(f) a hot water boiler of an installation in which water is heated to the highest output temperature of 110 ° C by burning solid, liquid or gaseous fuels;
(g) the heat-exchange surface of the walls of the boiler parts by which heat is transferred to the working substance;
(h) the rated heat output of the boiler is the amount of heat that the boiler must transmit permanently to the heat carrier under specified steady state conditions and using the fuel prescribed by the manufacturer;
