gases and which consist of normal and limit pressures
Note 1 to entry: The gas pressures used are expressed in millibars (mbar): 1 mbar = 10 Pa.
Note 2 to entry: The test pressures are given in Tables 5 and 6 of EN 437:2021.
3.3.2.3
normal pressure
p
n
pressure under which the appliances operate in nominal conditions, when they are supplied with the
corresponding reference gas
3.3.2.4
limit pressures
maximum pressure: p and minimum pressure: p
max min
pressures representative of the extreme variations in the supply conditions
3.3.2.5
pressure couple
combination of two distinct gas distribution pressures applied by reason of the significant difference
existing between the Wobbe indices within a single family or group in which:
— the higher pressure corresponds only to gases of low Wobbe index;
— the lower pressure corresponds to gases of high Wobbe index
3.4 Terms and definitions relating to the parts of the appliance:
3.4.1 Burners:
3.4.1.1
burners
component devices that allow the gas to burn
Note 1 to entry: They may be one of two types:
— non-aerated burners in which the air for combustion is entrained entirely at the burner outlet;
— aerated burners in which part of the air for combustion termed “primary air”, is entrained by the gas
flow and is mixed with gas before the burner outlet. The remainder of the air, called “secondary air” is
entrained after the burner outlet.
Note 2 to entry: These burners consist of:
— a gas injector;
— a body forming the mixing tube;
— a head equipped with ports for the air-gas mixture.
3.4.1.2
ignition burners
small burners, the flame of which is intended to light a principal burner
3.4.1.3
principal burners
burners intended to assure a thermal function to the appliance
Note 1 to entry: In this document they are referred to as burners.
3.4.1.4
covered burners
hob burners for which the pans being heated are screened from direct flame contact by the interposition
of a surface on which they rest
Note 1 to entry: Covered burners may be of two types:
— non enclosed covered burners;
— enclosed covered burners.
3.4.1.4.1
non enclosed covered burner
covered burner for which all products of combustion are evacuated directly to atmosphere, e.g. around
the periphery of the plate and which is designed so that partial visibility of the flames is possible in normal
operation
Note 1 to entry: A non-enclosed covered burner can be:
— permanent, i.e. designed to be used only with the plate in position;
— temporary, i.e. designed so that it may also be used as an uncovered burner after removal of the
removable plate.
3.4.1.4.2
enclosed covered burner
covered burner having a combustion circuit in which all products of combustion are evacuated to
atmosphere indirectly through a purpose-designed outlet
Note 1 to entry: The burner may be so enclosed that flames may not be visible during normal operation.
3.4.1.5
uncovered burners
hob burners for which the pans being heated are in direct contact with the flames
3.4.1.6
injector
component part that admits the gas into an aerated burner
Note 1 to entry: There are two types of injectors:
— calibrated injector in which the section of the outlet orifice is fixed;
— adjustable injector in which the section of the outlet orifice is variable.
3.4.1.7
multi-ring hob burners
hob burner assembly having two or more rings of burner ports
Note 1 to entry: The term ring includes any distribution of burner ports around the central axis of the burner.
3.4.1.7.1
multi-ring hob burner with sectional control
multi-ring hob burner that is so designed that one or more of its rings of burner ports can be utilised
independently
Note 1 to entry: They can be Type II, Type III and Type V as defined in Annex G
3.4.1.7.2
multi-ring hob burner with simple control
multi-ring hob burner that is so designed that its rings of burner ports cannot be utilised independently
Note 1 to entry: They can be Type I as defined in Annex G.
3.4.2 Auxiliary equipment, control devices
3.4.2.1
auxiliary equipment
all controls and devices that can affect the safety of operation of the gas appliance or the gas part of a
combined gas-electric appliance
EXAMPLES
— taps and cocks;
— pressure regulators;
— flame supervision devices;
— thermostats.
3.4.2.2
ignition device
device to ignite one or more burners directly or indirectly
Note 1 to entry: It may be:
— an electrical means (resistance, spark, etc.);
— a thermal means (e.g. a match or a gas lighter, etc.).
3.4.2.3
automatic re-ignition device
device, whose function is to re-ignite the gas automatically after the extinction of the flame during
operation without the gas supply being interrupted
3.4.2.4
putting an adjuster or control out of service
adjuster or control (of rate, pressure etc.) when it is put out of action and sealed in this position, in which
case the appliance then functions as if this device had been removed
3.4.2.5
means of assuring soundness
static or dynamic device intended to assure soundness, e.g.: flat face joints, O-ring joints, conical joints,
diaphragms, greases, pastes, mastics
3.4.2.6
primary air adjuster
device allowing the primary aeration of a burner to be set at a pre-determined value according to the
supply conditions
Note 1 to entry: The operation of changing the setting of this device is termed the “adjustment of primary air”.
3.4.2.7
reduced gas rate adjuster
device allowing the reduced. gas rate to a burner to be set at a pre-determined value according to the
supply conditions
Note 1 to entry: The adjustment may be continuous (adjustment screw) or discontinuous (change of calibrated
orifices, etc.).
Note 2 to entry: The operation of changing the setting of this device is termed the “adjustment of the reduced gas
rate”.
3.4.2.8
locking of an adjuster
immobilization, during the production or by the installer, of an adjuster in its adjustment position by
some means (screw, etc.)
3.4.2.9
sealing of an adjuster
arrangement relating to the adjuster whereby any change to the adjustment causes breaking of the
sealing device and makes interference with the adjuster apparent; the adjuster is then said to be sealed
in the adjusted position
Note 1 to entry: A factory-sealed adjuster is regarded as non-existent.
