Ventilation for buildings - Performance testing of components/products for residential ventilation - Part 8: Performance testing of un-ducted mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation units (including heat recovery) for mechanical ventilation systems intended for a single room

EN 13141-8 specifies the laboratory test methods and test requirements for the testing of aerodynamic, thermal and acoustic performance, and the electrical power of an un-ducted mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation unit used in a single room. The purpose of this European Standard is not to consider the quality of ventilation but to test the performance of the equipment. In general, a ventilation unit contains: - supply and exhaust air fans; - air filters; - air to air heat exchanger or air storage mass for exhaust air heat and humidity recovery; - control system; - inlet and outlet grilles. Such equipment can be provided in more than one assembly, the separate assemblies of which are designed to be used together. Such equipment can contain alternating heat exchangers which provide separate supply and exhaust air flows. In certain cases, i.e. alternating ventilation unit, the manufacturer may recommend that the equipment can be installed in such a way that it serves more than one room. For the purpose of this European Standard, these products are assessed in a single room. This European Standard does not deal with ducted units or units with heat pumps. Safety requirements are given in EN 60335-2-80:2003

Prezračevanje stavb - Preskušanje lastnosti stanovanjskih prezračevalnih komponent/izdelkov - 8. del: Preskušanje lastnosti mehanskih brezkanalnih dovodnih in odvodnih prezračevalnih enot (vključno z rekuperacijo toplote) za mehanske prezračevalne sisteme za mehansko prezračevanje posameznih prostorov

Standard EN 13141-8 določa laboratorijske preskusne metode ter preskusne zahteve za preskušanje aerodinamičnih, toplotnih in akustičnih lastnosti ter električno napajanje brezkanalne dovodne in odvodne prezračevalne enote za posamezne prostore. Ta evropski standard ni namenjen obravnavanju kakovosti prezračevanja, ampak preskušanju lastnosti opreme. Prezračevalna enota na splošno zajema: – dovodne in odvodne zračne ventilatorje; – zračne filtre; – zračni toplotni prenosnik ali maso za skladiščenje zraka za rekuperacijo toplote in vlage iz odvodnega zraka; – nadzorni sistem; – dovodne in odvodne rešetke. Taka oprema se lahko zagotovi v več sestavih, pri čemer so ločeni sestavi oblikovani tako, da se uporabljajo skupaj. Taka oprema lahko zajema izmenične toplotne izmenjevalnike, ki zagotavljajo ločena pretoka dovodnega in odvodnega zraka. V nekaterih primerih, tj. pri izmenični prezračevalni enoti, lahko proizvajalec priporoča, da se oprema namesti tako, da prezračuje več prostorov. Za namen tega evropskega standarda se ti izdelki ocenijo v enem samem prostoru. Ta evropski standard ne obravnava kanalnih enot ali enot s toplotnimi črpalkami. Varnostne zahteve so navedene v standardu EN 60335-2-80:2003

EN 13141-8:2014 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard specifies methods for the performance testing of components used in residential ventilation systems to establish the performance characteristics as identified in EN 13142 [1]. This European Standard incorporates many references to other European and International Standards, especially on characteristics other than the aerodynamic characteristics, for instance on acoustic characteristics. In most cases some additional tests or some additional conditions are given for the specific use in residential ventilation systems. This European Standard can be used for the following applications: — laboratory testing; — attestation purposes. The position of this European Standard in the field of standards for the mechanical building services is shown in Figure 1. SIST EN 13141-8:2014

EN 13141-8:2014 (E) 10 3.1.15 test voltage voltage used for supplying the components during the testing 3.2 Classification The classification of heat exchangers is the following: — Category I: Recuperative heat exchangers (e.g. air-to-air plate or tube heat exchanger) Recuperative heat exchangers are designed to transfer thermal energy (sensible or total) from one air stream to another without moving parts. Heat transfer surfaces are in form of plates or tubes. This heat exchanger may have parallel flow, cross flow or counter flow construction or a combination of these. Plate and tube heat exchangers with vapour diffusion (for instance cellulose) are also in this category. — Category II: Regenerative heat exchangers (e.g. rotary or alternating heat exchanger) A rotary heat exchanger is a device incorporating a rotating “thermal wheel” for the purpose of transferring energy (sensible or total) from one air stream to the other. It incorporates material allowing latent heat transfer, a drive mechanism, a casing or frame, and includes any seals which are provided to retard bypassing and leakage or air from one air stream to the other. Regenerative heat exchangers have varying degrees of moisture recovery, depending on the material used (e.g. “condensation rotor/non hygroscopic rotor”, “hygroscopic rotor” and “sorption rotor” heat exchangers). 4 Symbols and abbreviations For the purpose of this document, the symbols and abbreviations given in EN 12792:2003 and the following apply.
