SR EN 13203-3:2022

This document is applicable to solar supported gas-fired appliances producing domestic hot water. It applies to a system marketed as single unit or a fully specified system that: - has a gas heat input not exceeding 70 kW; - has a hot water storage tank capacity not exceeding 500 l; - is equipped with at least one solar collector; - 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 document are described in Annex E (normative). This document does not apply to thermo-siphon or integral collector storage tank systems according to definitions given by EN ISO 9488:1999. NOTE In principle, the energy consumption of thermo-siphon solar preheat systems and integral collector storage tank preheat systems can also be assessed based on this document. One appropriate procedure for that purpose is to calculate the temperature level of the domestic hot water withdrawn from the thermal solar system for the reference conditions specified in this standard by using the numerical s
