Division 2 Technical parameters of water heaters

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The following parameters shall be calculated for water heaters under average climate conditions:

  1. (a)

    the water heating energy efficiency ηwh in %, rounded to one decimal place;

  2. (b)

    the annual electricity consumption AEC in kWh in terms of final energy, rounded to the nearest integer;

in addition, for water heaters using fuels under average climate conditions:

  1. (c)

    the annual fuel consumption AFC in kWh in terms of GCV, rounded to the nearest integer;

in addition, for solar water heaters under average climate conditions:

  1. (d)

    the heat generator water heating energy efficiency ηwh,nonsol in %, rounded to one decimal place;

  2. (e)

    the annual auxiliary electricity consumption Qaux in kWh in terms of final energy, rounded to one decimal place;

in addition, for solar water heaters and heat pump water heaters under colder and warmer climate conditions:

  1. (f)

    the parameters set out in points (a) to (c);

in addition for solar water heaters under average, colder and warmer climate conditions:

  1. (g)

    the annual non-solar heat contribution Qnonsol in kWh in terms of primary energy for electricity and/or in kWh in terms of GCV for fuels, rounded to one decimal place.
