This can be done either by the back wall itself or by a flat cooling surface (emission coefficient has to be at least 0,9) covering the whole width and height of the room placed in front of the back wall of the closed test room in accordance with EN 442-2. The space between the cooling plate and the booth back wall shall be closed off to prevent air from flowing through. Dimensions in metres

Unless other dimensions have been given by the manufacturer, the distance between the trench and the cooled back wall shall be 0,05 m (see Figure 2). For the purposes of the test, the trench in itself is covered with a thermal insulation shown in Figure 2 which has a thermal resistance of at least R =1,0 m2K/W. If the floor of the test booth is cooled then the floor has to have a thermal resistance of at least R =2,5 m2K/W. If the floor of the test booth is not cooled then there is no requirement for such a thermal resistance. SIST EN 16430-2:2015

In the case of trench convectors without fan(s) the convector length to be tested (finned length) should be 2 m; if that length is not available, the next available length > 2 m shall be tested. The length of the sample under test shall be adapted if the requirements for either the minimum or maximum thermal output according to 4.2.1 are not fulfilled. In the case of finned tube convectors, a finned length of 1 m is assumed as the module. In the case of trench convectors with fan(s) the convector length to be tested (finned length) should be at least 1 m, if that length is not available, the next available length > 1 m shall be tested. The length of the sample under test shall be adapted if the requirements for either the minimum or maximum thermal output according to 4.2.1 are not fulfilled. The convector as such is installed in the trench, applying the manufacturer's fixing material, spacers, covering, etc. and following the manufacturer's instructions. The testing application shall be accompanied by drawings showing the dimensions of the trench and the convector as well as the convector's positioning in the trench and the design of the covering. 4.1.2 Fan assisted radiators and wall mounted convectors Radiators and wall mounted convectors shall be installed according to EN 442-2. Unless other dimensions have been given by the manufacturer, the distance between the radiator / convector and the back wall of the test room shall be 0,05 m, the distance between the radiator / convector and the floor of the test room shall be 0,11 m. If it is possible to allocate the models to a certain type with a characteristic size (e. g. height) whose changes point to the fact that a continuous dependence of the thermal output can be expected, the smallest and the largest sizes each and so many intermediate sizes shall be tested that a ratio of 1:2 is not exceeded. In the case of radiators / convectors the length of the sample to be tested (in case of convectors: finned length) should be 1 m, if that length is not available, the next available length > 1 m shall be tested.

The standard heating output is to be determined at different water flow rates with the following limitations: Thermal output: min. 200 W; max. 3 500 W (according at standard conditions). 4.2.2 Determination of the thermal output 4.2.2.1 General The procedure of the test and the determination of the thermal output are performed in accordance with EN 442-2. EN 442-2, applies analogously with regard to the requirements for measuring instruments. Here, a characteristic formula: - = Km „ ûTn

EN 16430-2:2014 (E) 8 4.2.2.2 Influence of mass flow on the characteristic curve In case of an influence of the mass flow on the thermal output, it shall be estimated by performing all of the subsequent tests at standard mass flow and – additionally – at 50% and 200% of the standard mass flow. 4.2.2.3 Fan assisted radiators and convectors If the fans do not cover the entire radiator / convector, the performance of the radiator / convector is the sum of the performance of the basic units plus those of extension units. The basic unit is considered as the smallest combination of a regularly repeating radiator / convector section with fan(s). This basic section shall be indicated by the manufacturer. Examined is a combination of basic units of a length of at least 1 m (see 4.1). The performance of a basic unit is determined from this calculation. If the total length of all basic units is less than the total length of the radiator / convector, the standard heat output of the remaining length (difference) shall be determined with a fan speed of 0. (see Figure 6 and Figure 7). If a fan acts upon different lengths of a radiator / convector (e. g, a fan at the end of the radiator / convector), at least 3 lengths (small, medium, longest) shall be measured. Hence a linear characteristic is determined (see Figure 8). See the following examples (Figure 3 – Figure 9):
