The Thermal Efficiency Test System (Model WH-TE-Series) is a dedicated measurement system for determining the thermal efficiency and heat input of gas-fired boilers, water heaters and cooking appliances. It combines a flue-gas analyser, flow and temperature measurement and data software to calculate the useful heat delivered relative to the gas energy consumed — the core efficiency metric used in EN 297 and EN 625 certification. This is the equipment behind searches for thermal efficiency test equipment.

Thermal efficiency (ηth) is calculated from useful heat output divided by heat input — ηth = (Quseful / Qinput) × 100% — measured under the standardized conditions in the applicable EN standard. The background and the CO-emission side of the measurement are explained in thermal efficiency & CO emission testing.

What the System Measures

  • Heat input — gas flow and calorific measurement of the energy supplied.
  • Useful heat output — water flow and temperature rise (water heaters/boilers).
  • Flue gas — O₂, CO and CO₂ for combustion efficiency and excess-air analysis.
  • Efficiency result — automatic ηth calculation under the standard’s conditions.
  • Data logging — time-series capture and exportable certification reports.

Standards & Compliance

The system is configured for the efficiency methods of EN 297 (gas-fired central-heating boilers), EN 625 (gas-fired storage water heaters), EN 15502 (condensing boilers) and the relevant GB standards; see the EN 15502 guide and GB 6932. It is typically used alongside the combi boiler test rig and wall-hung boiler test bench; documentation is summarized on certifications.

Standalone or Integrated

The system can be delivered as a standalone efficiency bench or integrated into a wall-hung boiler test bench or a laboratory type-test rig, where the efficiency result is logged alongside combustion and safety data. For water heater lines it pairs with the gas water heater test bench.

How a Test Runs

  1. Install gas, water and flue-gas instrumentation and bring the appliance to rated conditions.
  2. Steady the appliance and record gas input, water flow and temperatures.
  3. Sample flue gas for O₂/CO/CO₂ and compute combustion efficiency.
  4. The software calculates ηth and exports a traceable report.

Key Features

  • Integrated flue-gas, flow and temperature measurement.
  • Automatic efficiency calculation to EN 297 / EN 625 methods.
  • Suitable for boilers, water heaters and cooking appliances.
  • High-resolution data logging for certification.
  • OEM configuration of sensor ranges and reports.

Applications

  • Boiler & water heater manufacturers — design verification and certification efficiency data.
  • Certification laboratories — standardized efficiency measurement.
  • R&D teams — combustion optimization and heat-exchanger development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions from global customers about customization, delivery, certification and after-sales support.

Our equipment is developed in line with IEC, EN and GB standards for gas appliances, electric appliances and environmental testing — including EN 30, EN 26, EN 15502, GB 16410, GB 6932, IEC 60335 and IEC 60068 series. Tell us the standards your product must meet, and we will configure the machine accordingly.

Yes, we accept irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight for larger orders. Please provide your issuing bank details and we will confirm the terms with our bank.

For non-standard test equipment, the minimum order quantity is 1 set. Each machine is built to order, so you can start with a single prototype line and expand later with the same design.

All machines are packed in export-grade wooden cases with internal shock protection and moisture-proof treatment. The packing meets international shipping standards and protects the equipment through sea or air freight.

For any issue, contact our after-sales team via email or WhatsApp with photos or a short video. We provide 24-hour online remote support to diagnose and guide repairs. Spare parts are shipped express if replacement is needed.
