EN 12977-3:2018 (E) 5 Introduction The test methods for stores of solar heating systems as described in this European Standard are required for the determination of the thermal performance of small custom built systems as specified in EN 12977-1:2018. The test method described in this European Standard delivers a complete set of parameters, which are needed for the simulation of the thermal behaviour of a store being part of a small custom built solar heating system. For the determination of store parameters such as the thermal capacity and the heat loss rate, the method standardized in EN 12897 can be used as an alternative. NOTE 1 The already existing test methods for stores of conventional heating systems are not sufficient with regard to solar heating systems. This is due to the fact that the performance of solar heating systems depends much more on the thermal behaviour of the store (e.g. stratification, heat losses), than conventional systems do. Hence, this separate document for the performance characterization of stores for solar heating systems is needed. NOTE 2 For additional information about the test methods for the performance characterization of stores, see [1] in Bibliography. SIST EN 12977-3:2018

Stores tested according to this document are commonly used in solar heating systems. However, the thermal performance of all other thermal stores with water as a storage medium can also be assessed according to the test methods specified in this document. The document applies to stores with a nominal volume between 50 l and 3 000 l. This document does not apply to combistores. Performance test methods for solar combistores are specified in EN 12977-4:2018. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
