Building valves - Expansion groups - Tests and requirements
This European Standard specifies, dimensions, materials and performance requirements (including methods of test) for expansion groups, of nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 40, having working pressures from 0,1 MPa (1 bar) to 1,0 MPa (10 bar). Expansion groups are intended for fitting to the cold water supply of storage water heaters, having a maximum distribution temperature of 95°C, for all energy sources. Expansion groups limit pressure, in the water heater to which they are fitted, that is produced by thermal expansion of the water.
Gebäudearmaturen - Sicherheitsgruppen für Expansionswasser - Prüfungen und Anforderungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt Maße, Werkstoffe und Leistungsanforderungen (einschließlich der Prüfverfahren) für Sicherheitsgruppen für Expansionswasser in den Nennweiten DN 15 bis DN 40 mit Arbeitsdrücken) von 0,1 MPa (1 bar) bis 1 Mpa (10 bar) fest. Sicherheitsgruppen für Expansionswasser sind für die Ausrüstung der Kaltwasserversorgung von Speicherwassererwärmern mit einer maximalen Gebrauchstemperatur von 95° C, unabhängig von den verwendeten Energiequellen bestimmt.
Robinetterie de bâtiment - Groupes d'expansion - Essais et prescriptions
La présente norme européenne spécifie les dimensions, la nature des matériaux et les exigences de performance (y compris les méthodes d'essai) auxquelles doivent satisfaire les groupes d'expansion pour des dimensions nominales de DN 15 à DN 40 et avec des pressions de service de 0,1 MPa (1 bar) à 1,0 MPa (10 bar). Les groupes d'expansion sont destinés à être installés sur le circuit d'eau froide des chauffe-eau à accumulation, dont la température ne dépasse pas 95°C, quelque soit le mode d'énergie utilisé.
