Oil Water Heaters

 

Target Scope


Oil water heaters, except the following:

1) ones which are not the objects of JIS S 3021(2017) , 3024(2017), or JIS S 3027(2017)(without high pressure type of small oil water heaters and high pressure type of bath tub oil water heaters that are stipulated in JIS S 2091(2013)),

2) ones for business use,

3) ones for hot water supply, which are storage type for heating and are not instantaneous type for heating, or

4) ones for heaters, which are storage type for heating and are not instantaneous type for heating.

 

Energy Consumption Efficiency


①FY2006 and each subsequent fiscal year (until FY 2024)

Energy consumption efficiency shall be heat efficiency (%) measured as stipulated in JIS S 3031(2009).

②FY2025 and each subsequent fiscal year

[Hot water supply]

●Energy consumption efficiency shall be heat efficiency (%) measured as stipulated in JIS S 2075 (2011)

[Heater]

●Energy consumption efficiency shall be heat efficiency (%) measured as stipulated in JIS S 3031 (2009)

 

Categories & Target Standard Values

①FY2006 and each subsequent fiscal year (until FY 2024)

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. “For hot water supply” refers to equipment mainly used to supply hot water, including equipment featuring heating or bathing functions.
  2. “For heaters” refers to equipment mainly used for heating, including equipment that has hot water supply or bathing functions.
  3. “For baths” refers to equipment used mainly for bath use, including equipment that has hot water supply or heating functions.
  4. “Rapid heating system” refers to equipment of which heating time (as measured by the heating speed measurement method described in JIS S 3031(2009)) is within 200 seconds.
  5. “Center flue heat exchanger” refers to the air flue that penetrates the hot water supply section.
  6. “On/off control” refers to those that control by only ignition and extinction.

②FY2025 and each subsequent fiscal year

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.

【Judgment criteria exceptions】

The manufacturers of appliances are required to keep the harmonic mean of the energy consumption efficiency of appliances shipped for each fiscal year starting from the targeted fiscal year, weighted with shipment volume by category, at the same level or higher than the harmonic mean of the standard energy consumption efficiency weighted with shipment volume by category. Also as an exception, evaluation through average thermal efficiency by company is adopted.

 

Target Fiscal Year


 

Energy Efficiency Improvement


Energy consumption efficiency was improved by about 7.1 in the target fiscal year (FY2025).
