Gas-fired domestic appliances producing hot water - Appliances not exceeding 70 kW heat input and 300 l water storage capacity - Part 2: Assessment of energy consumption

This European Standard is applicable to gas-fired appliances producing domestic hot water. It applies to both instantaneous and storage appliances; waters-heaters and combination boilers that have:
- heat input not exceeding 70 kW, and
- hot water storage capacity (if any) not exceeding 300 l.
In the case of combination boilers, with or without storage, domestic hot water production is integrated or coupled, the whole being marketed as a single unit.
This European Standard EN 13203 is formed in two parts, which cover two aspects of domestic hot water production.
EN 13203-1 sets out in qualitative and quantitative terms the performance in delivery of domestic hot water for a selected variety of uses. It also gives a system for presenting the information to the user. This first part complements EN 26, EN 89 and EN 625.
The present European Standard EN 13203-2 sets out a method for assessing the energy performance of the 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.

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 %. 4.3 Test conditions 4.3.1 General Except where otherwise stated, the appliance is tested under the following conditions. For combination boilers the tests are carried out only in summer mode. 4.3.2 Test room The appliance is installed in a well-ventilated, draught-free room (air speed less than 0,5 m/s). The appliance is protected from direct solar radiation.



EN 13203-2:2006 (E) 7 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 are measured in the centre of the flow and as close as possible to the appliance. The inlet temperatures are measured immediately upstream of the water inlet connection. Except where otherwise stated, the outlet temperatures are 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 by the manufacturer. The hot water temperature is 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 rate of change of the domestic hot water temperature at the appliance outlet has become less than the temperature fluctuation at constant water rate

2 % of the nominal domestic hot water heat input under the conditions prevailing at the time of the test. The delivered water temperature at the appliance outlet is defined as follows (see Figures A.1.1 and A.1.2): a) appliances with an adjustable temperature: the tests are carried out at a temperature not greater than 65 °C, with a minimum temperature increase equal to or greater than 45 K above water inlet temperature; b) appliances with a fixed temperature: the tests are carried out at the temperature specified by the manufacturer, with a minimum temperature increase equal to or greater than 45 K. The same conditions of initial adjustment stated by the manufacturer are used for all the tests. These conditions are included in the test report. 4.3.6 Electrical supply The appliance is supplied with the nominal voltage or a voltage included within the range of nominal voltages.



EN 13203-2:2006 (E) 8 5 Determination of the energy consumption of appliances 5.1 General The present clause defines the test methods to be employed in determining the energy consumption of appliances. 5.2 Tapping cycles 5.2.1 General 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: a) “Basin” type draw-off (bath, dishwash) versus “continuous flow” draw-offs (shower, handwash etc). The aim of the former 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 latter start to be useful only from a certain temperature (minimum useful temperature increase is
15 K lower than the desired temperature), or b) “Kitchen” type draw-off which is carried out with a water temperature increase of 45 K rather than t

instantaneous and storage appliances; waters-heaters and combination boilers that have:
 a heat input not exceeding 70 kW, and
 a hot water storage capacity (if any) not exceeding 300 l.
In the case of combination boilers, with or without storage, domestic hot water production is integrated or coupled,
the whole being marketed as a single unit.
This European Standard EN 13203 is formed in two parts, which cover two aspects of domestic hot water
production.
prEN 13203-1 sets out in qualitative and quantitative terms the performance in delivery of domestic hot water for a
selected variety of uses. It also gives a system for presenting the information to the user. This first part
complements EN 26, EN 89 and EN 625.
The present European Standard prEN 13203-2 sets out a method for assessing the energy performance of the
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.

 ambient air temperature: (20 ± 3), in °C;
 electrical supply voltage: (230 ± 2), in V.
4.2 Measurement uncertainties
Except where otherwise stated in the clauses describing the tests, the uncertainties of measurements carried out
shall be not greater than the maximum uncertainties indicated below.
These uncertainties correspond to two standard deviations.
The laboratory evaluates these standard deviations taking account of 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 °C;
 water: ± 0,5 °C;
 gas: ± 0,5 °C;
 mass: ± 0,5 %;
 gas pressure: ± 2 %;
 gas calorific value: ± 1 %;
 gas density: ± 0,5 %;
 electrical 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 %.
4.3 Test conditions
4.3.1 General
Except where otherwise stated, the appliance is tested under the following conditions.
For combination boilers the tests are carried out only in summer mode.
4.3.2 Test room
The appliance is installed in a well-ventilated, draught-free room (air speed less than 0,5 m/s).

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 are measured in the centre of the flow and as close as
possible to the appliance.
The inlet temperatures are measured immediately upstream of the water inlet connection. Except where otherwise
stated, the outlet temperatures are 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 by the manufacturer.
The hot water temperature is 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 rate of change of the domestic hot
water temperature at the appliance outlet has become less than the temperature fluctuation at constant water rate

5 Determination of the energy consumption of appliances
5.1 General
The present clause defines the test methods to be employed in determining the energy consumption of appliances.
5.2 Tapping cycles
5.2.1 General
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:
a) “Basin” type draw-off (bath, dishwash) versus “continuous flow” draw-offs (shower, handwash etc).
The aim of the former 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 latter start to be useful only from a certain temperature (minimum useful temperature increase is
15 K lower than the desired temperature), or
b) “Kitchen” type draw-off which are carried out with a water temperature increase of 45 K rather than the
30 K in a).
The tapping flow rates used to perform the different types of tapping of each of the five tapping cycles defined by
Tables 2 to 6 should be taken as given by Table 1.
When these tapping rates result in a tapping period of less than 15 s the flow rate should be decreased such that
the tapping period is (15 ± 1) s.
If by design of the appliance the test cannot be carried out with these low flow rates, the minimum flow rate for the
ignition of the appliance is taken.
If by design the appliance is fitted with an excess flow valve, the tests are carried out with this excess flow rate.
