Data sheets: what to measure?

- Heat output (Full load and 30%)

- Heating efficiency

Example for boilers and cogeneration heaters

- Electrical Efficiency (mCHP)

- Standby loss

- Sound power

- El.consumption

CEN standards for the application of the regulation (testing and measurement) Example: El. heat pumps: Many are new !

- Can the laboratories measure in a reproducible way? - Are the standard good enough to garanty reproducible testing?

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

S U S T A I N A B L E G A S T E C H N O L O G Y

Overall objectives 1: EVALUATION OF EU LABORATORIES: “to provide for each parameter measured for the application of (EU) No 811/12/13/14 2013 and each appliance a value of the inter-laboratory reproducibility obtained with the test procedures of the corresponding standard developed”

2: EVALUATION OF EU STANDARDS: “to propose improvements of the procedures from the standards” 3: EVALUATION OF EU market surveillance TOLERANCES: “to propose for all parameters and appliances tested a value of a reasonable tolerance that shall be used for the market surveillance”.

Results

1) Improvement of standards based on On-going analysis of standards with brainstorming Revision of the test procedure based on test results from the

Round Robin tests

2) Improvement of laboratory reproducibility based on: A common understanding of test procedures Identification of weak points by laboratories Improvement of the accuracy for the weakest part of the

measurement chain Better standards
