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 gas meter, water flow measurement, temperature sensors and a flue-gas analyser with software that calculates heat input and useful heat output from synchronised measurements, giving an efficiency figure aligned to EN 297, EN 625 and EN 15502. It is used for certification type testing, production verification and R&D, and as an add-on measurement module for a combi boiler test rig.

How Thermal Efficiency Is Measured

Thermal efficiency is the ratio of useful heat output to the heat input from the gas. The system measures the gas flow (and therefore heat input using the gas calorific value) and the heat transferred to the water (using water flow and the temperature rise), then calculates efficiency from the two. On a standardised test the measurements are taken at steady state, and the calculation follows the method defined in the applicable standard so the result is repeatable and traceable.

Measurement Modules

  • Gas meter / heat input — gas consumption with temperature and pressure correction to determine heat input.
  • Water flow & temperature — flow rate and inlet/outlet temperatures to determine useful heat output.
  • Flue-gas analyser — O₂, CO and CO₂ to assess combustion quality and excess air.
  • Efficiency software — synchronised acquisition, automatic efficiency calculation and exportable reports.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes. We design and build non-standard test equipment from scratch — machines are drawn, engineered and manufactured for your exact test items, parameters, standards and production line layout, not modified standard products. Send us your test requirements and we will reply with a technical scheme within 3 working days.

Yes. Besides international standards, we often build machines for enterprise internal standards and acceptance criteria. Share your standard documents with our engineers and we will implement the exact test methods and pass/fail thresholds.

Yes. We provide an English operation manual, video guidance and remote commissioning support. For turnkey projects we can send engineers for on-site installation and operator training. Travel and accommodation costs are quoted separately.

We provide a 1-year whole-machine warranty. During the warranty period, non-human damage is repaired free of charge. The compressor of environmental chambers and other long-life parts follow the manufacturer warranty terms.

Shipping cost depends on the trade term: under FOB we arrange delivery to the designated port; under CIF we cover freight and insurance to the destination port; under EXW you arrange pickup from our factory. We will confirm all logistics costs clearly in the quotation.
