24、ning shall be given in the manufacturers instructions. 4.1.3 Hydraulic connections Hydraulic connections shall be of a type that allows the storage water heater to be disconnected from the pipework. 4.2 Temperature control The temperature of the stored drinking water shall be regulated either by con
25、trol of the heat source or sources or by control of the water heater.

26、 design pressure (as specified by the manufacturer) for a period of not less than 10 min without showing any leakage or cracking. 4.3.2 Pressure resistance of primary heater When tested in accordance with 6.2, the primary heater or heaters shall withstand a pressure of 2,0 times the maximum design p
27、ressure, as specified by the manufacturer, for a period of not less than 10 min without showing any leakage or cracking. 4.3.3 Durability 4.3.3.1 General Water heaters shall be tested for durability by pressure cycle testing to either 4.3.3.2 or 4.3.3.3 as appropriate. See Figure 2 for details. The
28、storage water heater shall show no signs of leakage or cracking after testing. For water heaters without inlet pressure and system expansion control and where the internal pressure is likely to reach maximum design pressure due to water expansion after heat input, the test in 4.3.3.2 shall be applie
29、d. For water heaters designed for use with expansion vessels or internal expansion space such that the rise in internal pressure due to expansion is controlled to below maximum design pressure, then the alternative 4.3.3.3 shall be used. If 4.3.3.3 is used then the installation manual supplied with
30、the water heater shall specify the pressure reduction and expansion control devices required. 4.3.3.2 Water heaters without inlet pressure and system expansion control The water heater shall be subjected to either 20 000 periodic cycles at 1,2 maximum design pressure or 100 000 periodic cycles at 1,
31、0 maximum design pressure. 4.3.3.3 Water heaters designed for use with expansion vessels or internal expansion space For water heaters supplied for use with inlet pressure controls and expansion control systems and these control systems are supplied with the water heater then the water heater shall
32、be subjected to either 20 000 periodic cycles at 1,5 maximum inlet pressure or 100 000 periodic cycles at 1,3 maximum inlet pressure. This procedure is illustrated by Figure 1.
