Automatische Umschaltventile mit einem höchsten Ausgangsdruck bis einschließlich 4 bar und einem Durchfluss bis einschließlich 100kg/h für Butan, Propan oder deren Gemische, sowie die dazugehörigen Sicherheitseinrichtungen
Diese Europäische Norm definiert die Bau- und Betriebseigenschaften, die Sicherheitsanforderungen und die Testverfahren und die Kennzeichnung von automatischen Umschaltventilen mit einem höchsten Ausgangsdruck bis einschließlich 4 bar und einem Durchfluss bis einschließlich 100 kg/h für Butan, Propan oder deren Gemische, sowie die dazugehörigen Sicherheitseinrichtungen in der Dampfphase.
ANMERKUNG 1 bar = 106 Pa
Flüssiggase die Methylazethylen und Propadien enthalten sind nicht von dieser Norm enthalten.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält auch Sicherheitseinrichtungen, die an automatischen Umschaltventilen montiert werden können. Die Eigenschaften dieser Einrichtungen sind in Anhang A beschrieben.
Die Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm beinhalten generell Konstruktionen, bei denen die Regelung in einer Stufe mit einer Membran erfolgt. Diese Anforderungen schließen Konstruktionen nicht aus, die mehr als eine Membran verwenden, vorausgesetzt, dass diese Membranen in einem einzigen Umschaltventil eingebaut sind und den Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm entsprechen.
Für die spezielle Anwendung in Caravans und Freizeitfahrzeugen kann die Umschaltfunktion der automatischen Umschaltventile auch durch eine Kombination von Reglern erfolgen, die ein System von automatischen Umschaltventilen bilden, das in 3.1.3 definiert ist. Diese Norm beinhaltet solche Systeme wie folgt:
- Spezielle Anforderungen für die Herstellung, die Justierung und den Betrieb von Reglern, die ein System von automatischen Umschaltventilen bilden, sowie die dazugehörigen Prüfmethoden sind in Anhang B enthalten;
- abgesehen von diesen speziellen Anforderungen und sofern nichts anderes vorgeschrieben ist, sind die Bau- und Funktionseigenschaften die im Text dieser Norm enthalten sind auch für die Einrichtungen von Anhang B anzuwenden.
Die Anforderungen gelten generell für automatischen Umschaltventile die in Gegenden benutzt werden, in denen die Temperatur bei der Benutzung zwischen -20 °C
Inverseurs automatiques de débit inférieur ou égal à 100 kg/h, à pression de détente nominale maximale inférieure ou égale à 4 bar, et leurs dispositifs de sécurité associés, pour butane, propane ou leurs mélanges
La présente Norme européenne définit les caractéristiques de construction et de fonctionnement, les spécifications et les techniques d'essai de sécurité, ainsi que le marquage des inverseurs automatiques d'un débit inférieur ou égal à 100 kg/h, à pression de détente inférieure ou égale à 4 bar, utilisés pour le butane, le propane ou leurs mélanges considérés uniquement à l'état gazeux.
NOTE 1 bar = 105 Pa.
Les gaz liquéfiés contenant du méthylacétylène et du propadiène ne sont pas couverts par cette norme.
La présente Norme européenne est également applicable aux dispositifs de sécurité qui sont susceptibles d'équiper les inverseurs visés par la présente norme. Les caractéristiques de ces dispositifs sont données dans l'Annexe A.
Les exigences de cette Norme européenne couvrent en général les conceptions dont la détente est à un étage, utilisant une seule membrane. Ces exigences n'excluent pas les conceptions utilisant plus d'une membrane, pourvu que ces membranes soient intégrées dans un seul inverseur automatique conforme aux exigences de cette Norme européenne.
Pour des utilisations spécifiques dans des caravanes et véhicules de loisirs, la fonction d'inversion automatique peut aussi être réalisée par un assemblage de plusieurs détendeurs, formant un "système d'inversion automatique" tel que défini en 3.1.2. La présente norme s'applique à un tel ensemble de la façon suivante :
- les exigences spécifiques pour la réalisation, le réglage et le fonctionnement des détendeurs constitués en système d'inversion automatique, de même que les méthodes d'essai correspondantes sont données en Annexe B ;
- hormis ces exigences spécifiques, et sauf indications contraires, les caractéristiques de construction et de fonctionnement listées dans le corps de la norme sont également applicables aux dispositifs de l'Annexe B.
Les exigences s'appliquent en général aux inverseurs automatiques utilisés dans les régions où la température susceptible d'être atteinte en service var
Samodejni preklopni ventili z največjim izhodnim tlakom do vključno 4 bar, s pretokom do vključno 100 kg/h in pripadajočimi varnostnimi napravami za butan, propan ali njuni zmesi
