Ventilation for buildings - Performance testing of components/products for residential ventilation - Part 6: Exhaust ventilation system packages used in a single dwelling

This European Standard specifies laboratory methods for measuring the aerodynamic and acoustic performance characteristics and energy consumption of assembled exhaust ventilation system packages for a single dwelling. If a component of the package is not physically linked to the others (e.g. externally/internally mounted air transfer devices), then it is assumed to have been tested according to the test method related to this component. An example of a typical exhaust package is given in Figure 2.
The object of this standard is to provide tested characteristics for a system package in worst case conditions. It is assumed that better values are achieved on site when the system package is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction and within the limits of the test conditions given in this standard. Safety requirements are given in EN 60335-2-80.

Prezračevanje stavb - Preskušanje lastnosti stanovanjskih prezračevalnih komponent/izdelkov - 6. del: Odvodni prezračevalni sistemi za eno stanovanje

Ta evropski standard določa laboratorijske metode za merjenje aerodinamičnih in akustičnih lastnosti ter porabo energije v nameščenih odvodnih prezračevalnih sistemih za eno stanovanje. Če komponenta sistema fizično ni povezana z drugimi (npr zunaj/znotraj nameščene naprave za prenos zraka), se domneva, da je bila preskušena v skladu s preskusno metodo, ki velja za to komponento. Primer običajnega odvodnega sistema je prikazan na sliki 2.
Cilj tega standarda je zagotoviti preskušene lastnosti za sistemski paket v najslabših možnih pogojih. Predpostavlja se, da se na mestu uporabe dosežejo boljše vrednosti, ko je sistem nameščen v skladu z navodili proizvajalca in v mejah preskusnih pogojev, navedenih v tem standardu. Varnostne zahteve so navedene v standardu EN 60335-2-80.

When a range hood is incorporated into the system, the total air volume flow rate is the sum of the exhaust air terminal devices and range hood air flow rates. When the ventilation system package allows a range of air volume flow rates, the rate being varied by means of any control device, the aerodynamic characteristics shall be determined for both minimum and maximum levels and any other intermediate levels that may be requested by the manufacturer. The air volume flow rates shall be determined for the conventional configurations specified in 5.2, giving the least favourable extract conditions for aerodynamics. SIST EN 13141-6:2015

Figure 3 — Example of test installation 5.2.1.2 Maximum airflow test configuration A package is evaluated in the worst case conditions for the maximum setting of the intended use if: — the maximum number of spigots and the maximum number of exhaust air terminal devices are used; and — only long ducts and long branched ducts are connected to the fan unit. The air terminal devices shall be set to their maximum opening. In the case, there is more than one air terminal device connected to one spigot, the air terminal device allowing the highest air volume flow rate shall be connected to the longest duct.
SIST EN 13141-6:2015



EN 13141-6:2014 (E) 14 When automatic control devices are supplied as part of the system, the test shall be carried out with the air terminal devices manually adjusted to the maximum required position. In case there is a boost function, qvmax doesn’t take into account the boosted air volume flow rate. 5.2.1.3 Minimum airflow test configuration A package is evaluated in the worst case conditions for the minimum setting of the intended use if: — the minimum number of air terminal devices is used; and — if only long ducts and long branched ducts are connected to the fan unit. At least, the following air terminal devices shall be connected to the fan unit: one for the kitchen and one for the bathroom. The air terminal devices shall be set, according to the manufacturer instructions, to obtain the minimum air volume flow rate. When automatic control devices are supplied as part of the system, the test shall be carried out with the air terminal devices manually adjusted to the minimum required position. 5.2.1.4 Boosted airflow test configuration The boosted air volume flow rate shall be measured in the worst case conditions if only long ducts and long branched ducts are connected to the fan unit. The air terminal devices contributing to the boost function shall be set at their boosted setting and the air terminal devices not contributing to the boosted airflow shall be set, according to the manufacturer instructions, to obtain the minimum airflow. When automatic control devices are supplied as part of the system, the test shall be carried out with the air terminal devices that don’t contribute to the boosted airflow manually adjusted to the minimum required position. 5.2.1.5 Energy efficiency test — reference configuration The configuration for this test is intended to represent the setting of the fan unit and the configuration of spigots and air terminal devices typical of an average dwelling. Only long ducts or long branched ducts are connected to the fan unit. When automatic control devices are supplied as part of the system, the air volume flow rate extracted from the dwelling for reference configuration can vary from a minimum (qvminref) to a maximum (qvmaxref) value with the possibility of a boosted value (qvboostref) as shown in Figure 4. When the system does not include automatic control devices, there is only one reference air volume flow rate with the possibility of a boosted value (qvboostref) as shown in Figure 5. In this case qvminref equals to a qvmaxref. qvmaxref is defined as follows: air volume flow rate measured with a number of spigots and air terminal devices adjusted to achieve 70 % of qvmax or a value of air volume flow rate immediately superior to 70 % of qvmax. When automatic control devices are supplied as part of the system, the test shall be carried out with the air terminal devices manually adjusted to the maximum required position. qvminref is measured in the reference configuration with the air terminal devices at their minimum setting. When automatic control devices are supplied as part of the system, the test shall be carried out with the air terminal devices manually adjusted to the minimum required position. The same number of spigots and air terminal devices than by qvmaxref shall be used. qvboostref is measured in the reference configuration with the air terminal devices that don’t contribute to the boost function set, according to the manufacturer instructions, to obtain the minimum air volume flow rate. When automatic control devices are supplied as part of the system, the air terminal devices not contributing to the boost function shall be manually adjusted to the minimum required position.
