EN 12977-4:2012 (E) 4 Introduction The test methods for stores of solar heating systems as described in this document are required for the determination of the thermal performance of small custom built systems for combined domestic hot water preparation and space heating, so-called solar combisystems, as specified in EN 12977-1. These test methods deliver parameters, which are needed for the simulation of the thermal behaviour of a store being part of a small custom built system. NOTE 1 With the test methods for stores given in EN 12897 only a few parameters are determined in order to characterise the thermal behaviour of a store. These few parameters are not sufficient for the determination of the thermal performance of small custom built systems as described in EN 12977-2. NOTE 2 The already existing test methods for stores of conventional heating systems are not sufficient with regard to thermal solar systems. This is due to the fact that the performance of thermal solar systems depends much more on the thermal behaviour of the store (e.g. stratification, heat losses), as conventional systems do. Hence, this separate document for the performance characterisation of stores for solar heating systems is needed.
NOTE 3 For additional information about the test methods for the performance characterisation of stores see EN 12977-3 and [1] in Bibliography.

EN 12977-4:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies test methods for the performance characterization of stores which are intended for use in small custom built systems as specified in EN 12977-1. Stores tested according to this document are commonly used in solar combisystems. However, the thermal performance of all other thermal stores with water as a storage medium (e.g. for heat pump systems) can be also assessed according to the test methods specified in this document. This document applies to combistores with a nominal volume up to 3 000 l and without integrated burner.

For symbols and abbreviations, refer to EN 12977-3:2012. 5 Store classification Solar combistores are classified by distinction between different charge and discharge modes. Five groups are defined as shown in Table 1. SIST EN 12977-4:2012
EN 12977-4:2012 (E) 6 Table 1 — Classification of combistores Group Charge mode Discharge mode 1 direct direct 2 indirect direct 3 direct indirect 4 indirect indirect 5 stores that cannot be assigned to groups 1 to 4
NOTE 1 All stores may have one or more additional electrical heating elements. NOTE 2 Stores that can be charged or discharged directly and indirectly (e.g. a store of a space heating system with an internal heat exchanger for the preparation of domestic hot water) can belong to more than one group. In this case, the appropriate test procedures or the assignment to one of the groups respectively, should be chosen depending on its mode of operation. 6 Laboratory store testing 6.1 Requirements on the testing stand 6.1.1 General The hot water store shall be tested separately from the whole solar system on a store-testing stand. The testing stand configuration shall be determined by the classification of the combistores as described in Clause 5. An example of a representative hydraulic testing stand configuration is shown in EN 12977-3:2012, Figure 1 and Figure 2. An appropriate test facility consists of two charge loops as shown in EN 12977-3:2012, Figure 1 and two discharge loops as shown in EN 12977-3:2012, Figure 2. 6.1.2 Measuring data and measuring procedure The requirements specified in EN 12977-3:2012, 6.1.2 shall be fulfilled. 6.2 Installation of the store 6.2.1 Mounting The store shall be mounted on the testing stand according to the manufacturer's instructions. The temperature sensors used for measuring the inlet and outlet temperatures of the fluid used for charging and discharging the storage device, shall be placed as near as possible at least 200 mm to the inlet and outlet connections of the storage device. The installation of the temperature sensors inside the pipes shall be done according to approved methods of measuring temperatures. If there is/are more than one pair of charging and/or discharging inlet or outlet connections, then only one may be connected to the testing stand (at the same time) while the other(s) shall be closed. The pipes between the store and the temperature sensors shall be insulated according to EN 12828. SIST EN 12977-4:2012
EN 12977-4:2012 (E) 7 6.2.2 Connection The way of connecting the storage device to the testing stand depends on the purpose of the thermal tests which shall be performed. Detailed instructions are given in the clauses where the thermal tests are described.
Connections of the store which do not lead to the charge or discharge circuit of the testing stand shall be closed, and not connected heat exchangers shall be filled up with water. All closed connections shall be insulated in the same way as the store. Since fluid in closed heat exchangers expands with increasing temperature, a pressure relief valve shall be mounted.
NOTE The performance of a solar heating system depends on the individual installation and actual boundary conditions. With regard to the heat losses of the store besides deficits in the thermal insulation, badly designed connections can increase the heat loss capacity rate of the store due to natural convection that occurs internally in the pipe. In order to avoid this effect, the connections of the pipes should be designed in such a way that no natural convection inside the pipe occurs. This can be achieved if the pipe is directly going downwards after leaving the store or by using a heat trap siphon.
6.3 Test and evaluation procedures 6.3.1 General The aim of store testing as specified in this document is to determine parameters required for the detailed description of the thermal behaviour of a hot water combistore. Therefore, a mathematical computer model for the store is necessary. The basic requirements on suitable models are specified in Annex A and Annex B. The following parameters shall be known for the simulation of a store being part of a solar system. a) Stored water: 1) height; 2) effective volume respectively effective thermal capacity; 3) heights of the inlet and outlet connections; 4) heat loss capacity rate of the entire store; 5) if the insulation varies for different heights of the store, the distribution of the heat loss capacity rate should be determined for the different parts of the store; 6) a parameter describing the degradation of thermal stratification during stand-by; NOTE 1 One possible way to describe this effect in a store model is the use of a vertical thermal conduction. In this case, the corresponding parameter is an effective vertical thermal conductivity.
7) a parameter describing the characteristic of thermal stratification during direct discharge; NOTE 2 An additional parameter may be used to describe the influence of different draw-off flow rates on the thermal stratification inside the store, if this effect is relevant. 8) positions of the temperature sensors (e.g. the sensors of the collector loop and auxiliary heater control). SIST EN 12977-4:2012
EN 12977-4:2012 (E) 8 b) Heat exchangers: 1) heights of the inlet and outlet connections; 2) volume; 3) heat transfer capacity rate as a function of temperature; 4) information on the capacity in respect of stratified charging; NOTE 3 The capacity in respect of stratified charging can be determined from the design of the heat exchanger as well as from the course in time of the heat exchanger inlet and outlet temperatures. 5) heat loss rate from the heat exchanger to the ambient (necessary only for mantled heat exchangers and external heat exchangers). c) Electrical auxiliary heat source: 1) position in the store; 2) axis direction of heating element (horizontal or vertical). If the auxiliary heater is installed in a vertical way, also its length is required; 3) effectivity that characterises the fraction of the thermal converted electric power which is actually transferred inside the store. NOTE 4 Badly designed electrical auxiliary heaters may cause significant heat losses during operation. In t
