Energy Efficiency Test Appliance Performance Test Lab For Storage Water Heater

Standard:

IEC 60379 Methods for measuring the performance of electric storage water-heaters for household purposes.

Application:

This system is to perform the performance characteristics of electric storage water-heaters which are of interest to the user and to describe the standard methods for measuring these characteristics. Appliance Performance Test Lab

The performance of water-heaters is determined by the following measurements:

verification of rated capacity; standing loss per 24; hot-water output; deviation of dial-calibration; cyclic variation (differential).

Feature:

Measurements are carried out on the water-heater, operating:

— in a substantially draught-free room;

— at an ambient temperature, θ_amb of 20 ± 2 °C.

— at a relative air-humidity not exceeding 85%.

— at rated input.

— at rated frequency, if applicable;

— mounted as described in Clause 9, supplied with water at a temperature θ_C of 15 ± 2 °C and provided from a source having a substantially steady pressure and installed according to the manufacturer's instructions;

— at a thermostat-setting as described in Clause 11.
