Introduction
This introduction presents important concepts used in this standard. Energy conversion systems As an energy conversion device (ECD) comprises a number of different components and functions, for the purpose of this Standard, two different systems are considered:
System 1, where
the calorific value determination device (CVDD) is locally installed and is considered as being fully part of the ECD, and the energy calculator (EC) will have the ability to utilise a signal generated by this locally installed CVDD for determining energy. Figure 1 shows the various components of ECD system 1.
Figure 1
— Description of ECD system 1 SIST EN 12405-2:2013
EN 12405-2:2012 (E) 6
System 2, where the CVDD may not be locally installed and is considered as an external transducer of the system, and the calculator will have the ability to accept fixed or periodically updated signals for the calorific value for determining energy. Figure 2 shows the various components of ECD system 2.
Figure 2
— Description of ECD system 2
NOTE
The various components of the ECD need to be supplied as a matched, ready-for–use, set of devices; this applies to System 1 and System 2, and mechanically integrated or separated devices (see modular and global approaches below). Modular and global approaches In the modular approach, the ECD is an assembly of separate associated measuring instruments (VCD and CVDD) and an energy calculator (EC), which are verified separately. Each instrument is verified according to its testing procedure, using the indication available on the energy calculator or on the associated measuring instrument itself. In this case, the indication shall correspond to the one which is directly processed in energy conversion. The verification of calculation consists in verifying the calculation concerning each characteristic quantity of the gas and/or the calculation for the energy conversion. The associated measuring instruments are approved for a type or some types of conversion device(s) in order to ensure the compatibility of the association. If the associated measuring instruments deliver a digital signal, they may be considered as interchangeable, provided the type examination certificate provides all the necessary conditions of compatibility with the calculator of the conversion device. In the global approach, the ECD is tested as a package, performing tests of the following functions: energy calculation, volume conversion and CV determination. The testing procedures are given in Clause 9. SIST EN 12405-2:2013
