Annex VI to Directive 2014/32/EU is amended as follows:
(1) the part DEFINITIONS is amended as follows:
(a) the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
A thermal energy meter is an instrument designed to measure the energy which in a heat-exchange circuit is absorbed (cooling) and/or given off (heating) by a liquid called the thermal energy-conveying liquid.;
(b) in the table, the fourth row is replaced by the following:
Δθ=the temperature difference θin – θοut with Δθ ≥ 0 for heating and Δθ ≤ 0 for cooling;
(2) the part SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS is amended as follows:
(a) point 1.1 is replaced by the following:
1.1. For the temperature of the liquid: θmax, θmin,
for the temperature differences: Δθmax, Δθmin, subject to the following restrictions:
Δθmax / Δθmin ≥ 10
with the exception of cooling applications;
Δθmin is a whole number in the range of 1 K and 10 K.;
(b) point 1.3 is replaced by the following:
1.3. For the flow rates of the liquid: qs, qp, qi, where the values of qp and qi are subject to the following restriction: qp / qi ≥ 5..
