Testing boilers and determining thermal efficiency

Abstract

The purpose of testing the boilers is to verify the guarantees presented by the manufacturer or, as the case may be, by the repairer and it is carried out in the following cases:
- on the occasion of the homologation of a prototype, in order to move to the series production; the purpose of the test is to confirm the parameters that are established by this project, respectively to finalize these parameters;
- when a boiler is put into operation for the first time, with the purpose of checking the parameters established by the project for the respective typeseries, on the occasion of the homologation of the prototype and guaranteed for compliance by the construction or installation company;
- after carrying out a repair that had the effect of changing one or more parameters, with the aim of confirming and, respectively, finalizing the new parameters established by the repair project.
