Standard 146 provides methods of test testing for heating capacity and energy efficiency for rating pool heaters. The standard applies to forced-circulation heaters operated by gas, oil, and/or electricity, as well as hybrid heaters.
New in the 2020 edition:
– Reformatted the standard as a method of test.
– Expanded the scope to include heat-pump pool heaters that use earth, water, or brine as the heat source and hybrid pool heaters equipped with both a fossil-fueled burner and a heat pump.
– Revised the test method to address the products included by the expanded scope.
– Updated definitions and references.
– Modified the specification for use of the optional recirculating loop to make clear it applies only when required by the manufacturer.
– Added test methods to measure the standby and OFF-mode energy consumption.
– Deleted two obsolete informative appendices have been deleted and added a new Informative Appendix B describing test conditions used by the U.S. Department of Energy to rate pool heaters.
