DIN EN 16798-15:2017-11

This document (EN 16798-9:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 156 "Ventilation for buildings". The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 041-05-02 AA "Energetische Bewertung von raumluft- und klimakältetechnischen Anlagen" ("Energy efficiency of ventilation/air conditioning and refrigeration systems") at DIN Standards Committee Heating and Ventilation Technology and their Safety (NHRS). This European Standard specifies a calculation method for the energy performance of storage systems used for ventilation systems. It takes into account the energy performance of storage systems using water from phase change material (PCM) to store cooling energy. This standard presents a general method applicable to the different technologies of water-based storage systems or PCM related controls systems. It does not cover the cooling emission, distribution and generation that are covered by EN 15316 2, EN 15316 3 and EN 16798-13 respectively. The standard covers typically hourly time steps but can be adapted to different time steps accordingly with the scenarios used for energy use and energy delivered or to bin method. A simplified method is provided for monthly or annual time step. This standard does not cover: - the cooling emission, distribution and generation systems; or - sizing or inspection of such storage systems.
