What is BS EN 12098-3 – Control equipment for electrical heating systems about?
BS EN 12098-3 European Standard is the third part of the BS EN 12098 series of standards that applies to electronic control equipment for heating systems with direct electrical emission, which have an integrated outside compensated function and or optimum start/stop function. This control equipment controls the distribution and/or the generation of heat in relation to the outside temperature and time and other reference variables. BS EN 12098-3 European Standard also covers controllers that contain an integrated optimum start or an optimum start-stop control function. Safety requirements on heating systems remain unaffected by BS EN 12098-3.
Note1: The dynamic behaviour of the local thermostats, sensors, or actuators is not covered in BS EN 12098-3.
Note2: A multi-distribution and/or multi-generation system needs a coordinated solution to prevent undesired interaction and is not part of BS EN 12098-3.
Who is BS EN 12098-3 - Control equipment for electrical heating systems for?
BS EN 12098-3 on the controller is useful for:
- Electrical water heating system manufacturers
- Electrical water heating system installer
- Controller manufacturers
- Architects
- Engineers
Why should you use BS EN 12098-3 - Control equipment for electrical heating systems?
Electrical heating systems are portable electric heaters that uses electricity to heat the homes. The controller in the electrical heating system modulates heating or control modes of electronic individual zone or emitter control equipment. BS EN 12098-3 provides operational and electrical requirements that you need to follow while manufacturing and installing of the hot water heating system. BS EN 12098-3 specifies test will check the ability to adapt the controller to the building types and heating systems and confirms the accuracy of the equipment. BS EN 12098-3 ensures that the heating system is reliable and efficient that provides equal heating to the homes.
