M/498 - Pumps

This document specifies methods and procedures for testing, calculating and determining the Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of rotodynamic glanded single pump units for pumping clean water, including where integrated in other products.
The pump types and sizes covered by this document are described in the normative Annex A.

This document describes a methodology to evaluate energy efficiency performance of pump units based on a non-dimensional numerical value called Energy Efficiency Index (EEI).
This document covers pump units consisting of:
-   one single or several rotodynamic water pump(s), including where integrated in other products, and driven by a motor system, consisting of an electrical motor, and either:
-   a terminal box which only enables to operate the pump unit at constant motor stator frequency and thereby (nearly) constant rotational speed, or
-   a CDM (Complete Drive Module) which enables to operate the pump unit at variable rotational speed depending on a varying demand of flow rate and/or discharge or differential pressure.
NOTE   A CDM is also often called VSD (Variable Speed Drive).
Pump units as defined above are treated as extended products in respect to their energy efficiency.

This European Standard specifies performance requirements (methods and procedures for testing and calculating) for determining the Minimum Efficiency Index (MEI) of rotodynamic glanded water pumps for pumping clean water, including where integrated in other products.
The pump types and sizes covered by this standard are described in the Annex A. These pumps are designed and produced as duty pumps for pressures up to 16 bar for end suction pumps and up to 25 bar for multistage pumps, temperatures between -10 °C and +120 °C and 4" or 6" size for submersible multistage pumps at operating temperatures within a range of 0 °C and 90 °C.
In addition, this standard specifies how the value of the Minimum Efficiency Index (MEI) of a pump size indicated by the manufacturer can be checked by market surveillance.
Even if it is left free to the manufacturer of a pump size how to prove the rated value of the Minimum Efficiency Index (MEI), nevertheless this standard specifies a method to prove that this rated value meets the requirements within the confidence intervals with a sufficiently high probability.

The pump types and sizes covered by this document are described in the Annex A. These pumps are designed and produced as duty pumps for pressures up to 16 bar for end suction pumps and up to 25 bar for multistage pumps, for all pumps designed for fluid temperatures between −10 °C and +120°C. Also covered are 4" (10,16 cm) and 6" (15,24 cm) submersible multistage pumps designed for fluid temperatures between 0 °C and 90 °C.

This European Standard specifies the test conditions for the rating of air conditioners, liquid chilling packages and heat pumps, using either, air, water or brine as heat transfer media, with electrically driven compressors when used for space heating and/or cooling. This European Standard specifies the conditions for which performance data shall be declared for single duct and double duct units for compliance to the Ecodesign regulation 206/2012 and Energy labelling regulation 626/2011.

1.1   The scope of EN 14511-1 is applicable.
1.2   This European Standard specifies the test conditions for the rating of air conditioners, liquid chilling packages and heat pumps, using either, air, water or brine as heat transfer media, with electrically driven compressors when used for space heating and/or cooling. It also specifies test conditions for heat recovery operation of multisplit systems.
1.3   This European Standard specifies the conditions for which performance data shall be declared for single duct and double duct units for compliance to the Ecodesign regulation 206/2012 and Energy labelling regulation 626/2011.
