(Main)District heating pipes - Design and installation of thermal insulated bonded single and twin pipe systems for directly buried hot water networks - Part 1: Design
District heating pipes - Design and installation of thermal insulated bonded single and twin pipe systems for directly buried hot water networks - Part 1: Design
This European Standard specifies requirements for design, calculation and installation of factory made thermal insulated bonded single and twin pipe systems for directly buried hot water networks for continuous operation with treated hot water at various temperatures up to 120 ºC and occasionally with peak temperatures up to 140 ºC and maximum internal pressure 2,5 MPa. Flexible pipe systems according to EN 15632 are not under the scope of this standard.
The standard EN 13941, Design and installation of thermal insulated bonded single and twin pipe systems for directly buried hot water networks consists of two parts:
a) prEN 13941-1: Design;
b) prEN 13941-2: Installation.
The requirements and stipulations in this part: EN 13941-1, form an unbreakable unity with those of prEN 13941-2. This part shall therefore exclusively be used in combination with prEN 13941-2.
The principles of the standard may be applied to thermal insulated pipe systems with pressures higher than 2,5 MPa, provided that special attention is paid to the effects of pressure.
Adjacent pipes, not buried, but belonging to the network (e. g. pipes in ducts, valve chambers, road crossings above ground etc.) may be designed and installed according to this standard.
This standard presupposes the use of treated water, which by softening, demineralisation, de-aeration, adding of chemicals, or otherwise has been treated to effectively prevent internal corrosion and deposits in the pipes.
NOTE For further information on water qualities to be used in district heating pipe systems see also [1].
This standard is not applicable for such units as:
a) pumps;
b) heat exchangers;
c) boilers, tanks;
d) systems behind domestic substations.
Auslegung und Installation von werkmäßig gedämmten Verbundmantelrohren für die Fernwärme
Dieses Dokument legt Auslegungs-, Berechnungs- und Verlegungsanforderungen für werkmäßig hergestellte wärmegedämmte Einzel- und Doppelrohrverbundsysteme für erdverlegte Warmwassernetzwerke fest, die für den Dauerbetrieb mit Wasser bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen bis 120 °C und gelegentlichen Spitzentemperaturen bis 140 °C für höchstens 300 h/a sowie bei maximalem Innendruck von 2,5 MPa vorgesehen sind.
Flexible Rohrsysteme nach der Normenreihe EN 15632 liegen nicht im Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm.
Die Norm EN 13941, Fernwärmerohre — Auslegung und Installation von gedämmten Einzel- und Doppelrohr-Verbundsystemen für direkt erdverlegte Heißwasser-Fernwärmenetze besteht aus zwei Teilen:
a) EN 13941 1: Auslegung
b) EN 13941 2: Installation
Die Anforderungen in diesem Teil, EN 13941 1, bilden eine Einheit mit jenen aus EN 13941 2.
Die Grundsätze der Norm können auf wärmegedämmte Rohrleitungssysteme mit Drücken über 2,5 MPa angewendet werden, vorausgesetzt, die Auswirkungen der Drücke werden besonders beachtet.
Angrenzende Rohre, die zum Netz gehören, aber nicht erdverlegt sind (z. B. Rohre in Kanälen, Armaturenschächten, oberirdische Straßenüberquerungen usw.), können entsprechend dieser Norm ausgelegt und verlegt werden.
Dieses Dokument setzt die Verwendung von aufbereitetem Wasser voraus, das durch Enthärtung, Entsalzung, Entlüftung, Zusatz von Chemikalien oder auf andere Art und Weise so behandelt worden ist, dass innere Korrosion und Ablagerungen in den Leitungen effektiv vermieden werden.
ANMERKUNG Für weitere Informationen zur Qualität des Wassers, welches bei Fernwärmesystemen eingesetzt wird, siehe auch Literaturhinweis [2].
Diese Norm gilt nicht für Geräte bzw. Anlagen, wie z. B.:
a) Pumpen;
b) Wärmetauscher;
c) Kessel, Speicher;
d) Systeme hinter Hausregelstationen.
Tuyaux de chauffage urbain - Conception et installation des systèmes bloqués de monotubes ou bitubes isolés thermiquement pour les réseaux d'eau chaude enterrés directement - Partie 1 : Conception
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives à la conception, au calcul et à l'installation de systèmes manufacturés bloqués de monotubes ou bitubes isolés thermiquement pour les réseaux d'eau chaude enterrés directement, pour un service continu avec de l'eau chaude traitée à différentes températures jusqu’à 120 °C, et occasionnellement avec des pics de température jusqu’à 140 °C et une pression interne maximale de 2,5 MPa. Les systèmes de tuyaux flexibles conformes à la série de normes EN 15632 ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application de la présente norme.
La norme EN 13941, Conception et installation des systèmes bloqués de monotubes et bitubes isolés thermiquement pour les réseaux d'eau chaude enterrés directement comprend deux parties :
a) prEN 13941 1 : Conception ;
b) prEN 13941 2 : Installation.
Les exigences et stipulations de la présente partie : prEN 13941 1, sont indissociables de celles du prEN 13941 2. Il convient donc d'utiliser exclusivement la présente partie en combinaison avec le prEN 13941 2.
Les principes de la présente norme peuvent être appliqués à des systèmes de tuyaux isolés thermiquement avec des pressions supérieures à 2,5 MPa, pourvu qu’il soit porté une attention spéciale aux effets de la pression.
Les tuyaux adjacents non enterrés, mais appartenant au réseau (par exemple tubes en caniveaux, chambres de vanne, traversée de route en aérien, etc.) peuvent être conçus et installés conformément à la présente norme.
La présente norme présuppose l'utilisation d'eau traitée, par adoucissement, déminéralisation, désaération, ajout de substances chimiques, ou par tout autre moyen permettant d'éviter efficacement la corrosion interne et les dépôts dans les tuyaux.
NOTE Pour de plus amples informations sur les qualités d'eau à utiliser dans les systèmes de tuyaux pour le chauffage urbain, voir également la référence [1].
La présente Norme n'est pas applicable aux éléments tels que :
a) pompes ;
b) échangeurs de chaleur ;
c) chaudières, réservoirs ;
d) systèmes en aval des postes de raccordement.
Cevi za daljinsko ogrevanje - Projektiranje in vgradnja toplotno izoliranih spojenih eno- in dvocevnih sistemov za neposredno zakopana vročevodna omrežja - 1. del: Projektiranje
Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za projektiranje, izračun in vgradnjo tovarniško izdelanih toplotno izoliranih spojenih eno- in dvocevnih sistemov za neposredno zakopana vročevodna omrežja za neprekinjeno delovanje z obdelano vročo vodo pri različnih temperaturah do 120 °C in občasnih najvišjih temperaturah do 140 °C ter najvišjemu notranjemu tlaku 2,5 MPa. Ta standard ne zajema gibkih cevnih sistemov v skladu s standardom EN 15632.
Standard EN 13941 – Projektiranje in vgradnja toplotno izoliranih spojenih eno- in dvocevnih sistemov za neposredno zakopana vročevodna je sestavljen iz dveh delov:
a) Standard prEN 13941-1: Zasnova
b) Standard prEN 13941-2: Vgradnja
Zahteve in določbe iz tega dela standarda: EN 13941-1 tvori neločljivo enotnost z zahtevami in določbami standarda prEN 13941-2. Ta del se zato uporablja izključno skupaj s standardom prEN 13941-2.
Načela standarda se lahko uporabljajo za toplotno izolirane cevne sisteme s tlaki, višjimi od 2,5 MPa, če je posebna pozornost namenjena učinkom tlaka.
Sosednje cevi, ki niso zakopane, vendar pripadajo omrežju (npr. cevi v jaških, ventilskih komorah, cestnih prehodih nad tlemi itd.), je mogoče projektirati in vgraditi na podlagi tega standarda.
Ta standard predpostavlja uporabo obdelane vode, ki z mehčanjem, demineralizacijo, razzračevanjem, dodajanjem kemikalij ali z drugo obdelavo učinkovito preprečuje notranjo korozijo in nastajanje oblog na ceveh.
OPOMBA: Za dodatne informacije o kakovosti vode za uporabo v cevnih sistemih za daljinsko ogrevanje glej tudi [1].
Ta standard se ne uporablja za enote, kot so:
a) črpalke,
b) izmenjevalniki toplote,
c) kotli, rezervoarji,
d) sistemi za domačimi razdelilnimi postajami.

Introduction
This document has been prepared by CEN/TC 107/WG 13 “Prefabricated district heating and district
cooling pipe system”.
According to the scope of CEN/TC 107:
— the task of CEN/TC 107/WG 13 is to specify rules for design, calculation and installation for factory
made thermal insulated bonded single and twin pipe systems for directly buried hot water networks;
— CEN/TC 107/WG 13 also contributes to rules for functional tests for thermal-insulated bonded pipe
systems for underground hot water networks;
When use is made of the standard, the different sections of which it is made up is to be interpreted as
being interdependent and, because of this, cannot be dissociated.
The revision of EN 13941:2009+A1:2010 involves the subdivision of the document in two separate
documents:
— EN 13941-1, District heating pipes — Design and installation of thermal insulated bonded single and
twin pipe systems for directly buried hot water networks — Part 1: Design;
— EN 13941-2, District heating pipes — Design and installation of thermal insulated bonded single and
twin pipe systems for directly buried hot water networks — Part 2: Installation.
This volume (Part 1) consists of a main part and eight annexes.
Annexes A, and F are normative. Annexes B, C, D, E, G, H, I, J and K are informative.
This document contains a number of requirements aimed at ensuring the sound execution of distribution
networks and transportation pipelines for district heating.
The requirements and regulations contained in this document should be assessed and applied in
compliance with the intentions of the standard and in due consideration of the development taking place
in the field it concerns. It is therefore assumed that the user of the standard has the requisite technical
insight and that the user of the standard has adequate knowledge of legal and other external regulations
that are of consequence to the practical application of the standard.
Some paragraphs of this standard are possibly covered by national regulations in some countries which
NOTE
naturally apply instead of this standard.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for design, calculation and installation of factory made thermal
insulated bonded single and twin pipe systems for buried hot water networks for continuous operation
with treated water at various temperatures up to 120 °C and occasionally peak temperatures up to 140 °C
for maximum 300 h/a, and maximum internal pressure 2,5 MPa.
Flexible pipe systems according to the EN 15632 series are not under the scope of this standard.
The standard EN 13941, Design and installation of thermal insulated bonded single and twin pipe systems
