Summary

Space and DHW heating appliances play a major role in increasing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A number of recent publications identified fuel driven sorption heat pumps (FSHP) as a promising technology which can considerably contribute to these goals, compared with current state-of-the-art gas appliances. The EU Ecodesign Regulation and the Implementing Regulations for different groups of energy-related products have highlighted the need for unbiased and transparent testing and performance evaluation methods. Although the technology is not new, the market is still developing and the current standards have yet to be evaluated regarding their applicability, unambiguousness and comprehensiveness. Within the IEA HPT Annex 43 and the EcoTest Projects round robin tests on gas driven sorption heat pumps have been performed based on the current European standards. In this paper, the results of the test will be presented with an emphasis on the assessment of the test and evaluation methods and their comparison. As one of the results, shortcomings of the methods and possible improvements have been detected and provided to the relevant CEN Technical Committees for further consideration.
