Gas Cooking Appliances

 

Target Scope


Gas cooking appliances, except the following:

1) gas rice cookers,

2) ones for business use,

3) ones using gases other than either those of City Gas 13A group or liquefied petroleum gas for fuel,

4) gas grills,

5) gas cooking tables, or

6) portable gas stoves.

 

Energy Consumption Efficiency

[Burner section]

●Energy consumption efficiency shall be heat efficiency (%) measured as stipulated in JIS S 2103.

[Grill section and oven section]

●Energy consumption efficiency shall be gas consumption per cooking (Wh).

 

Categories & Target Standard Values

[Burner section]

In the target fiscal year and each subsequent fiscal year, for each category, the weighted average value obtained by weighting energy consumption efficiency with shipment volume shall not be below the target standard value.

Remarks:
  1. “Gas range” is a combination of gas oven and gas burners.
  2. “Tabletop type” is an appliance placed on a table when used.
  3. “Built-in type” is an appliance built in a wall or a table.
  4. “Cabinet type” is an appliance installed in a specially-built cabinet.
  5. “Stationary type” is an appliance installed on a table or floor.

[Grill section and oven section]

In the target fiscal year and each subsequent fiscal year, for each category, the weighted average value obtained by weighting energy consumption efficiency with shipment volume shall not be above the target standard value which is a weighted average value obtained by weighting standard energy consumption efficiency*1 with shipment volume.

*1: Values obtained from the standard energy consumption efficiency calculation formulas.

Category Standard energy consumption efficiency calculation formulas
Combustion type Cooking Method Category name
Single Sided With water I E=25.1Vg+123
Without water J E=25.1Vg+16.4
Double Sided With water K E=12.5Vg+172
Without water L E=12.5Vg+101
Remarks:
  1. E and Vg express the following numeric values.
    E : grill section standard energy consumption efficiency (unit: Wh)
    Vg: internal volume (unit: l)
  2. “Single Sided” refers to a type that cooks food on one side.
  3. “Double Sided” refers to a type that cooks food on both sides
  4. “With water” refers to a type that cooks food on a grill plate with a water reservoir.
  5. “Without water” refers to a type that cooks food on a grill plate without a water reservoir.
  6. “Internal volume” is obtained by multiplying the grill surface area by the height from the bottom of the grill plate to the top of the inlet, and rounding to the nearest tenth.

Target Fiscal Year

[Burner section]

●FY2006 and each subsequent fiscal year.

[Grill section and oven section]

●FY2008 and each subsequent fiscal year.

 

Energy Efficiency Improvement


●For burner sections whose target fiscal year was FY2006, energy consumption efficiency was improved by about 15.8% compared with the FY2000 level.

●For grill sections whose target fiscal year was FY2008, energy consumption efficiency was improved by about 24.0% compared with the FY2002 level in the target fiscal year (FY2008).

●For oven sections whose target fiscal year was FY2008, energy consumption efficiency was improved by about 25.8% compared with the FY2002 level in the target fiscal year (FY2008).
