BS EN 12977-2:2012EN 12977-2:2012 (E) 5 Introduction a) Drinking water quality In respect of potential adverse effects on the quality
29、 of drinking water intended for human consumption caused by the product covered by this document, it should be noted that 1) this document provides no information as to whether the product may be used without restriction in any of the Member States of the EU or EFTA, 2) while awaiting the adoption o
30、f verifiable European criteria, existing national regulations concerning the use and/or the characteristics of this product remain in force. b) Factory made and custom built solar heating systems EN 12976-1, EN 12976-2, EN 12977-1, EN 12977-2, EN 12977-3, EN 12977-4 and EN 12977-5 distinguish two ca
31、tegories of solar heating systems: 1) factory made solar heating systems; and 2) custom built solar heating systems. The classification of a system as factory made or custom built is a choice of the final supplier, in accordance to the following definitions. 1) Factory made solar heating systems are
32、 batch products with one trade name, sold as complete and ready to install kits, with fixed configurations. Systems of this category are considered as a single product and assessed as a whole. If a factory made solar heating system is modified by changing its configuration or by changing one or more
33、 of its components, the modified system is considered as a new system. Requirements and test methods for factory made solar heating systems are given in EN 12976-1 and EN 12976-2. 2) Custom built solar heating systems are either uniquely built or assembled by choosing from an assortment of component
34、s. Systems of this category are regarded as a set of components. The components are separately tested and test results are integrated to an assessment of the whole system. Requirements for custom built solar heating systems are given in EN 12977-1, test methods are specified in EN 12977-2, EN 12977-
35、3, EN 12977-4 and EN 12977-5. Custom built solar heating systems are subdivided into two categories: i) large custom built systems are uniquely designed for a specific situation. In general, they are designed by HVAC engineers, manufacturers or other experts; ii) small custom built systems offered b
36、y a company are described in a so-called assortment file, in which all components and possible system configurations, marketed by the company, are specified. Each possible combination of a system configuration with components from the assortment is considered as one custom built system. Table 1 show
37、s the division for different system types. BS EN 12977-2:2012EN 12977-2:2012 (E) 6 Table 1 Division for factory made and custom built solar heating systems Factory made solar heating systems (EN 12976-1 and EN 12976-2) Custom built solar heating systems (EN 12977-1, EN 12977-2, EN 12977-3, EN 12977-
38、4 and EN 12977-5) Integral collector-storage systems for domestic hot water preparation Forced circulation systems for hot water preparation and/or space heating/cooling, assembled using components and configurations described in a documentation file (mostly small systems) Thermosiphon systems for d
39、omestic hot water preparation Forced circulation systems as batch product with fixed configuration for domestic hot water preparation Uniquely designed and assembled systems for hot water preparation and/or space heating/cooling (mostly large systems) NOTE 1 Forced circulation systems can be classif
40、ied either as factory made or as custom built, depending on the market approach chosen by the final supplier. NOTE 2 Both factory made and custom built systems are performance tested under the same set of basic reference conditions as specified in EN 12976-2:2006, Annex B and in EN 12977-2:2012, Ann
41、ex A. In practice, the installation conditions may differ from these reference conditions. c) Test methods and procedures for the analysis of large custom built solar heating systems Quality assurance is of primary importance for large custom built systems. The total investment cost for such systems
42、 is higher than for smaller ones, although the specific investment cost (i.e., per m collector area) is lower. In several European countries, the potential of large custom built systems from the point of view of conventional energy savings is much larger than for smaller ones. Moreover, the return o
43、n investment is in many cases more favourable for large systems than for small ones. Hence, both the purchasers of large custom built systems and the governments are interested in efficient, reliable and durable systems, the thermal performance of which may be accurately predicted, checked and super
44、vised. The test methods in this document provide a means of verifying the compliance of large custom built systems with the requirements in EN 12977-1. NOTE 3 Within the framework of the EU ALTENER Programme the project “Guaranteed Solar Results“ (GSR) was addressing similar objectives in respect of
45、 quality assurance (see 7, 8). Similar procedures and monitoring equipment were used as described in Annexes C and D. It might be necessary to update Annexes C and D at a later stage during a revision of this document when more expertise is available. As large custom built systems are by definition
46、unique systems, only general procedures on how to check and supervise them may be given. An additional difficulty in the formulation of procedures is the fact that they have to be adapted to the dimension of the large custom built system considered, which may vary from typically 30 m to 30 000 m of
47、collector area. Therefore, several possible levels of analysis are included (Annexes C and D). The objective of the two short-term system tests presented in Annex C is the characterization of system performance and/or the estimation of the ability of the system to deliver the energy claimed by the d
48、esigner. In principle, two approaches for short-term system testing are referred to in this European Standard: 1) a simplified check of short-term system performance, carried out by intercomparison of the measured thermal solar system heat gain with the one predicted by simulation, using the actual weather and operating conditions as measured during the short-term test; BS EN 12977-2:2012EN 12977-2:2012 (E) 7 2) a short-term test for long-term system performance prediction. The performance of the most relevant components of the solar heating system is measured for a certain time
