BS EN 12977-4:2018 - TC

This standard BS EN 12977-4:2018 - TC Tracked Changes. Thermal solar systems and components. Custom built systems is classified in these ICS categories:

• 97.100.99 Heaters using other sources of energy
• 27.160 Solar energy engineering

This European Standard specifies test methods for the performance characterization of stores which are intended for use in small custom built systems as specified in EN 12977-1. Stores tested according to this document are commonly used in solar combisystems. However, the thermal performance of all other thermal stores with water as a storage medium (e.g. for heat pump systems) can be also assessed according to the test methods specified in this document. This document applies to combistores with a nominal volume up to 3 000 l and without integrated burner. NOTE This document is extensively based on references to EN 12977-3:2012.
