- Abstract
- A computer-based laboratory for testing residential water ehaters has been fabricated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This paper describes the automated laboratory, summarizes existing and proposed Department of Energy test procedures for residential water heaters, and presents experimental results for six electric, five gas-fired, and two oil-fired storage-type water heaters obtained from local distributors.
