5 Energy output of the domestic hot water generation sub-system 5.1 General The heat generator for a domestic hot water system shall provide the energy required for meeting the energy need for domestic hot water and for compensating the losses in the other sub-systems (e.g. distribution). The energy requirement on the heat generator is given by: lspWlsstWlsdisWWoutgenWQQQQQ,,,,,,,,+++= (MJ/day)
(1) where outgenWQ,, is the total generation output (MJ/day); WQ
is the domestic hot water requirement (see EN 15316-3-1) (MJ/day); lsdisWQ,,
is the thermal loss from domestic hot water distribution system (see EN 15316-3-2) (MJ/day); lsstWQ,,
is the thermal loss from the domestic hot water storage vessel (if present) (MJ/day); lspWQ,,
is the thermal loss from primary pipes (if present) (MJ/day). If the heat generator or generators also provide space heating, the performance of the heat generator shall be calculated separately for operation during the summer period, when there is no space heating demand, and operation during the winter period, when both space heating and domestic hot water is being provided. 5.2 Domestic hot water systems with a single heat generator If a single heat generator is applied, the total generation output has to be provided from that heat generator.
is the energy output of heat generator j during the time period considered (MJ); kindisWQ,,, is the energy input to the distribution system k during the time period considered (MJ). If more than one heat generator is applied, the total heat demand of the distribution system indisWQ,, is distributed amongst the available heat generators. The calculations are to be performed independently for each heat generator j on the basis of outgenWQ,, and jgenW,,α.
is the average temperature of stored water (oC); avgamb,θ
is the average ambient temperature (oC); sbystW,,θ∆ is the average temperature difference applied at stand-by heat loss tests (oC); sbystWQ,,
is the stand-by heat loss (MJ/day). The weekly, monthly or annual thermal losses are obtained by multiplying the thermal loss per day by the appropriate number of days. The stand-by heat loss of the storage vessel has to be measured in accordance with a European Standard or national standard, e.g. EN 12897, appropriate for the vessel size and type. The measured stand-by heat loss is based on the actual temperatures during the period of operation. The standard to be used for the measurement shall be specified in a national annex. If the stand-by heat loss of the storage vessel is not available, a value can be calculated on the basis of an equation of the form; zstWsbystWVyxQ,,,∗+= (MJ/day) (5) where stWV,
is the volume per vessel (litres); zandyx,
are constants. Values for the constanst x, y and z shall be given in a national annex. The stand-by heat loss from older storage vessels can be estimated in a similar way, where values for the constants x, y and z shall also be given in a national annex. Alternatively, a national annex may specify the stand-by heat loss based on storage volume and insulation type and thickness. If the hot water storage vessel is located within the heated space of the building, part of the storage thermal loss may be recovered (see Clause 10). Connecting pipes to the storage water heater may increase the storage thermal loss, particularly if the pipes are not insulated. These additional losses are caused by circulation set up in the connecting pipes between
EN 15316-3-2 shall be followed for the primary circulation pipes. Calculation of the thermal losses from the primary circulation pipes should be based on the actual length of the pipes, if available. If the detailed pipe network plan is not available, representative values for the pipe lengths can be applied. These values shall be given in a national annex. 8 Direct heated domestic hot water generation devices 8.1 General Energy labelling legislation requires efficiency measurements to be obtained fo
