Safety and control devices for burners and appliances burning gaseous or liquid fuels - Control functions in electronic systems - Temperature Control function

This European Standard specifies the safety, design, construction and performance requirements for Temperature Control Function (TCF) and Combustion Product Discharge Safety Device (TTB) intended for use with burners and appliances using gaseous or liquid fuels.
It also describes the test procedures for checking compliance with these requirements.
This European Standard is applicable to AC and DC supplied TCF and TTB (for TCF and TTB supplied by stand-alone battery system, battery systems for mobile applications or systems which are intended to be connected to DC supply networks, see Annex I).
This European Standard is applicable to electronically based TTB and TCF only.

Sicherheits- und Regeleinrichtungen für Brenner und Brennstoffgeräte für gasförmige oder flüssige Brennstoffe - Regelfunktionen in elektronischen Systemen - Temperaturüberwachungsfunktion

Dieses Dokument legt Sicherheits-, Ausführungs-, Konstruktions-, Funktionsanforderungen und die Prüfung der Temperaturüberwachungsfunktionen (TCF) und Sicherheitseinrichtungen zur Abgasüberwachung (TTB) für gasförmige und flüssige Brennstoffe und Brennstoffgeräte fest, die ein oder mehr gasförmige oder flüssige Brennstoffe verbrennen, die im weiteren Verlauf als "TCF" oder "TTB" bezeichnet werden.
Außerdem werden die Prüfverfahren für die Überprüfung der Übereinstimmung mit diesen Anforderungen beschrieben.
Dieses Dokument gilt für TCF und TTB, die mit Wechsel- und Gleichspannung betrieben werden (für TCF und TTB, die mit unabhängigen Batteriesystemen, Batteriesystemen für die mobile Anwendung oder Systemen für den Anschluss an Gleichspannungsnetze betrieben werden, siehe Anhang I).
Dieses Dokument gilt ausschließlich für elektronisch betriebene TTB und TCF.
Für beide, TTB und TCF, gelten die Anforderungen in diesem Dokument für die Kombination von Messfühler und Steuerung.

Équipements auxiliaires pour brûleurs et appareils utilisant des combustibles gazeux ou liquides - Dispositifs de contrôle des systèmes électroniques - Dispositifs de régulation de la température

Le présent document spécifie les exigences de sécurité, de conception, de construction, de fonctionnement et d’essais applicables aux dispositifs de régulation de la température (TCF) et aux dispositifs de contrôle de l'évacuation des produits de combustion (TTB) destinés à être utilisés sur des brûleurs et dans des appareils utilisant des combustibles gazeux ou liquides désignés dans le document par ‘TCF’ et ‘TTB’.
Il décrit également les procédures d'essai ayant pour objet de vérifier la conformité avec ces exigences.
Ce document est applicable aux dispositifs TCF et TTB alimentés en courant alternatif et en courant continu (pour les dispositifs TCF et TTB alimentés par des systèmes de batterie autonomes, des systèmes de batterie pour applications mobiles ou des systèmes destinés à être connectés à des réseaux d’alimentation en courant continu, voir l'Annexe I).

Introduction
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 13611:2019.
The generic requirements for controls are given in EN 13611:2019 and methods for classification and
assessment for new controls and control functions are given in EN 14459:2021.
This control standard refers to clauses of EN 13611:2019 or adapts it by stating “with the following
modification”, “with the following addition”, “is replaced by the following” or “is not applicable” in the
corresponding clause. This document adds clauses or subclauses to the structure of EN 13611:2019
which are particular to this document, subclauses or annexes that are additional to those in
EN 13611:2019 are numbered starting from 101 or are designated as Annex AA, BB, CC, etc.
This control standard describes requirements for two types of temperature-based Appliance Control
Functions.
1) Temperature Control Function
The temperature control function (in the following called TCF) is a system that consists of temperature
sensing, signal processing, switching actions (on/off or protective action) and reset (see Figure 1).
The purpose of a TCF is to control the temperature (temperature regulator) and to prevent the risk of
excessive temperature (temperature limiter) which could lead to the hazard of overheating for gas and
liquid fuel burning appliances.

2) TTB
The Appliance Control Function TTB (Combustion Product Discharge Safety Device) is intended to
provide protection against poisoning and suffocation in case of a (partially) blocked flue. This document
provides the requirements for electronic TTBs consisting of:
— a control that can take a protective action; and
— a sensing element that monitors a significant physical value in relation to the spillage of combustion
products into the environment where the gas appliance is installed.
NOTE Instead of TTB, the term “Combustion Product Discharge Safety Device” is used in EN 15502–2–2.

Introduction
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 13611:2019.
The generic requirements for controls are given in EN 13611:2019 and methods for classification and
assessment for new controls and control functions are given in EN 14459:2015.
This control standard refers to clauses of EN 13611:2019 or adapts it by stating “with the following
modification”, “with the following addition”, “is replaced by the following” or “is not applicable” in the
corresponding clause. This document adds clauses or subclauses to the structure of EN 13611:2019
which are particular to this document, subclauses or annexes that are additional to those in
EN 13611:2019 are numbered starting from 101 or are designated as Annex AA, BB, CC etc.
This control standard describes requirements for two types of temperature-based Appliance Control
Functions.
1) Temperature Control Function
The temperature control function (in the following called TCF) is a system that consists of temperature
sensing, signal processing, switching actions (on/off or protective action) and reset (see Figure 1).
The purpose of a TCF is to control the temperature (temperature regulator) and to prevent the risk of
excessive temperature (temperature limiter) which could lead to the hazard of overheating for gas and
liquid fuel burning appliances. A TCF requires a class C system, based on a comparison, made between an
automatic burner control system and a temperature control function, the implication on safety of either
function being considered equivalent. Gas and liquid fuel appliance standards can allow a lower class in
combination with constructional measures, as long as the overall result for TCF is a class C.
Traditional solutions, using a combination of mechanical thermostats as specified in the appliance
standards (e.g. EN 15502-1) have been considered to fulfil the requirements. This assumption is based
on specific mechanical solutions, originating from practice over many years and relying on redundancy
as the principle.

2) TTB
The Appliance Control Function TTB (Combustion Product Discharge Safety Device) is intended to
provide protection against poisoning and suffocation in case of a (partially) blocked flue. This clause
provides the requirements for electronic TTBs consisting of:
— a control that can take a protective action and
— a sensing element that monitors a significant physical value in relation to the spillage of combustion
products into the environment where the gas appliance is installed.
If the spillage reaches a pre-set level, the TTB should initiate a protective action. Allowable spillage is
determined by the application standard.
NOTE Instead of TTB, the term “Combustion Product Discharge Safety Device” is used in EN 15502-2-2.
For both TTB and TCF, the requirements in this document are applicable to the combination of sensing
element and control.
