Ready for the next milestone
Published: 21 June, 2018
The September deadline for the ErP Directive for Warm Air Heaters 2018 (Lot 21), is fast approaching. New legislation has changed the way that the seasonal efficiency of heating equipment is calculated. Danny Packham, European product manager – warm air and radiant, from NORTEK GLOBAL HVAC, outlines the key points.
Gas fired warm air and radiant heating systems are long-standing technologies associated with effectively heating large open (industrial or commercial) spaces. By burning the fuel at point of use currently provides an efficient thermal and seasonal efficiency, the way in which manufacturers calculate seasonal efficiency (from 1st January 2018 changed due to ErP (Energy related Products) legislation coming into force.

NORTEK reports that warm air, radiant and heating products are now affected by European Regulations. Warm air heaters are subject to Lot 21 of the directive and radiant heaters Lot 20. Minimum efficiencies for warm air is now 72% and radiant heaters is now 74%. Crucially, these minimum criteria are applicable for both new installations and when replacing existing products. As a result, Nortek says customers can be assured that the heating equipment they are purchasing is highly energy efficient and emissions of harmful environmental pollutants are constrained.
