They shall be compatible with each other, with the water supplied and with the fluids or substances that can come into contact with them. There are no special r

32、equirements 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: water inlet device; receiving vessel (container); overflow; air break to drain

33、. 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 device shall not come into contact in any way with a product from downstream, and w

Submerged supply pipes shall be made from corrosion resistant materials and be pressure tested as part of the inlet device. EN 14623:2005 (E) 8 Key 1 Feed

36、ements The overflow arrangements shall not be less than 19 mm internal diameter. The overflow arrangements shall include an air break prior to any connection to a drain. 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

37、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 of 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

38、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 = 0,14 D2in l/min 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 inlet bore (see 3.8) and with all

39、 outlets (except the EN 14623:2005 (E) 9 overflow) closed, based on a velocity of 3 m/s, or the maximum recommended flow rate for manufactured appliances when the flow rate is higher than Q; b) in the case of a pipe or valve not greater in size than 15 mm (G), by measurement of the air gap distance

40、A from the lowest point of the feed orifice and the centre line of the overflow pipe. Table 1 Air gap distance Pipe/valve size (inch/metric) Distance A (mm) DN 15 (G ) 20 mm DN 20 (G ) 25 mm DN 22 (G ) 2 D 7.4.2 Multiple supplies In the case of multiple feed pipes to a single vessel having an overfl

41、ow, the distance of the air gaps for the potable water 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 dyna

42、mic pressure of 1 MPa (10 bar) on all inlets. No feed 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

43、orifice is positioned so that it cannot be contaminated 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 arrangeme

44、nt is incorporated, i.e. non 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 measured horizontally and vertically downward. 7.5 Verification 7.5.1 General Verification can be achieved by

45、 test or by measurement. 7.5.2 Procedure for verification 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

46、the maximum level; EN 14623:2005 (E) 10 stop flow rate Q; after 2 s establish distance h; measure air gap between distance h and lowest point of the feed orifice. b) Requirements: no contact between the receiving vessel fluid and the outlet of the inlet device(s); measured air gap shall meet the req

47、uirements of dimension A (see Table 1). 7.5.3 Procedure for verification by measurement (single supply only) a) Sequence of measurement see 7.4.1 (b). b) Requirements measured air gap shall meet the requirements of dimension A (see Table 1). 8 Marking (not required for site constructed products) Eac

48、h appliance incorporating an air gap with minimum circular overflow (verified by test or measurement) family A, type G shall be clearly and permanently marked and accessibly visible. Marking shall indicate: a) manufacturers brand or logo; b) letter indicating family and type of air gap; c) denominat

49、ion (DN or D); d) reference to this European Standard. Following information to be given where possible: e) reference (type or model, etc.); f) serial number. 9 Technical documents The manufacturers documentation shall include the appropriate installation requirements to ensure the air gap is not compromised, including positive pressure backflow. blankBS EN 14623:2005BSI389 Chiswick High RoadLondonW4 4ALBSI British Standards InstitutionBSI is the independent national body resp
