Gas-fired instantaneous water heaters - commercial
Energy Efficiency Regulations
Regulatory definition
Commercial gas-fired instantaneous water heater means a flow-activated water heater that uses natural gas or propane for fuel, has an input rate greater than 58.56 kW (200,000 Btu/h), has a Vr greater than 7.6 L (2 US gallons) and is designed to provide hot water at a temperature greater than 82°C (180°F).
For the purpose of these Regulations, a gas-fired instantaneous water heater is one of the following types:
- (a) household, if it has an input rate of less than 58.56 kW (200,000 Btu/h), has a Vr of no greater than 7.6 L (2 US gallons) and is designed to provide hot water at a temperature no greater than 82°C (180°F); or
- (b) commercial, if it is not described in paragraph (a).
