Solar supported gas-fired domestic appliances producing hot water - Appliances not exceeding 70 kW heat input and 500 litres water storage capacity - Part 3: Assessment of energy consumption

This European Standard is applicable to solar supported gas-fired appliances producing domestic hot water. It applies to a system marketed as single unit or a system fully specified by a manufacturer that:
-   has a gas heat input not exceeding 70 kW; and
-   has a hot water storage capacity not exceeding 500 l; and
-   is equipped with at least one solar collector; and
-   is, with regard to the solar hydraulic circuit, considered as a forced circulation system (definition according to EN ISO 9488:1999).
The appliances covered by this European Standard are described in Annex C.
This European Standard does not apply to thermo-siphon or integral collector storage systems (definitions according to EN ISO 9488:1999).
NOTE   In principle, the energy consumption of thermo-siphon solar preheat systems and integral collector storage preheat systems can also be assessed on the basis of this standard. One appropriate procedure for that purpose is to calculate the temperature level of the domestic hot water withdrawn from the thermal solar system for the reference conditions defined in this standard by using the numerical system model and the thermal solar system performance parameters according to ISO 9459-5. Based on the temperature level of the hot water withdrawn from the store the energy consumption of the gas appliance should be determined. This determination can either be done by means of calculations or by performing a test according to EN 13203-2 and using instead of the cold water inlet temperature the hot water temperature withdrawn from the store.
This standard is not intended to assess the performance:
-   of the solar collector(s), which should comply with EN 12975-1 and EN 12975-2; and
-   thermal solar systems and components, which should comply with EN 12976-1 and EN 12976-2.

Solar unterstützte gasbeheizte Geräte für die sanitäre Warmwasserbereitung für den Hausgebrauch - Geräte, die eine Nennwärmebelastung von 70 kW und eine Speicherkapazität von 500 Liter Wasser nicht überschreiten - Teil 3: Bewertung des Energieverbrauchs

Diese Europäische Norm ist anwendbar für Solar unterstützte gasbeheizte Geräte für die sanitäre Warmwasserbereitung für den Hausgebrauch. Sie wird angewendet für ein System, das als eine einzelne Einheit gekennzeichnet ist oder für ein System, das von einem Hersteller umfassend beschrieben ist und: - eine Wärmebelastung hat, die 70 kW nicht überschreitet; und - eine Speicherkapazität für Warmwasser hat, die 500 L nicht übersteigt; und - das zumindest mit einem Sonnenkollektor ausgerüstet ist; und - das im Hinblick auf den solaren hydraulischen Kreislauf als ein erzwungenes Umlaufsystem betrachtet wird (Begriffsbestimmung nach EN ISO 9488:1999). Die Geräte, für die diese Europäische Norm gilt, werden im Anhang C beschrieben. Diese Norm ist nicht anwendbar für Thermo-Syphon-Speichersysteme oder integrierte Kollektor-Speicher-systeme (Begriffsbestimmungen nach EN ISO 9488:1999). ANMERKUNG Im Prinzip kann jedoch der Energieverbrauch von solar vorgeheizten Thermo-Syphon-Speicher-systemen und solar vorgeheizten integrierten Kollektor-Speichersystemen auf der Grundlage dieser Norm bewertet werden. Eine geeignete Verfahrensweise für diesen Zweck ist es, das Temperaturniveau des aus dem thermischen Solarsystem gezapften häuslichen Warmwassers für die in dieser Norm definierten Referenzbedingungen zu berechnen unter Verwendung des numerischen Modellsystems und der Gebrauchsparameter des thermischen Solarsystems entsprechend der ISO 9459-5. Auf der Grundlage des Temperaturniveaus des aus dem Speicher gezapften Warm-wassers soll der Energieverbrauch des Gasgerätes bestimmt werden. Diese Bestimmung kann entweder mit Hilfe von Berechnungen oder mit der Durchführung einer Prüfung entsprechend EN 13203-2 und bei Verwendung anstelle der Eintrittstemperatur des kalten Wassers die Temperatur des aus dem Speicher gezapften Warmwassers festgelegt werden.

La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux appareils de production d'eau chaude sanitaire utilisant des
combustibles gazeux et couplés à un appareil solaire. Elle s’applique à la fois aux systèmes commercialisés en
tant qu'unités complètes et aux systèmes entièrement spécifié par le fabricant :
- qui ont un débit calorifique de gaz inférieur ou égal à 70 kW ; et
- qui ont une capacité de stockage en eau inférieure ou égale à 500 litres ; et
- qui sont équipés d'au moins un capteur solaire ; et
- qui sont, au regard du circuit hydraulique solaire, considérés comme des systèmes à circulation forcée
(définition selon l'EN ISO 9488).
Les appareils couverts par la présente norme sont décrits en Annexe C.
La présente norme européenne ne s’applique pas aux installations à thermosiphon ou auto-stockeuses (définitions
selon l’EN ISO 9488 :1999).
NOTE En principe, elle peut servir à évaluer la consommation énergétique des installations de préchauffage solaire,
qu’elles soient à thermosiphon ou auto-stockeuses. Pour ce faire, il faut calculer le niveau de température de l’eau chaude
domestique puisée de l’installation solaire thermique dans les conditions de référence définies dans la présente norme à partir
du modèle numérique de l’installation et les paramètres de performance de l’installation solaire thermique suivant l’ISO 9459-5.
Selon le niveau de température de l’eau chaude puisée du ballon, il est possible de déterminer la consommation d’énergie de
l’appareil à gaz. Cette détermination doit se faire, soit par calcul, soit grâce à l’essai prévu dans l’EN 13203-2 en remplaçant la
température d’eau froide par la température de l’eau chaude puisée du ballon.
La présente norme européenne n'est pas destinée à évaluer la performance :
- des capteurs solaires qui doivent être conformes aux EN 12975-1 et EN 12975-2 ; et
- des installations solaires thermiques et leurs composants qui doivent être conformes aux EN 12976-1 et
EN 12976-2.

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 %. 4.4 Test conditions 4.4.1 General Except where otherwise stated, the appliance is tested under the following conditions. For combination gas appliances, the tests are carried out only in summer mode as defined in 3.16, and the appliance is set in summer mode. 4.4.2 Installation for test procedure The installation for testing, including thermal insulation of the components, shall be in accordance with the manufacturer specifications. The maximum length of the piping between the gas appliance and the storage tank(s) shall not exceed 3 m in total (inlet plus outlet). The minimum length of the piping between the solar collector simulator and the storage tank(s) shall be 6 m in total (inlet plus outlet) and shall not exceed 10 m.
If not specified by the manufacturer of the appliance, the piping shall be in accordance with EN 12976-2:2006, Annex B and Table B.2 (pipe diameter and insulation thickness). For drain back solar thermal systems only the mass flow rate according to the collector circuit specifications (m&) supplied by the manufacturer shall be used. 4.4.3 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. 4.4.4 Water supply For the tests:  the domestic water pressure is the static inlet pressure under dynamic conditions measured as close as possible to the system;  the inlet and outlet temperatures of the domestic water are measured in the centre of the flow and as close as possible to the system. 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 a system 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. SIST EN 13203-3:2010

4.4.7 Electrical supply The appliance is supplied with the nominal voltage or a voltage included within the range of nominal voltages. 4.4.8 Solar thermal input The solar thermal input is supplied to the solar heat exchanger of the solar tank as follows. Instead of installing the solar collector field, a solar collector simulator is connected to the hydraulic connections of the storage tank originally foreseen for the connection to the solar collector field as described in Annex D. The flow rate in the solar hydraulic circuit shall be according to the specifications of the appliance manufacturer. If not specified by the appliance manufacturer, a flow rate of 50 l/h for each square metre of aperture area of the solar collector field shall be used. 5 Determination of the energy consumption of the solar supported gas-fired appliance 5.1 General This clause defines the test methods to be employed in determining the energy consumption of the appliance. 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 kilowatt hours equivalent of hot water tapped) of each draw-off are defined.
Furthermore, the draw-off can be characterised in two ways, either: SIST EN 13203-3:2010

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 of 45 K rather than the 30 K increase 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. Table 1
