Components for BAC Control Loop - Sensors - Part 1: Room temperature sensors
This document specifies requirements and test methods for room temperature sensors used to control the room temperature.
This document covers wall mounted and flush mounted room temperature sensors.
The following aspects are not covered by this document:
- Pendulum temperature sensors
- Ceiling mounted temperature sensor
- Extract air temperature sensors
NOTE The measured value available at the output of the sensor is influenced by the place where the sensor device is located and factors such as air velocity, wall temperature, self/waste heating of the device and the air temperature. The perceived temperature, which is important for the well-being of a person, depends among other factors on air temperature, temperature of the surrounding walls and air flow rate as indicated in EN ISO 7730.
The temperature sensor element can be combined with other sensors in one device. This document only deals with the room temperature sensing of this devices. Other sensors are not covered except of their influence on the room temperature sensing (e.g. self-heating).
This document specifies sensor characteristics contributing to the determination of the control accuracy of individual zone controller according to EN 15500 1.

Dieses Dokument behandelt wandmontierte und bündig montierte Raumtemperatursensoren.
Die folgenden Aspekte werden in diesem Dokument nicht behandelt:
- Pendeltemperatursensoren

Introduction
Various EU Directives and National Regulations regarding energy saving and energy performance of
buildings require proof of energy efficiency.
BAC standards and Technical Reports (mainly EN ISO 52120-1, CEN ISO/TR 52120-2, EN 15500-1 and
CEN/TR 15500-2) show the impact of building automation on the energy performance of buildings.
Characteristics like Control Accuracy of Control Loops, BAC functions and BAC Strategies are important
parts specifying the energy performance. To ensure the performance of a control loop, the quality of all
elements in the control loop need to fulfil specific requirements.
A set of standards and the appropriate Technical Report (CEN/prTR 17689-1, Quality and Performance
Assessment of the components for BAC Control Loop — Umbrella Document) will cover the requirements
of the control loop elements (sensors, valves and actuators used in building automation control loops).
Classifications and test methodologies for these components will be described. The set of standards allow
the market to select appropriate components achieving a desired quality of a control loop.
This document provides requirements of room temperature sensors to ensure overall quality and
performance of the BAC Control Loop.

7 Test set-up
7.1 Test equipment
7.1.1 Climatic chamber
The tests shall be performed in a climatic chamber. It consists of an outer (1) and an inner chamber (2)
(chamber-in-chamber principle). The outer chamber (1) is thermally insulated and shall provide at least
50 mm air space around the inner chamber.
The inner chamber (2) is installed in the upper part of the outer chamber (1).
The inner chamber (2) consists of installations for generating the laminar air flow (5), the test section (3),
perforated plates at the ceiling of the test section (6) and a collecting space (14) above the test section.
The test section (3) shall have quadratic cross section of 0,6 m x 0,6 m and be at least 0,5 m high.
The test sample is installed on a wall module (4) in the centre of the test section (3) and parallel to the
walls of test section.
Supply air (7) is blown into the lower part of the outer chamber (1).
A part of the supply air (7) is used in the inner chamber (2). The air for test section (3) flows from the
other chamber (1) through the installations for generating laminar air flow (5) to the test section (3).
This should allow to build up a constant, homogenous laminar flow profile inside the test section (3).
The air flow through the test section (3) is measured by a venturi nozzle (9) in the extract air (8) of the
inner chamber. A damper (10) is used to control the air flow through the inner chamber (2).
The remaining part of the supply air (7) flows around the inner test chamber (2) to the extract air outlet
(13) of the outer chamber (1) and thereby helps to thermally insulate the inner chamber (2) from the
environment conditions.
The extract air damper of the outer chamber (11) is used for the air balancing of the test rig.
An electric heater (12) in the supply air part (7) enables rapid changes of the supply air temperature as
needed for time constant measurements.
Figure 1 shows the principle of the climatic chamber.
