What is BS EN 1434‑6‒Thermal energy meters maintenance about?
BS EN 1434‑6 is the sixth part of the multi-series standard that deals with the thermal energy meters.
BS EN 1434‑6 specifies commissioning, operational monitoring, and maintenance that applies to thermal energy meters. The thermal energy meter indicates the quantity of heat exchange in the form of legal units.
BS EN 1434‑6 covers meters for closed systems only, where the differential pressure over the thermal load is limited.
Note: BS EN 1434‑6 does not cover electrical safety requirements, pressure safety requirements, surface mounted temperature sensors.
Who is BS EN 1434-6‒Thermal energy meters maintenance for?
BS EN 1434‑6 on thermal energy meters maintenance is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of thermal energy meters
- Dealers and distributors of thermal energy meters
- Test and certification providers for thermal energy meters
- Service providers for thermal energy meters
Why should you use BS EN 1434‑6‒Thermal energy meters maintenance?
Thermal energy meters are instruments intended for measuring the energy in a heat-exchange circuit is absorbed (cooling) or given up (heating) by a liquid called the heat-conveying liquid. The thermal energy meter indicates the quantity of heat in legal units.
BS EN 1434‑6 guides you regarding thermal energy meter specification and installation instructions, which help you in designing the heating and cooling system, to enhance the efficiency of the measuring instruments.
BS EN 1434‑6 provides instructions, responsibilities to look out, and eligibility criteria, for carrying out the inspection in each phase, for any entity or service provider that arranges the commissioning, operational monitoring, and maintenance of the thermal energy meters.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 1434‑6:2015+A1:2019 supersedes BS EN 1434‑6:2015, which is withdrawn. BS EN 1434‑6:2015+A1:2019 includes the following technical changes:
- Special cases for combined thermal energy meters are added
- Additional functionalities for smart metering applications are added
- Installation requirements added for thermal energy meters which are located next to cables like data communication cables and mains supply cables
- Installation requirement changed for 4-wire connections
- Cooling meters are added
