4.4 Test setup

The measurement setup shall correspond to Annex B.
5 Energy efficiency
5.1 Test methods
5.1.1 General
The following tests are required to enable the values of Q , Q and AEC to be calculated using the
cor
elec
formulas described in 5.2 for a chosen tapping pattern as defined in Annex A. Losses resulting during
idling are not taken into account.
5.1.2 Static efficiency
This test shall measure the static loss of the appliance P at nominal load P under steady state
loss nom
conditions.
If the appliance has a power selector, the selector should be adjusted to the highest value. If the
appliance has an independent flow control, it shall be adjusted to achieve the value stated in the
manufacturer's installation instructions, or where this is not stated, it shall be set to the highest value.
If the appliance has a temperature control, the selector shall be adjusted to the highest value.
For the purpose of this test result is independent from the water inlet temperature; therefore this test can
be carried out with a cold water inlet temperature in the range of 10 to 25°C. The inlet water temperature
and flow rate must be such that the appliance is caused to operate at full power continuously.
The value of P is the power consumption of the appliance measured after a minimum of 30 minutes of
nom
operation under full load conditions.
The value of P is the sum of all internal power losses (product of current and voltage losses between
loss
the terminals and the heating elements) of the appliance measured after a minimum of 30 minutes of
operation under full load conditions.
For instantaneous water heaters with semiconductor power switches (e.g Triacs) the voltage across the
semiconductor power terminals is subtracted from the measured voltage losses, if the semiconductor
power switches are thermally connected to the water pipe. In this case, the heat developed by the
semiconductor power switches is transferred to useful energy to heat up the water.
The static efficiency is calculated from the formula:
PP−

η =

P nominal power consumption of the appliance in kW

5.1.3 Start-up losses
This test shall measure the time t which elapses between energizing the heating elements and the
start
i
delivery of useable water and the power consumption P of the appliance at steady state during the
static
i
delivery of useable water for each different draw-off of the chosen load pattern of Annex A. The test
method assumes the power consumption of the appliance during the start-up period is equal to the power
consumed in steady state conditions of the appliance for the specific draw-off i.
If the appliance has a power selector, the selector should be adjusted to the highest value. If the
appliance has an independent flow control, it shall be adjusted to achieve the value stated in the
manufacturer's installation instructions, or where this is not stated, it shall be set to the highest value.
If the appliance has a temperature control, the selector should be adjusted to the highest value.
The prescribed minimum flow rate f of each individual draw-off of the tapping pattern is used as defined
i
in Annex A. If this is not achievable increase the flow rate until the appliance is able to provide hot water
continuously with static heating conditions This increased flow rate is used for the individual draw-off
instead of the prescribed minimum flow rate. It may be necessary to determine the required flow rate for
each individual draw-off where the product may not be able to run continuously at the prescribed
minimum flow rate by experimentation before beginning the full series of draw-offs for the chosen load
pattern of Annex A.
Three measurements shall be performed for each specific draw-off type i and the mean value calculated
from these measurements. Each of these measurements shall be performed with the product flushed.
This should be done by flowing cold water through the product without the heating elements being
energised and monitoring the inlet and outlet temperatures until the difference between the inlet and
outlet temperatures is within 1K.
The start-up loss for each specific draw-off i is calculated from the formula:
t

Q = P ×

t measured start-up time in seconds

5.1.4 Determination of the smart control factor SCF

NOTE The calculation of the water heating energy efficiency of water heaters is based on tapping profiles.
These tapping profiles are based on the energy content of the withdrawn water.
In the case of electric instantaneous water heaters (EIWH) different technologies exist, hydraulically and
electronically controlled products. Electronic electric instantaneous water heaters (EEIWH), through an
electronic control system are better able to fine-tune the electrical power co
