This is calculated using measurement data via a defined formula. In principle, according to this formula, low flue gas temperatures or a high CO<sub>2<\/sub> concentration, for example, have a positive effect on flue gas loss. According to the 1st BImSchV, the following limit values must be observed: \u22654 \u2013 25 kW = max. 11%, &gt; 25 \u2013 50 kW = max. 10%, &gt; 50 kW = max.      9%. The lower the flue gas loss of a heating system, the higher its efficiency (100% .\/. 5% flue gas loss = 95% efficiency). The calculation of flue gas loss marked the beginning of the ecom flue gas analyzer success story in 1985. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-5575","glossar","type-glossar","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecom.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossar\/5575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecom.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossar"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecom.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossar"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ecom.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
