This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by
13、 publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2002. The standard is one of a series of standards for ductwork used for ventilation and air conditioning of buildings for human occupancy. The
14、 position of this standard in the field of mechanical building services is shown in Figure 1. According to the CENKENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Fi
15、nland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 3 EN 12236:2002 (E) Mechanical building services I Control Systems L Ventilation and air units I Heating Systems 2 Air handling Installation I

The standard applies to any shape of ductwork (rectangular, circular and oval), and components used in ventilation and air
19、 conditioning systems in buildings. 4 EN 12236:2002 (E) The standard also takes into account insulation loads, safety factors, imposed loads (cleaning and maintenance), vibration isolation, and corrosion resistance. The standard does not consider loading due to earthquakes. The standard does not dea

These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are
21、listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

25、t the load imposed by the air distribution system. The suppodhanger system shall therefore be designed to ensure a secure support for the ductwork system. Particular attention shall be given to the support of individual components included in ductwork systems. Ductwork components will generally be i
26、n accordance with EN 1505, EN 1506, ENV 12097, prEN 1507 and prEN 12237. The designer shall also take account of insulation loads, imposed loads (cleaning and maintenance), vibration isolation and corrosion resistance, together with necessary safety factors. 5 Support attachment to building structur
27、e The requirements in this standard are specified on the basis that the building has been designed to accept the load imposed by mechanical and air distribution services and systems. The selected method of attachment to the structure shall ensure the following: a) compatibility with the building mat
28、erial at the fixing point; b) a defined permissible load; 5 EN 12236:2002 (E) c) an anti-corrosion characteristic appropriate to the installation environment. 6 Determination of load Due to the wide variety of construction methods used in both manufacturing of sheet metal air ducts and similarly the
29、 variety of supporting methods in each particular building, it is not practical to offer a fixed method of calculating loads. Deflection of the duct shall not significantly affect the airflow conditions and consideration shall be given to the loading conditions including the following: a) the weight
30、 tables for various sizes of duct provided by the duct manufacturer; b) the weight of the insulation material, if any, applied to the ductwork, including the weight of any surface cladding; c) the weight of any components included in the ductwork and not independently suspended, e.g. acoustic treatm
31、ent, silencers, dampers etc.; d) the weight of the hanger structure; e) the additional weight of a person or persons who may gain access to the ductwork for purpose of cleaning or maintenance; f) the possibility that external loads, e.g. ladders, will be imposed for which a separate loading calculat
32、ion is required; g) the operating temperature of the duct system, where applicable. Taking account of the factors a) to g), the availability of suitable fixing points shall be established and a separate calculation shall be made, where necessary, to establish the load on each fixing. 7 Supports for
33、ductwork 7.1 Attachment to structure The fixing selected to provide the attachment to the structure shall have a safety factor of at least three in respect to the calculated load imposed by the support and duct sections. 7.2 Support construction For ducts the support can comprise vertical and/or hor
34、izontal components. The vertical component(s) shall be designed with a safety factor of at least 13 related to the yield strength of the material of the support in respect of the load imposed by the duct to be supported, including additional loads due to, for example, insulation, cladding or future
35、access requirements. The horizontal components shall be capable of supporting the total calculated load imposed by the duct and any other loads (e.g. man loading) on the duct. Components shall be designed to ensure that the deflection between the connections to the vertical components and any part o
36、f the horizontal component shall not exceed 0,4 % of the distance between the vertical fixings. The connection between the vertical and horizontal components(s) shall also be designed with a safety factor of 13 in relation to the yield strength of the material of the support, and shall not rely on f
37、riction devices. Where applicable, brackets shall be designed to support the load due to the ductwork and insulation and any benefit derived from horizontal duct connections or supports shall be excluded from the calculations. 6 EN 12236:2002 (E) 8 Connection between duct and support It is usually n
38、ot required to fasten support members to ducts where ducts are installed horizontally, and are supported on a support bearer. Where the duct is supported by brackets that are fixed directly to the duct wall, or a duct joint, the fixings used the design of the fixings used shall include the same safe
39、ty factors as the support structure. 9 Spacing of duct supports Spacing requirements shall be such as to take account of the strength of the supports, the strength of the ductwork assembly and the need to ensure that deflection of the ductwork shall not affect the leakage, aerodynamic properties and
40、 the physical integrity of the ductwork system. Where items of equipment, e.g. fans, heaters, mixing boxes, etc., are likely to be removed or replaced, they shall be supported independently of the ductwork. All items that are subjected to the effects of mechanical pressure related vibrations or ther
41、mal movement shall be considered individually in the support system design. 7 BS EN 12236:2002 BSI 389 Chiswick High Road Lon don w4 4AL BSI is the independent national body responsible for preparing British Standards.
