Heating-Check Made Easy – One Instrument is Enough!

Older heating installations offer a tremendous potential for saving energy cost. Therefore, the EU directive requires amongst other things in the total energy efficiency of buildings, a single inspection of a heating installation whose heat generating appliance is older than 15 years. Based on this inspection, the so-called ‘Heating-Check’ can evaluate a heating installation regarding boiler size, heat distribution, heat transfer and heat requirement of the building and compile an official test report which provides advice to the user regarding alterations to improve the heating system (Energy efficiency test of heating installations according to DIN EN 15378). With the new Flue Gas Analyser Eurolyzer ST from Afriso-Euro-Index (Germany) the complete standardised ‘Heating-Check’ can be carried out simply, quickly and reliably. The user then receives the computer aided analysis immediately on site, together with advice on how to permanently save energy to a considerable extent.

The Heating-Check represents an explicit, standardised process for the inspection of heating installations in order to identify weaknesses in energy efficiency, primarily in older, but also in newer heating installations.
In times of high energy costs, climate discussions and the energy saving directive, advice on energy is gaining momentum and provides a business opportunity for qualified persons. With the latest Flue Gas Analyser Eurolyzer St, all adjustment and control check measurements which are necessary for the complete Heating-Check can be carried out and listed in an Inspection Report. Generally, the following characteristics are measured, visually inspected and evaluated; (1.) Heat generating; Checking of boiler with regard to flue gas-surface and ventilation losses, heat value utilisation, over-dimensioning and system control; (2.) Heat distribution; Hydraulic adjustment, heating pump, insulation of pipes, storage vessels and fittings; (3.) Heat transfer; Room temperature control via radiators, convectors or under floor heating systems. It is possible to carry out the Heating-Check reliably and quickly thanks to simple and intuitive menu-guidance. Immediately upon having determined the energy saving possibilities, it is possible to show some real action proposals. The documentation of all measurement results can be printed out on site in a clearly understandable form and can also be saved on Micro-SD-Card. The flue gas analysis instruments, including Eurolyzer ST, Multilyzer NG and Maxilyzer NG are already in use in the market place and can be retro-fitted with the “Heating-Check“ software. All Afriso Flue Gas Analysis instruments are approved according to BImSchV and KÜO (TÜV By RgG 190) as well as to DIN EN 50379-2.
