BS EN 13077:2008EN 13077:2008 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the characteristics and the requirements of air gap with non-circular overflow (unrestricted) Family A, Type B for nominal flow velocity not exceeding 3 m/s. Air gaps are devices for protection of potable wat

20、er in water installations from pollution. This European Standard applies to air gaps in factory-assembled products and to constructed air gaps in situ, and defines the physico-chemical characteristics of materials of construction used for the purpose and application to ensure compliance with this Eu

21、ropean Standard during normal working use. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The materials used in water installations, including the materials of protection units in contact with drinking water, shall sat

29、isfy the European Standards and national acceptance criteria and/or national restrictions for use currently in force in EU and EFTA. They shall be compatible among themselves and with the water supplied and with the fluids or substances that can come into contact with them. There are no special requ

30、irements 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 three parts: water inlet device; receiving vessel (container); non-circular overflow. 7.2 Wat

31、er inlet device Every float-operated valve or other device, which controls the inflow of water to a receiving vessel, shall be securely and rigidly fixed to that vessel. Every feed pipe supplying water to such a valve assembly or other device shall be fixed in its position to pre-vent it from moving

32、 or buckling. The feed pipe, inlet device and its outlet shall not come into contact in any way with a product from down-stream; it shall always be above level H (see Figure 3). When maintaining the maximum flow rate at normal operating conditions, if contact is observed between the upstream compone

33、nts and the liquid in the receiving vessel due to splashing, foaming or turbulence, the air gap shall be increased to a point where no contact is observed.

For air gaps Family A, Type B the critical water level shall be established and the air gap distance measured from the lowest point of the water inlet to the critical water level (see 3.3). The height of the overflow arrangement Ow is 2D + h and never less

36、than 20 mm (see Figures 4 and 5).

An additional circular warning pipe can also be fitted if required. BS EN 13077:2008EN 13077:2008 (E) 10 7.4 Air gap distance 7.4.1 Single supply For ai

38、r gaps Family A, Type B the critical water level shall be established and the air gap distance A measured from the lowest point of the water inlet to the critical water level (see Figure 3). The distance A is 2D and not less than 20 mm and h is determined either by: a) measurement of the depth of wa

39、ter above the spillover level of the overflow arrangement, 2 s after the inflow equal to Q = 0,14D2in litres per minute has stopped or a dynamic pressure of 1 MPa (10 bar) has stopped if the flow rate Q cannot be achieved, where D is the bore of the inlet, (see 3.6) and with all out-lets including o

40、ptional warning pipe (except the overflow arrangement) closed, based on velocity of 3 m/s, or the maximum recommended flow rate for manufactured appliances, when the flow rate is higher than Q; b) calculating the depth of water above the spillover level of the overflow arrangement using the followin

41、g equation: 323143,310=lQh (1) where Q is the inflow in litres per minute at 3 m/s (Q = 0,14 D2); l is the width of the overflow arrangement in millimetres. The calculation is only valid where: width (l) is greater than or equal to 10 h at the spillover level; crest thickness of the overflow arrange

42、ment (Cw) is less than or equal to 5 h; upstream face of the overflow arrangement (Uw) is vertical to a depth greater than or equal to 5 h; the depth of the overflow arrangement or notch (Ow) is greater than or equal to 2D + h and never less than 20 mm. When the overflow is not rectangular in design

43、 it shall satisfy air gap dimension A by test; see 7.4.1 a). 7.4.2 Multiple supplies In the case of multiple feed pipes to a single vessel having a non-circular unrestricted overflow, the distance of the air gaps for the potable water supply shall be dimension A above the critical water level. The c

44、ritical water level (3.3) shall be determined 2 s after stopping the inflow with all feed pipes discharging at an individual in-flow calculated at Q = 0,14D2 in litres per minute. If the flow rate Q cannot be achieved, apply a dynamic pres-sure of 1 MPa (10 bar) on all inlets. No feed orifice shall

45、be less than distance A above the critical water level. For calculating air gap distance A, use: =22 DA (2) BS EN 13077:2008EN 13077:2008 (E) 11 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 posi-tioned so

46、 that the ascending/returning backflow fluid cannot contaminate it. 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 shall not compromise the overflow arrangement is incorporated, i.e. no

47、n-return valve fitted upstream of the pressurisation unit. Potable water inlets shall terminate at a higher level than non-potable inlets and never closer than 2 D meas-ured horizontally and vertically downward. 7.5 Verification 7.5.1 General Verification can be achieved by calculation or by measure

48、ment. 7.5.2 Procedure for verification by measurement (see 7.4.1 a) and 7.4.2) a) Sequence of test: 1) Close all outlets (except the overflow). 2) Identify D. 3) Calculate Q. 4) Apply flow rate Q and maintain maximum water level. 5) Note contact with inlet device(s) during filling and at maximum lev

49、el. 6) Stop flow rate Q. 7) After 2 s establish distance h. 8) Measure air gap distance between distance h and the lowest point of the feed orifice. b) Requirements: 1) No contact is possible between the receiving vessel fluid and the inlet device(s). 2) The height Ow shall be 2D + h and never less than 20 mm. 3) The air gap distance A shall be 2D and never less than 20 mm. 7.5.3 Procedures for verification by calculation See 7.4.1, b).
