18、n, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The product standards on check valves are currently being worked out within CEN/TC 164/WG 4. The requirements for the endurance tests that will be laid down for these products may cause the revision of the present standard for reasons of homogeneity. INTRODUCTI

19、ON In respect of potential adverse effect on the quality of water intended for human consumption, caused by the product covered by this standard: a) This standard provides no information as to whether the product may be used without restriction in any of the Member States of the EU or EFTA. b) It sh

20、ould be noted that, whilst awaiting the adoption of verifiable European criteria, existing national regulations concerning the use and/or the characteristics of this product remain in force.Page 4 EN 1488:2000 BSI 10-2000 1 SCOPE This European Standard specifies dimensions, materials and performance

21、 requirements (including methods of test) for expansion groups, of nominal sizes from DN 15 to DN 40, having working pressures 1) from 0,1 MPa (l 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 tempe

22、rature of 95C, 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. Expansion groups do not control temperature and alone do not constitute the protection required for storage water heaters. NOTE: T

23、he use of the device specified in this standard does not override the need to use controls (e.g. thermostats and thermal cut-outs) which act directly on the power sources of water heaters. 2 NORMATIVE REFERENCES This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from othe

30、 prevents the backflow of the heated water into the circuit and the contamination of water contained in the water heater with discharged water. An expansion group comprises, at least the following items in a single unit, in an upstream to downstream order as shown in table 1. Table 1 - Components of

If a second valve is to be fitted, it shall be between the check valve and the expansion valve. 3.3 check val

33、ve allows water to flow in the cold to hot direction when fitted to a water heater, and automatically prevents heated water returning to the cold water supply. 3.4 expansion valve limits the pressure of the water in the water heater to a predetermined value by discharging water to drain. 3.5 drain d

34、evice allows the water heater to be drained without it having to be removed. The outlet connection is also used to discharge water from the expansion valve. 3.6 air gap prevents discharged water from returning to the expansion group and thus to the water heater. 3.7 pressure tapping allows pressure

35、measuring equipment to be connected. 3.8 nominal set pressure (P nr ) is the pressure of the expansion valve which is set on production. 3.9 water tightness pressure (P e ) is the pressure up to which the expansion valve is closed (see figure 1). 3.10 initial opening pressure (P dc ) is the pressure

36、 at which the expansion valve opens for the first time, after a period of storage (see figure 1). 3.11 opening pressure (P o ) is the pressure at which a flow rate of 2,4 litres/hour of water is attained (see figure 1). 3.12 rating pressure (P dn ) is the pressure at which the water discharge capaci

37、ty of the expansion valve corresponds to the rated flow (see figure 1 and table 7).Page 6 EN 1488:2000 BSI 10-2000 3.13 closing pressure (P f ) is the pressure at which the expansion valve closes after having reached the rating pressure (see figure 1).
