Controls for heating systems - Part 1: Control equipment for hot water heating systems
This European Standard applies to electronic control equipment for heating systems with water as the heating medium and a flow water temperature up to 120 °C.
This control equipment controls and regulates the distribution and/or the generation of heat in relation to the outside temperature and time and other reference variables.
This standard covers also controllers which contain an integrated optimum start or an optimum start-stop control function.
Safety requirements on heating systems remain unaffected by this standard. The dynamic behaviour of the valves and actuators are not covered in this standard.
A multi-distribution and/or multi-generation system needs a coordinated solution to prevent undesired interaction and is not part of this standard.

Diese Norm gilt für elektronische Mess-, Regel- und Steuereinrichtungen für Heizungsanlagen mit Wasser als Wärmeträger und einer Vorlauftemperatur bis 120 °C.
Diese Mess-, Regel- und Steuereinrichtungen dienen zur Steuerung und Regelung der Wärmeverteilung und/oder -erzeugung in Abhängigkeit von der Außentemperatur, der Zeit und anderen Führungsgrößen.
Diese Norm behandelt ebenfalls Regler mit integrierter Einschalt-Optimier Funktion oder Ein-/Ausschalt-Optimier Funktion.
Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an Heizungsanlagen bleiben von dieser Norm unberührt. Das dyna-mische Verhalten von Ventilen und Stellgliedern wird in dieser Norm nicht behandelt.
Systeme mit mehreren Verteilsystemen oder Erzeugungsanlagen erfordern eine koordinierte Lösung zur Ver-hinderung unerwünschter Wechselwirkungen und sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm.
Régulation pour les systèmes de chauffage - Partie 1: Equipement de régulation pour les systèmes de chauffage à eau chaude
La présente norme Européenne s'applique aux équipements électroniques de régulation pour les systèmes de chauffage à l'eau comme fluide caloporteur, avec une température de l'eau allant jusqu'à 120 °C.
Ces équipements de régulation servent à la commande et au réglage de la distribution et/ou de la génération de chaleur, en fonction de la température extérieure et du temps ainsi que d'autres variables de référence.
La présente norme couvre également les régulateurs contenant une fonction de commande intégrée de démarrage optimisé ou de démarrage-arrêt optimisé.
Les impératifs de sécurité concernant les systèmes de chauffage ne sont pas affectés par la présente norme. Le comportement dynamique des vannes et des actionneurs n'est pas couvert par la présente Norme.
Un système multidistribution et/ou multigénération nécessite une solution coordonnée pour empêcher toute interaction indésirable. Celui-ci ne fait pas partie de la présente norme.
Regulacijske naprave za sisteme ogrevanja - 1. del: Naprave za regulacijo delovanja toplovodnih ogrevalnih sistemov
Ta evropski standard se uporablja za elektronske naprave za regulacijo delovanja grelnih sistemov, pri katerih je grelni medij voda, ki dosega temperaturo do 120 °C. Ta naprava za regulacijo delovanja nadzira in ureja razporeditev in/ali proizvodnjo toplote glede na zunanjo temperaturo in čas ter druge referenčne spremenljivke. Ta standard zajema tudi regulacijske naprave z vgrajeno nadzorno funkcijo za optimalni začetek ali optimalni začetek/konec. Ta standard ne vpliva na varnostne zahteve za grelne sisteme. Dinamično obnašanje ventilov in sprožilnikov ni zajeto v tem standardu. Večdistribucijski in/ali večproizvodni sistem potrebuje usklajeno rešitev, da se preprečijo neželeni medsebojni vplivi, in ni del tega standarda.

Heating periods are different from scheduled occupation periods. These differences, due to thermal inertia, depend mainly on heating loads (or temperatures differences). A start and/or stop optimiser controls these switching points, using outside and/or room temperatures or their differences in relation to setpoints. SIST EN 12098-1:2013
