit pressures
maximum pressure: p ; minimum pressure: p
max min
pressures representative of the extreme variations in the appliance supply conditions
[SOURCE: EN 437:2003+A1:2009, 3.7]
3.2.7.5
pressure couple
combination of two distinct gas distribution pressures applied by reason of the significant difference
existing between the Wobbe indices within a single gas family or group in which
– the higher pressure corresponds only to gases of low Wobbe index;
– the lower pressure corresponds to gases of high Wobbe index
[SOURCE: EN 437:2003+A1:2009, 3.8]
3.3
Cogeneration
CHP
simultaneous generation of thermal and electrical energy in one process
Note 1 to entry: CHP= combined heat and power
– 13 – EN 50465:2015
3.3.1
mCHP
condensing or non-condensing CHP appliance with a maximum electrical output power below 50 kW
Note 1 to entry: As defined by Directive 2012/27/EC.
