Gas-fired domestic appliances producing hot water - Part 4: Assessment of energy consumption of gas combined heat and power appliances (mCHP) producing hot water and electricity

This European Standard is applicable to gas-fired mCHP appliances producing domestic hot water and electricity. The electricity is generated in a process linked to the production of useful heat.
It applies to a mCHP appliances marketed as single unit or as a package fully specified by a manufacturer that have:
-   a gas heat input not exceeding 70 kW;
-   an electrical output not exceeding 50 kW and
-   a hot water storage capacity not exceeding 500 l.
EN 13203 1 sets out in qualitative and quantitative terms the performance in delivery of domestic hot water for a variety of uses. It also gives a system for presenting the information to the user.
The present document sets out a method for assessing the energy performance of gas fired mCHP appliances. It defines a number of daily tapping cycles for each domestic hot water use, kitchen, shower, bath and a combination of these, together with corresponding test procedures, enabling the energy performances of different gas-fired appliances to be compared and matched to the needs of the user.
When the mCHP generator does not supply domestic hot water in the summer period, the present standard is not applicable. EN 13203 2 will be used for performance assessment of these generators.

Ta evropski standard se uporablja za plinske naprave za soproizvodnjo tople vode in elektrike (mCHP). Električna energija se proizvaja v procesu, povezanim s proizvodnjo uporabne toplote.
Uporablja se za vse naprave mCHP, ki so na trgu na voljo kot ena enota ali kot paket in pri katerih po navedbah proizvajalca:
– toplotna moč plina ne presega 70 kW;
– električna moč ne presega 50 kW in
– prostornina za vročo vodo ne presega 500 l.
Standard EN 13203 1 v kakovostnem in količinskem smislu določa zmogljivost za pripravo tople sanitarne vode za različne namene. Zajema tudi sistem za predstavitev informacij uporabniku.
Ta dokument določa metodo za ocenjevanje energetske učinkovitosti plinskih naprav mCHP. Določa število dnevnih ciklov izpuščanja za vsako uporabo gospodinjske tople vode, kuhinjo, prho, kad in njihove kombinacije, skupaj z ustreznimi preskusnimi postopki, za omogočanje energijske zmogljivosti različnih plinskih naprav za primerjavo in uskladitev s potrebami uporabnika.
Ko generator mCHP ne dobavlja tople sanitarne vode v poletnem obdobju, se trenutni standard ne uporablja. Za oceno zmogljivosti takšnih generatorjev se bo uporabljal standard EN 13203 2.

4 General test conditions
4.1 Reference conditions
Unless otherwise stated, the general test conditions shall be as follows:
— cold water temperature: 10°C
— maximum average variation over the test period: ± 2 K
— cold water pressure: (2 ± 0,1) bar;
— ambient air temperature: 20°C
— maximum average variation over the test period ± 1 K
— maximum variation during the tests ± 2 K
— electrical supply voltage:
— (230 ± 2) V single phase;
— (410 ± 4) V three phase.
4.2 Measurement uncertainties

Except where otherwise stated in the clauses describing the tests, the uncertainties of measurements

carried out shall not be greater than the maximum uncertainties indicated below.

The following deviations take into account the various sources of uncertainty: contribution from the

instrument, repeatability, calibration, ambient conditions, etc.
— water rate: ± 1 %;
— gas rate: ± 1 %;
— time: ± 0,2 s;
— temperatures:
— ambient: ± 1 K;
— water: ± 0,5 K;
— gas: ± 0,5 K;
— mass: ± 0, 5 %;
— gas pressure: ± 1 %;
— gas calorific value: ± 1 %;
— gas density: ± 0,5 %;
— electrical auxiliary energy: ± 2 %;
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
SIST EN 13203-4:2017
EN 13203-4:2016 (E)
— electrical generated energy: ± 2 %.

The stated measurement uncertainties relate to individual measurements. For measurements that

combine a number of individual measurements, smaller uncertainties on the individual measurements

may be necessary to ensure a total uncertainty within ± 2 % under the steady-state conditions.

These uncertainties correspond to two standard deviations (2σ).
4.3 Test conditions
4.3.1 General

The tests shall be carried out in the summer mode when the mCHP generator of the appliance is

producing domestic hot water only.

For all tests defined by this standard, the same adjustment of the appliance shall be maintained.

4.3.2 Test room

The appliance shall be installed in a well-ventilated, draught-free room (air speed less than 0,5 m/s).

The appliance shall be protected from direct solar radiation and radiation from heat generators.

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 appliance;

— the inlet and outlet temperatures of the domestic water shall be measured in the centre of the flow

and as close as possible to the appliance.

The inlet temperatures shall be measured immediately upstream of the water inlet connection. Except

where otherwise stated, the outlet temperatures shall be measured immediately downstream of the

outlet connection or, in the case of an appliance with spout delivery, by means of an immersed

temperature measuring device, e.g. a u-tube fitted at the outlet of a tube of the same length as the

minimum length of the spout normally supplied with the appliance.
The hot water temperature shall be measured with a rapid response thermometer.

“Rapid response thermometer” means a measuring instrument with a response time such that 90 % of

the final temperature rise, from 15 °C to 100 °C, is obtained within about 1 s, when the sensor is

plunged into still water.
4.3.4 Steady-state

Steady-state operating conditions shall be regarded as established when the appliance operates for

sufficient time to reach thermal stabilization. The steady-state is reached when the water temperature

at the outlet does not vary by more than ± 0,5 K.

NOTE This condition can be reached with a gas that is different from the specified test gas, provided that the

appliance is supplied with the specified test gas for at least 5 min before the requirements are verified.

4.3.5 Initial adjustment of the appliance
The appliance shall be installed in accordance with the appliance instructions.

The heat input shall be adjusted to within ± 2 % of the nominal domestic hot water heat input.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST EN 13203-4:2017
EN 13203-4:2016 (E)

The delivered water temperature (T ) at the appliance outlet shall be as follows (see Figures A.1 and

A.2):

a) appliances with an adjustable temperature: the tests shall be carried out at a temperature not

greater than 65 °C, with a minimum temperature increase equal to or greater than 45 K above cold

water inlet temperature.

b) appliances with a fixed temperature: the tests shall be carried out at the temperature specified in

the appliance instructions, with a minimum temperature increase equal to or greater than 45 K

above cold water inlet temperature.

The same conditions of initial adjustment stated in the instructions shall be used for all the tests.

These conditions shall be included in the test report.
4.3.6 Electrical supply

The appliance shall be supplied with the nominal voltage or a voltage included within the range of

nominal voltages stated in the installation instructions.
4.3.7 Delivered electrical energy

Arrangement shall be made to enable the delivered electrical energy to be measured.

NOTE The delivered electrical energy to be measured may be dissipated by a resistor or exported to the grid.

5 Determination of the energy consumption and electrical energy generation of
the appliance
5.1 General

This clause defines the test methods to be employed in determining the energy consumption and

electrical energy generation of appliances.
5.2 Tapping cycles

All patterns define a 24 h measurement cycle and within that cycle the starting times and the total

energy content (in kWh equivalent of hot water tapped) of each draw-off are defined.

Furthermore, the draw-off can be characterized in two ways, either “basin” type draw-off versus

“continuous flow” draw-off.

The aim of the “basin” type is to arrive at an average temperature of the tub, so all supplied energy can

be considered useful from the very beginning of the draw-off (minimum useful temperature increase is

0 K). The average temperature rising (ΔT) to be achieved during tapping, shall be for floor cleaning and

bath 30 K and for the dish washes 45
