1 Scope
This standard applies to charging control systems for household electric room heating (systems) of the
storage type with internal energy source (resistors).
The object of this standard is to list and define, for the information of the users, the main performance
characteristics of the charging control systems and to describe standard methods for verifying these
characteristics and to improve quality. This standard does not deal with safety requirements.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 60531 Household electric thermal storage room heaters – Methods for measuring
performance (IEC 60531, modified)
3 Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
charging control system
system which consists of control and adjustment elements for the charging of storage heating units (e.g.
storage heaters)
A charging control system regulates the heat content of a storage heating unit within an allowed charging
period as a function of the climatic conditions. The assembly of all the components required to carry out
this task is called charging control system.
The individual components can have one or several functions and can consist of several elements
3.2
outside sensor
component which measures the outside climatic conditions (e.g. temperature) and transmits the
measured value as an information to other components of the charging control
3.3
central control unit
component which transmits command settings to other components as a function of information received
from sensors and as a function of the daily charge program
3.4
timer
component which determines the start time and end time of a charge within an allowed charge period
3.5
group control unit
component which amplifies the command setting of the central controller and facilitates the matching of
individual heat requirements
– 5 – EN 50350:2004
3.6
charge controller
the charge controller of a storage heating unit (e.g. storage heater) is a component which controls the
charge as a function of the heat content and the command setting of the central controller or the group
controller. This enables each storage heating unit to be matched to the heat requirements of the
individual rooms
3.7
characteristic curve adjuster
adjustable element of a component of a charging control system which enables to modify the
characteristic curve of an output signal
3.7.1
accessible to the service engineer only
a characteristic curve adjuster is considered to be accessible only to the service engineer if the
characteristic curve adjuster requires tools for setting
3.7.2
accessible to the user
a characteristic curve adjuster is considered to be accessible to the user if the characteristic curve
adjuster can be freely set and the setting read on a scale in case of normal installation conditions of the
charging control system
3.8
charge period
period during which the storage heater is enabled to convert electrical power into heat in order to store it
in the accumulating core
3.8.1
supply charge period
longest period (in hours) of uninterrupted electrical supply to the heater
NOTE The length of this period is set and shall be published by the utility.
3.8.2
additional supply charge period
any period of uninterrupted electrical supply to the heater, additional to the supply charge period
NOTE The length and sequence of these periods are set and shall be published by the utility.
3.8.3
supplementary charge period (T – in hours)
zf
sum of additional supply charge periods in a daily charge program
3.8.4
daily charge program
sequence of charge periods (supply and additional supply periods) over a 24 h cycle, beginning with the
supply charge period
3.9
load characteristic
property of a charging control system which determines the switching-on behaviour of storage heating
units within the daily charge program. The changeover from the main load characteristic to the
supplementary load characteristic occurs at time T
3.9.1
forward charging
takes place when the charge switches on at the start of the supply charge period and instant of switching-
off is set by the climatic conditions and the heat content of the storage heating units
3.9.2
backward charging
takes place when instant of switching the charge on is set by the climatic conditions and by the heat
content of the storage heating units and instant of switching-off is given by the end of the supply charge
period
3.9.3
spread charging
modified form of backward charging. The instant of switching-on and switching-off are set by the climatic
conditions, the heat content of the storage heating units and a time function
4 Classification
4.1 According to the time function
Central control unit with timer.
Central control unit without timers.
4.2 According to the location of the charge controller
Located in the storage heater.
Located outside the storage heater.
4.3 According to the specification of variables
Type A: AC voltage - power based signal.
Type B: DC voltage.
Type C: AC voltage - digitised signal.
Type D: AC voltage - binary signal.
