Appendix J

Seasonal efficiency for solid fuel boilers from test data

This appendix specifies how to obtain a seasonal efficiency from test data on a solid fuel boiler that is provided in the Product Characteristics Database. A database record for a solid fuel boiler includes:

  • SAP seasonal efficiency, %
  • Fuel input, heat to water and heat to room from test at full load, kW
  • Fuel input, heat to water and heat to room from test at part load, kW

All efficiency values are gross (net-to-gross conversion factors are given in Table E4).
