GB24848-2010
Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and energy efficiency grades for heater of petroleum industry
石油工业用加热炉能效限定值及能效等级
GB 24848-2010 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and energy efficiency grades for heater of petroleum industry. It appears in the Construction compliance cluster with a energy efficiency focus and has an implementation date of Dec 1, 2010.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to heaters used in the petroleum industry operating at altitudes below 3500m, specifically those used in onshore oil and gas fields and long-distance pipelines. It covers heaters fueled by gas or liquid (oil) with a rated thermal load ranging from 40kW to 12000kW. This standard does not apply to heaters using solid fuels. It is essential for manufacturers and operators of petroleum heating equipment to ensure compliance with these energy efficiency regulations.
Technical requirements
The standard establishes a 3-tier energy efficiency grading system for petroleum heaters, where Grade 1 represents the highest efficiency. It defines the minimum allowable values of energy efficiency (mandatory as Grade 3) and target minimum allowable values to be implemented three years after the standard's enactment. Additionally, it sets evaluating values for energy conservation (aligned with Grade 2). The efficiency requirements are categorized based on the rated thermal load (P) and differ between gas-fired and oil-fired heaters. Compliance with the minimum allowable values (Grade 3) is mandatory for all heaters within the specified scope. The standard references SY/T 0540 for the classification of rated thermal load series.
Testing methods
The thermal efficiency of the heaters must be determined according to the methods specified in SY/T 6381, which covers the thermal performance measurement for heaters. This ensures standardized testing procedures for evaluating compliance with the energy efficiency grades and limits.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 24848-2010?
GB 24848-2010 regulates gas-fired and oil-fired heaters used in the petroleum industry, specifically those in onshore oil/gas fields and long-distance pipelines with a rated thermal load between 40kW and 12000kW.
Are there any updates or future requirements in GB 24848-2010?
Yes, the standard includes target minimum allowable values of energy efficiency. Three years after the implementation date, heaters must meet these stricter target efficiency limits.
What is the difference between the energy efficiency grades in GB 24848-2010?
The standard defines 3 grades, with Grade 1 being the most efficient. Grade 3 represents the mandatory minimum allowable values, while Grade 2 represents the evaluating values for energy conservation.
