Gas-fired domestic appliances producing hot water - Part 7: Assessment of energy consumption of combination boilers equipped with a passive flue heat recovery device

This European Standard is applicable to gas-fired appliances producing domestic hot water. It applies to
condensing combination boilers with passive flue heat recovery device (PFHRD) that have:
— a heat input not exceeding 400 kW,
— a hot water storage tank capacity (if any) not exceeding 2000 l,
— a declared load profile between M to 4XL.
In the case of combination boilers, with or without storage tank, domestic hot water production is integrated
or coupled, the whole being marketed as a single unit.
For this standard, some tests and calculation results of FprEN 13203-2:2018 are used to calculate the energy consumptions.

4.3.3 Water supply
For the tests:

— The domestic water pressure is the static inlet pressure under dynamic conditions measured as close as

possible to the product.

— The inlet temperatures are measured immediately upstream of the cold water inlet connection in the

centre of the flow.

— An additional (rapid response) sensor X shall be placed immediately in the domestic water outlet of the

PFHRD construction. This sensor shall be situated in the centre of the flow. If the PFHRD construction is

an integrated part of the boiler, an adapter is needed to place the sensor X. The technical documentation

shall give a figure of this adapter. The appliance for testing shall be delivered with this adapter (see

Figure 1a and Figure 1b).
Water temperatures shall be measured with a rapid response temperature sensor.

The following new Clause 5 is added:
5 Determination of applicability of the present standard

To ensure that the appliance is in the scope of this standard it shall be proved that during central heating

production there is no significant heat transfer to the PFHRD construction.

This heat transfer can be caused by a so called “thermal bridge” where conduction, convection (even by self-

circulation in a single tube with a net water flow of zero) and radiation during the production of central

heating water can occur.

Figure 2 — Determination of applicability of the present standard
Test method:

a) The domestic hot water circuit including the PFHRD shall be cooled by a flow of 10 °C water with the

nominal flow rate according to EN 13203-1:2015 (5.2), till thermal equilibrium in the appliance water

temperature (D in Figure 1) is reached. After that, this flow will continue for 10 min.

b) After that the central heating circuit (including the primary heat exchanger) shall be heated up from an

external heat source under the conditions of a nominal central heating flow rate at an average

temperature of 70 °C ± 1 K until thermal equilibrium is reached. 60 min after this thermal equilibrium,

the circulation over the central heating circuit is stopped.

c) One minute after the circulation stop over the central heating circuit, a domestic water draw off with cold

water of 10 °C and a water flow of 0,5 to 1,0 l/min is started. During this draw off, the water flow, the cold

water inlet temperature T and the water outlet temperature of the PFHRD (T of sensor X) shall be

DHW-in X

measured with a sample rate not less than once per second. The draw off will be stopped when T ≤ T

x DHW-
+ 1 K during 10 (±1) seconds.

The thermal bridge energy (Q ) in watt-hour (Wh) shall be calculated with the following formula:

Q=1000⋅⋅c D ∆T t dt (1)

4.3.1 General
Shall be according to prEN 13203-2:2020, 4.3.1, with the following modification:
The following sentence is not applicable:

“For combination gas boiler, the tests shall be carried out only in summer mode as defined in 3.3, and the

appliance shall be set in summer mode.”
The following sentence is modified as follows:

“The load profile used for the measurement shall be the one declared in the technical instruction of the

appliance”.
4.3.2 Test room
Shall be according to prEN 13203-2:2020, 4.3.2.
4.3.3 Water supply
prEN 13203-2:2020, 4.3.3 is replaced by the following:
“For the tests:

— The domestic water pressure is the static water inlet pressure measured as close as possible to the

product.

— The inlet temperatures are measured immediately upstream of the cold water inlet connection in the

centre of the flow.

— An additional (rapid response) sensor X shall be placed immediately in the domestic water outlet of the

PFHRD construction. This sensor shall be situated in the centre of the flow. If the PFHRD is an integrated

part of the boiler, an adapter is needed to install the temperature sensor X. The technical documentation

shall give a figure of this adapter. The appliance under test shall be fitted with an adapter that is supplied

with the appliance accessories. This flow will continue for 10 min after the thermal equilibrium.

Water temperatures shall be measured with a rapid response temperature sensor.

5 Determination of applicability of the present standard

To ensure that the appliance is in the scope of this standard it shall be proved that during central heating

production there is no significant heat transfer to the PFHRD construction.

This heat transfer can be caused by a so called “thermal bridge” where conduction, convection (even by self-

circulation in a single tube with a net water flow of zero) and radiation during the production of central

heating water can occur.
Figure 3 — Determination of applicability of the present standard
Test method:

a) The domestic hot water circuit including the PFHRD shall be cooled by a water flow at 10 °C and with the

nominal water flow rate according to EN 13203-1:2015 (5.2), until the appliance water temperature (D in

Figures 1 and 2) has reached the thermal equilibrium. After that, this flow will continue for 10 min.

b) After that the central heating circuit (including the primary heat exchanger) shall be heated up by an

external heat source. The water rate through the boiler is adjusted so as to obtain a return water

temperature of (60 ± 0,5) °C and a temperature difference between flow and return water temperature of

(20 ± 1) °C at an average temperature of 70 °C ± 1 K until thermal equilibrium is reached. 60 min after

this thermal equilibrium, the circulation over the central heating circuit is stopped.

c) One minute after the circulation stop over the central heating circuit, a domestic water draw off with cold

water of 10 °C and a water flow of 0,5 to 1,0 l/min is started. During this draw off, the water flow, the cold

water inlet temperature T and the water outlet temperature of the PFHRD (T of sensor X) shall be

DHW-in X

measured with a sample rate not less than once per second. The draw off will be stopped when T ≤ T

x DHW-
+ 1 K during 10 (±1) seconds.
