Echangeurs thermiques - Définitions de la performance des échangeurs thermiques et procédure générale d'essai pour la détermination de la performance de tous les échangeurs thermiques
La présente norme européenne fait partie d'une série de normes européennes consacrées aux échangeurs thermiques. Celle-ci fournit au constructeur les info nécessaires à la présentation des caractéristiques de performance d'un échangeurthermique dans diverses conditions de fonctionnements. Ces caractéristiques forment la base de l'évaluation de l'état d'un échangeur, qu'il soit neuf ou qu'il fonctionne déjà depuis un certain temps. Cette norme fournit également auxacheteurs d'é.th. les info nécessaires pour spécifier et choisir le produit le mieux adapté à leurs besoins.

Overview
EN 305:1997 (CEN) - Heat exchangers: Definitions of performance and general test procedure - provides European-level guidance on the terminology, theory, calculations and a general test procedure used to determine the performance of heat exchangers. The standard is intended as a general reference that applies when cited by more specific branch application standards. It covers heat exchangers classified according to the heat transfer surface arrangements referenced in prEN 247:1996 (types 4.1 and 4.2).
Key topics and requirements
- Definitions and terminology: Standardized terms for describing heat exchanger performance and measurement results to ensure consistent reporting across manufacturers and test laboratories.
- Performance calculations and theory: General calculation methods and theoretical background used to determine thermal effectiveness, overall heat transfer rates and related performance indicators (presented as general principles rather than prescriptive formulas for specific models).
- General test procedure: A harmonized approach for conducting performance tests on heat exchangers, including measurement objectives, key test parameters and procedural steps applicable across different exchanger designs.
- Scope and applicability: Applies specifically to exchangers with surface arrangements defined in prEN 247:1996 (heat transfer surface types 4.1 and 4.2) and is intended to be used when referenced by industry-specific standards; application-specific standards take precedence for detailed requirements.
- Consistency and traceability: Emphasizes clear reporting of test conditions and results so performance data are comparable and traceable between suppliers, testing bodies and end users.
Applications and users
EN 305:1997 is useful for:
- Heat exchanger manufacturers preparing performance data and technical datasheets.
- Test laboratories and QA teams establishing general test setups and reporting methods for thermal performance.
- Design engineers in HVAC, boiler, chemical process and power industries who need consistent performance definitions for component selection and system modelling.
- Standards writers and certification bodies referencing general performance definitions when developing application-specific standards or conformity assessments.
Practical uses include establishing baseline test methods, ensuring consistent thermal performance reporting, supporting product comparison, and feeding reliable input data into system simulations.
Related standards
- prEN 247:1996 - referenced for heat transfer surface classification (types 4.1 and 4.2).
- Application-specific EN standards for boilers, HVAC equipment and process heat exchangers - these take precedence when they reference EN 305:1997.
Keywords: EN 305:1997, heat exchangers, heat exchanger testing, performance definitions, test procedure, CEN standard, heat transfer, thermal performance.
