16、s Committee. It has been revised in terms of metric units and now provides details of the essential requirements for hot water storage units, in capacities between65 litres and180 litres, of a type which incorporates a cold water feed cistern. These appliances, known as “combination units”, are desi

17、gned for use with water heating appliances which are connected by pipework, but provision can also be made to use either an electric immersion heater or gas circulator fitted to the unit itself either as an auxiliary or as the sole method of heating. An “indirect” type of combination unit is intende

18、d for service where it is essential that the circulating water is kept separate from the domestic hot water. There is provision for both single feed and double feed indirect types. Single feed indirect units should not be used in sealed systems and they have limited application on direct pump circul

19、ation. There has been general rationalization to align the standard with BS699 and BS1566-1 and BS1566-2, which include a specification for area of heating surfaces of primary heaters and revised performance tests. Appendix F gives a list of information that should be supplied by the purchaser with

20、an enquiry or order. The drafting committee is considering the question of the requirement in clause5 of measuring thickness of copper sheet before forming, and it is the intention to deal with this matter in the revision of BS699 and BS1566-1 and BS1566-2. When this matter is resolved, it is intend

21、ed to issue an amendment to this standard. The requirements specified in this standard are those considered to be necessary to ensure good performance and reliability of the appliance whilst leaving the manufacturers free to develop actual design, and for this reason, careful consideration has been

22、given to the inclusion of requirements for materials, construction and performance tests rather than to dimensions, which have been omitted as far as possible. The inclusion of integral plastics cold feed cisterns was considered but it was decided to omit reference to these. This matter will be kept

23、 under review. The following is a list of standards covering water storage vessels, mainly for domestic use, to which others may be added when considered necessary.

It is strongly recommended that in view of the nature of this specification, manufacturers and purchasers should make use of the certification facilities described on the inside back cover of this

29、81 BSI 07-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for direct, double feed indirect and single feed indirect types of combination hot water storage units having hot water storage capacities in a series of ranges between65 litres and 210 litres, in which, when water is drawn off fr

30、om the hot water storage vessel, there is automatically: a) replacement of water withdrawn by that from a cold water feed cistern incorporated in the unit and adjacent to the hot water vessel; and b) controlled replacement of the water in the cold water feed cistern from the water supply by means of

31、 a float operated valve. NOTEThe preferred hot water storage capacities are85, 115, 130, 140, 150, 180 and210 litres. 2 References The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the following de

A hot water storage vessel similar to the direct type except that the stored water is heated indirectly by the water circulating in an integral primary heater. This type requires an additional cistern open to atmosphere from which the feed

37、is taken to the primary circuit and into which the primary circuit is vented. The increase in volume of primary water due to expansion is accommodated in this primary feed and expansion cistern which may be incorporated in the combination unit. c) Single feed indirect type. A hot water storage vesse

The increase in volume of

43、4 Designation of copper combination units for ordering purposes For ordering purposes copper combination units shall be designated BS3198 followed by the shape, i.e. cylindrical, rectangular, etc., the type and the capacity in litres as follows: For example, BS3198: Rectangular: DF:115. The informat

44、ion needed to be supplied with an enquiry or order is set out inAppendix F. 5 Materials Units shall be constructed from copper sheet complying with section 8 of BS2870:1980. The minimum nominal thicknesses before forming shall be shown inTable 1. On cylindrical units the cold cistern shall be reinfo

45、rced by the inclusion of a swage in the body of the cistern at the water line (see7.2). NOTEThicker copper sheet may be necessary for certain units to ensure that permanent distortion does not occur on filling (see13.1). Where the copper is pressed, spun, swaged or manipulated to form a seam, the th

46、ickness after forming shall be not less than67% of that specified for sides inTable 1. NOTEIn this calculation the values specified are not subject to the tolerances allowed in BS2870. The thickness other than in the area of forming shall not be less than the minimum nominal thickness before forming

47、 specified inTable 1. The primary heater shall be constructed from one of the following: a) 28mm size copper tube complying with the requirements of BS2871-1 but in suitable temper for forming; or b) copper sheet as specified inTable 1; or c) a combination of the sheet and tube specified ina) and b)

48、. Copper tube for other purposes shall comply with the requirements of BS2871-1 but where appropriate, before forming, it shall have been in a suitable temper for forming.
