15、as been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 181, Dedicated liquefied petroleum gas appliances, the Secretariat of which is held by NSAI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 1999
16、, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 1999. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with E
17、U Directive(s), see informative annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard. This European Standard applies only to type testing. Items relating to quality assurance systems, production testing and particularly certificates of conformity of auxiliary equipment are not covered by this Europe
18、an Standard. Particular attention should be paid to the suitability of non-metallic materials used in the construction of these appliances. A European Standard specifying “Requirements for rubber materials for seals and diaphragms for gas appliances and equipment” has been prepared by CEN/TC 108 (EN
19、 549). A European Standard for “Flexible hose, tubing and assembles for use with butane or propane in the vapour phase” is being prepared by CEN/TC 218. These standards will be applicable to these types of appliances. This European Standard does not deal with the refrigeration aspects of the applian
20、ce and contains no specific requirements or tests for this. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, I

29、 Annex ZA (informative) Clauses of this European Standard addressing essential requirements or other provisions of EU Directives 23Page 4 EN 732:1998 BSI 05-1999 1 Scope This standard defines the constructional features, safety and operational requirements, test techniques and marking of absorption
30、refrigerators using commercial butane and propane (referred to within the text as “appliances”). This standard is applicable to room sealed (type C 11 ) and flueless (type A 11 ), as defined in CR 1749, refrigerators using gas equipment fuelled by third family gases as classified in 4.2. This standa
31、rd only applies to type testing. The gas consumption of absorption refrigerators is of the same order of magnitude as pilots currently used on other types of burners, maximum being 60 g/h. Consequently efficiency measurement is not considered relevant for these appliances and is not covered by this
32、standard. This standard does not cover the requirements for LPG gas containers and their associated regulators. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places

Because of this th

It may be one of two types: non aerated burner, in which the air for combustion is entrained entirely at the burner outlet; aerated burner, in which part of the air for combustion, termed pr
42、imary air, is entrained by the gas flow and mixed before the burner outlet. The remainder of the air, termed secondary air, is drawn in after the burner outlet 3.5 calorific value quantity of heat produced by complete combustion at a constant pressure equal to 1 013,25 mbar, of unit volume or mass o
43、f the gas, the components of the fuel mixture being at 158C, 1 013,25 mbar, and the products of combustion being brought to the same conditionsPage 5 EN 732:1998 BSI 05-1999 There are two calorific values: the gross calorific value (symbol H s ): the water produced by combustion is assumed to be con
44、densed; the net calorific value (symbol H i ): the water produced by combustion is assumed to be retained in the vapour state. For the purposes of this standard only the gross calorific value is used. The calorific values are expressed in units of energy referred: either to the unit volume of dry ga
45、s measured under normal reference conditions: 158C, 1 013,25 mbar. It is expressed in megajoules per cubic metre (MJ/m 3 ); or to the unit mass of dry gas. It is then expressed in megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg). 3.6 control handle component intended for manual use to control the opening and closing

The operation of changing the setting of this device is termed the “adjustment of the gas rate” 3.12 gas supply pressure diffe

It is expressed in kilowatts (kW), symbol: Q. For the purposes of this standard, only the heat input calculated from the gross calorific value is considered (see 3.5) 3.14 ignition device device to ignite a burner directly.
