Die Norm EN 1736:2008 behandelt die Anforderungen, das Design und die Installation von flexiblen Rohrelementen, Vibrationsdämpfer, Erweiterungsfugen und nicht-metallischen Rohren in Kältesystemen und Wärmepumpen. Der Geltungsbereich dieser Norm ist klar definiert und konzentriert sich auf die spezifischen Komponenten, die in den Kältemittelkreisläufen dieser Systeme verwendet werden. Hierbei werden sowohl metallische als auch nicht-metallische Komponenten berücksichtigt. Ein wesentlicher Stärke der Norm liegt in den detaillierten Vorgaben zur Bewertung der Dichtheit von nicht-metallischen Rohren, wie beispielsweise Kunststoffrohren, die in den Verdampfungs- und Kondensationsbereichen eingesetzt werden. Diese Anforderungen sind entscheidend, um die Effizienz und Sicherheit der Kühlsysteme zu gewährleisten. Des Weiteren spezifziert die Norm, dass sie nicht für flexible Rohre gilt, die nur gelegentlich über die elastische Grenze belastet werden, wie beispielsweise bei Reparaturarbeiten, oder für Verbindungen, die sich frei drehen oder schwenken können. Diese Einschränkung trägt dazu bei, dass die Norm in ihrem Geltungsbereich präzise bleibt und somit die Anwendbarkeit in der Praxis sichert. Die Relevanz der EN 1736:2008 ist hoch, da sie Fachleuten in der Kälte- und Klimatechnik eine wertvolle Richtlinie bietet, um sicherzustellen, dass die installierten Systeme den erforderlichen Standards entsprechen und effizient arbeiten. Die Norm fördert zudem die Sicherheit, indem sie klare Anforderungen an die Planung und Installation stellt, was unverzichtbar für die Langlebigkeit und den zuverlässigen Betrieb der Kälteanlagen und Wärmepumpen ist. Zusammenfassend liefert die EN 1736:2008 ein umfassendes Regelwerk, das sowohl das Design als auch die Installation von flexiblen Rohrelementen und nicht-metallischen Rohren in Kühlsystemen präzise regelt, und damit einen bedeutenden Beitrag zur Qualifikation und Standardisierung in diesem technischen Bereich leistet.

The EN 1736:2008 standard delineates essential requirements, design principles, and installation guidelines for flexible pipe elements, vibration isolators, expansion joints, and non-metallic tubes specifically within refrigerating systems and heat pumps. Its comprehensive scope ensures that all components critical to the efficient and safe operation of refrigerant circuits are adequately addressed, enhancing the reliability of such systems. One of the key strengths of EN 1736:2008 is its detailed specification of the design and installation requirements, which are crucial for maintaining the integrity of refrigerant flow and minimizing potential leaks or failures. The inclusion of criteria for both metallic and non-metallic elements allows for a versatile application, catering to various system types while emphasizing the safety and durability of components used. Additionally, the standard’s focus on the tightness qualifications for non-metallic tubes, including plastics used in evaporating and condensing sides, underscores its relevance in an era where energy efficiency and environmental concerns are paramount. As refrigerating systems and heat pumps rely heavily on the proper functioning of these elements, adherence to EN 1736:2008 assists manufacturers and installers in meeting operational effectiveness while mitigating risks associated with system failures. It is important to note, however, that the standard explicitly excludes flexible pipes subjected only to occasional stress beyond their elastic limit, as well as joints allowed to rotate or hinge. This clarification helps delineate the scope and application of the standard, ensuring users are aware of its limitations and can apply the guidelines appropriately in their specific contexts. Overall, EN 1736:2008 serves as a critical reference document that not only sets forth vital requirements for the design and installation of components in refrigerating systems and heat pumps but also reinforces best practices that lead to enhanced performance and reliability in these essential technologies.
