Building valves - Hydraulic safety groups - Tests and requirements
EN 1487 specifies dimensions, materials and performance requirements (including methods of test) for hydraulic safety groups, of nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 25, having working pressures1) from 0,1 MPa (1 bar) to 0,7 MPa (7 bar). Hydraulic safety groups are intended for fitting to the potable water supply of storage water heaters, having a maximum storage temperature of 95°C. Hydraulic safety groups limit the pressure in hot water heaters, prevent the backflow of water into the main circuit and prevent the discharged water to get into contact with the water in the water heater. Hydraulic safety groups do not control the temperature. They ensure the hydraulic safety of water heaters if the mechanical resistance of the water heater remains at least equal to the rating pressure. NOTE The use of the device specified in this European Standard does not override the need to use controls (e.g. thermostats and cut-outs) which act directly on the power sources of water heaters.
Gebäudearmaturen - Hydraulische Sicherheitsgruppen - Prüfungen und Anforderungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt Maße, Werkstoffe und Leistungsanforderungen (einschließlich Prüfverfahren) für hydraulische Sicherheitsgruppen in den Nennweiten DN 15 bis DN 25 mit Arbeitsdrücken ) von 0,1 MPa (1 bar) bis 0,7 MPa (7 bar) fest. Hydraulische Sicherheitsgruppen sind für die Ausrüstung der Trinkwasser¬versorgung von Speicherwassererwärmern mit einer maximalen Speichertemperatur von 95 °C bestimmt.
Hydraulische Sicherheitsgruppen begrenzen den Druck im Wassererwärmer und verhindern sowohl, dass Wasser in das Netz zurückfließt, als auch, dass das abgelassene Wasser mit dem Wasser im Wassererwär¬mer in Kontakt kommt.
Hydraulische Sicherheitsgruppen regeln nicht die Temperatur. Sie stellen die hydraulische Sicherheit von Wassererwärmern sicher, soweit die Festigkeit des Behälters mindestens dem Druck bei Nennleistung entspricht.
ANMERKUNG Die in dieser Norm festgelegte Armatur ist nur in Verbindung mit energieseitig arbeitenden Sicherheits¬elementen (z. B. Temperaturregler und Temperaturbegrenzer) für die gesamte Sicherheit des Wassererwärmers verant¬wortlich.
Robinetterie de bâtiment - Groupes de sécurité hydraulique - Essais et exigences
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les dimensions, les matériaux et les exigences de performance (y compris les méthodes d’essai) auxquels doivent satisfaire les groupes de sécurité hydraulique de diamètre nominal allant de DN 15 à DN 25, dont les pressions de service ) sont comprises entre 0,1 MPa (1 bar) et 0,7 MPa (7 bar). Les groupes de sécurité hydraulique sont destinés à être montés au niveau de l’alimentation en eau potable des chauffe-eau à accumulation, dont la température de stockage ne dépasse pas 95 °C.
Les groupes de sécurité hydraulique limitent la pression du fluide contenu dans les chauffe-eau, empêchant le retour d’eau dans le circuit principal et tout contact entre l’eau du réseau d’évacuation et l’eau du chauffe-eau.
Les groupes de sécurité hydraulique ne contrôlent pas la température. Ils assurent la sécurité hydraulique des chauffe-eau, sous réserve que la résistance mécanique de la cuve du chauffe-eau soit au moins égale à la pression de débit nominal.
NOTE L’utilisation du dispositif spécifié dans la présente Norme européenne ne doit pas prévaloir sur la nécessité d’utiliser des commandes qui agissent directement sur les sources d’énergie des chauffe-eau (tels que les thermostats et dispositifs de coupure).
Ventili v stavbah - Varnostni bloki - Preskusi in zahteve
Standard EN 1487 določa mere, materiale in tehnične zahteve (vključno s preskusnimi metodami) za varnostne bloke nazivnih velikosti od DN 15 do DN 25 z delovnimi tlaki od 0,1 MPa (1 bar) do 0,7 MPa (7 barov). Varnostni bloki so namenjeni priključitvi na akumulacijske grelnike vode za oskrbo s pitno vodo, ki imajo najvišjo temperaturo vode 95 °C. Varnostni bloki omejijo tlak v grelnikih vode, s čimer preprečujejo povratni tok vode v glavni vodovod, obenem pa iztečeni vodi preprečujejo stik z vodo v grelniku vode. Varnostni bloki ne nadzorujejo temperature, temveč zagotavljajo hidravlično varnost grelnikov vode, če mehanska odpornost grelnika vode ostane najmanj enaka nazivnemu tlaku. OPOMBA Uporaba naprave, navedene v tem evropskem standardu, ne izključuje zahteve za uporabo krmilnikov (npr. termostatov in izklopnih stikal), ki delujejo neposredno na vire napajanja grelnikov vode.
