Building valves - Expansion valves - Tests and requirements
This document specifies dimensions, materials and performance requirements (including methods of test) for expansion valves, of nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 32, having working pressures ) from 0,1 MPa (l bar) to 1,0 MPa (10 bar).
Expansion valves are intended for fitting to the cold potable water supply of storage water heaters, having a maximum distribution temperature of 95 °C, for all energy sources.
Expansion valves do not control the temperature and alone do not constitute the protection required for storage water heaters. Expansion valves limit pressure, in the water heaters to what they are fitted, that is produced by thermal expansion of the water.
NOTE The use of the device specified in this document does not override the need to use controls (e.g. thermostats and cut-outs) which act directly on the power sources of water heaters (for more information see Annex A).
Gebäudearmaturen - Sicherheitsventile für Expansionswasser - Prüfungen und Anforderungen
Dieses Dokument legt Abmessungen, Werkstoffe und Leistungsanforderungen (einschließlich Prüfverfahren) für Sicherheitsventile für Expansionswasser mit einer Nennweite von DN 15 bis DN 32 und Betriebsdrücken von 0,1 MPa (1 bar) bis 1,0 MPa (10 bar) fest.
Sicherheitsventile für Expansionswasser sind für den Anschluss an die kalte Trinkwasserversorgung von Speicherwassererwärmern mit einer maximalen Gebrauchstemperatur von 95 °C, unabhängig von den verwendeten Energiequellen, bestimmt.
Das Expansionsventil für Expansionswasser überwacht nicht die Temperaturen und stellt auch nicht die einzige für einen Speicherwassererwärmer erforderliche Sicherheit dar. Das Sicherheitsventil für Expansionswasser begrenzt den durch die Wärmeausdehnung des Wassers verursachten Druckanstieg im Wassererwärmer, in den es eingebaut ist.
ANMERKUNG Durch die Verwendung des in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Gerätes wird die Notwendigkeit zu Verwendung von Steuereinrichtungen (z. B. Thermostate und Auslöser), die direkt an den Leistungsquellen von Warmwasserbereitern zum Einsatz kommen, nicht aufgehoben (für weitere Informationen siehe Anhang A).
Robinetterie de bâtiment - Soupapes d'expansion - Essais et exigences
Le présent document spécifie les dimensions, les matériaux et les exigences de performance (y compris les méthodes d´essai) auxquels doivent satisfaire les soupapes d’expansion de diamètre nominal allant de DN 15 à DN 32, dont les pressions de service ) sont comprises entre 0,1 MPa (1 bar) et 1,0 MPa (10 bar).
Les soupapes d’expansion sont destinées à être montées au niveau de l’alimentation en eau potable froide des chauffe-eau à accumulation, dont la température de distribution ne dépasse pas 95 °C, quelles que soient les sources d’énergie utilisées.
Les soupapes d'expansion ne contrôlent pas la température et ne constituent pas, à elles seules, la protection nécessaire aux chauffe-eau à accumulation. Les soupapes d’expansion limitent la pression dans les chauffe-eau où elles sont montées, occasionnée par la dilatation thermique de l’eau.
NOTE L'utilisation du dispositif spécifié dans le présent document ne doit pas prévaloir sur la nécessité d'utiliser des commandes (telles que les thermostats et dispositifs de coupure) qui agissent directement sur les sources d'énergie des chauffe-eau (pour plus d’informations, voir l’Annexe A).
Ventili v stavbah - Ekspanzijski ventili - Preskusi in zahteve
Ta dokument določa mere, materiale in tehnične zahteve (vključno s preskusnimi metodami) za ekspanzijske ventile nazivnih velikosti od DN 15 do DN 32 z delovnimi tlaki od 0,1 MPa (1 bar) do 1,0 MPa (10 barov).
Ekspanzijski ventili so namenjeni vgradnji na dovod hladne pitne vode akumulacijskih grelnikov vode z najvišjo distribucijsko temperaturo 95 °C za vse vire energije.
Ekspanzijski ventili ne regulirajo temperature in sami po sebi ne predstavljajo zaščite, zahtevane za akumulacijske grelnike vode. Ekspanzijski ventili omejujejo tlak, ki nastane zaradi toplotnega raztezanja vode v grelnikih vode, v katere so vgrajeni.
OPOMBA: Uporaba naprave, navedene v tem dokumentu, ne izključuje zahteve za uporabo krmilnikov (npr. termostatov in izklopnih stikal), ki delujejo neposredno na vire napajanja grelnikov vode (za več informacij glej dodatek A).
