Building valves - Expansion groups - Tests and requirements
This document specifies, dimensions, materials and performance requirements (including methods of test) for expansion groups, of nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 25, having working pressures from 0,1 MPa (1 bar) to 1,0 MPa (10 bar).
Expansion groups are fitted to the cold potable water supply only for expansion purposes, e.g. of storage water heaters, having a maximum distribution temperature of 95 °C.
Expansion groups limit pressure in the water heater to which they are fitted, that is produced by thermal expansion of the water, prevent the backflow of water into the supply pipe and prevent the discharged water to get into contact with the water in the water heater.
Expansion groups do not control temperature and alone do not constitute the protection required for storage water heaters.
NOTE The use of the device specified in this document does not override the need to use controls (e.g. thermostats and thermal cut-outs) which act directly on the power sources of water heaters (for more information see Annex A).
Gebäudearmaturen - Sicherheitsgruppen für Expansionswasser - Prüfungen und Anforderungen
Dieses Dokument legt Maße, Werkstoffe und Leistungsanforderungen (einschließlich Prüfverfahren) für Sicherheitsgruppen für Expansionswasser mit Nennweiten DN 15 bis DN 25 und Betriebsdrücken von 0,1 MPa (1 bar) bis 1,0 MPa (10 bar) fest.
Sicherheitsgruppen für Expansionswasser werden ausschließlich zu Expansionszwecken an die Kaltwasser¬versorgung angeschlossen, z. B. an Speicher-Warmwasserbereiter mit einer höchsten Verteilungstemperatur von 95 °C.
Sicherheitsgruppen für Expansionswasser begrenzen den durch die thermische Ausdehnung des Wassers entstehenden Druck im Warmwasserbereiter, an den sie angeschlossen sind, verhindern den Rückfluss von Wasser in die Versorgungsleitung und verhindern, dass abgeleitetes Wasser in Kontakt mit dem Wasser im Warmwasserbereiter kommt.
Sicherheitsgruppen für Expansionswasser steuern weder die Temperatur noch stellen Sie allein den für Speicher-Warmwasserbereiter erforderlichen Schutz bereit.
ANMERKUNG Durch die Verwendung des in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Gerätes wird die Notwendigkeit der Verwendung von Steuereinrichtungen (z. B. Thermostate und Thermoauslöser), die direkt an den Leistungsquellen von Warmwasserbereitern zum Einsatz kommen, nicht aufgehoben (weitere Informationen siehe Anhang A).
Robinetterie de bâtiment - Groupes d'expansion - Essais et exigences
Le présent document spécifie les dimensions, les matériaux et les exigences de performance (y compris les méthodes d’essai) pour les groupes d’expansion de dimensions nominales allant de DN 15 à DN 25 et dont la pression de service 1 va de 0,1 MPa (1 bar) à 1,0 MPa (10 bar).
Les groupes d’expansion sont raccordés à l’alimentation en eau potable froide uniquement pour des besoins d’expansion, par exemple de chauffe-eau à accumulation ayant une température maximale de distribution de 95 °C.
Les groupes d’expansion permettent de limiter l’augmentation de la pression du fluide contenu dans le chauffe-eau, qui est générée par la dilatation de l’eau, ils empêchent le retour de l’eau dans la canalisation d’alimentation et tout contact entre l’eau du réseau d’évacuation et l’eau du chauffe-eau.
Les groupes d’expansion ne contrôlent pas la température et n’assurent pas à eux seuls la protection nécessaire des chauffe-eau à accumulation.
NOTE L’usage du dispositif spécifié dans le présent document ne dispense pas de la nécessité d’utiliser des commandes (par exemple, thermostats et dispositifs de coupure) qui agissent directement sur les sources d’énergie des chauffe-eau (pour plus d’informations, voir l’Annexe A).
