The materials used in water installations

33、, including the materials of protection units in contact with drinking water, shall satisfy the European standards and national acceptance criteria and/or national restrictions for use currently in force in EU and EFTA. They shall be compatible with each other, with the water supplied and with the f

34、luids or substances that can come into contact with them. There are no special requirements concerning the materials downstream of the atmospheric outlet opening provided they do not have any harmful effect on the upstream part. 7 Requirements 7.1 General The protection assembly comprises four parts

35、: water inlet device; receiving vessel (container); overflow; air break to drain. 7.2 Water inlet device Every feed pipe, float-operated valve or other device which controls the inflow of water to a receiving vessel shall be securely and rigidly fixed to maintain air gap. The outlet of the inlet dev

36、ice shall not come into contact in any way with a product from downstream, and will always be above the maximum level H (see Figure 3). Adjustable or dismantleable joints are not permitted below the maximum operational level. Submerged supply pipes shall be made from corrosion resistant materials an

37、d be pressure tested as part of the inlet device.

An air break to drain shall comply with the requirements of EN 1717, excluding W.Cs. 7.4 Air gap distance 7.4.1 Single supply For air gaps family A, type G the critical water level (h) shall be established and the air gap distance A measured from the lowest point o

40、f the water inlet to the critical water level (see Figure 3). For air gap distances see Table 1. The air gap can be determined by one of the following methods: a) h is determined by test measurement of the depth of water above the spillover level of the overflow 2 s after the inflow equal to Q = 0,1

44、ater supply shall be dimension A above the critical water level. The critical water level (3.3) shall be determined with all feed pipes discharging at an individual inflow calculated at Q = 0,14 D2. If the flow rate Q cannot be achieved, apply a dynamic pressure of 1 MPa (10 bar) on all inlets. No f

45、eed orifice shall be less than distance A above the critical water level. For calculating air gap distance A use =22 DA 7.4.3 Backflow/back pressure If the receiving vessel can be subject to positive pressure backflow, it is important that the inlet orifice is positioned so that it cannot be contami

46、nated by the ascending/returning backflow fluid. When the air gap is part of an installation which can generate positive pressure backflow it is essential that a means of limiting the flow rate to a rate which will not comprise the overflow arrangement is incorporated, i.e. non return valve fitted u

47、pstream of the pressurisation unit. Potable water inlets shall terminate at a higher level than non-potable inlets and never closer than 2 D measured horizontally and vertically downward. 7.5 Verification 7.5.1 General Verification can be achieved by test or by measurement. 7.5.2 Procedure for verif

48、ication by test See 7.4.1 (a) and 7.4.2. a) Sequence of test close all outlets (except the overflow); identify D; calculate Q; apply flow rate Q and maintain maximum water level; note contact with the outlet of the inlet device(s) during filling and the maximum level; Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Mo
