This European Standard specifies methods for the performance testing of components used in residential ventilation systems to establish the performance characteristics as identified in EN 13142 [1] This European Standard incorporates many references to other European and International Standards, especially on characteristics other than the aerodynamic characteristics, for instance on acoustic characteristics In most cases some additional tests or some additional conditions are given for the specific use in residential ventilation systems This European Standard can be used for the following applications: — laboratory testing; — attestation purposes The position of this European Standard in the field of standards for the mechanical building services is shown in Figure BS EN 13141-8:2014 EN 13141-8:2014 (E) Figure — Position of EN 13141-8 in the field of the mechanical building services BS EN 13141-8:2014 EN 13141-8:2014 (E) Scope This European Standard specifies the laboratory test methods and test requirements for the testing of aerodynamic, thermal and acoustic performance, and the electrical power of an un-ducted mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation unit used in a single room The purpose of this European Standard is not to consider the quality of ventilation but to test the performance of the equipment In general, a ventilation unit contains: — supply and exhaust air fans; — air filters; — air to air heat exchanger or air storage mass for exhaust air heat and humidity recovery; — control system; — inlet and outlet grilles Such equipment can be provided in more than one assembly, the separate assemblies of which are designed to be used together Such equipment can contain alternating heat exchangers which provide separate supply and exhaust air flows In certain cases, i.e alternating ventilation unit, the manufacturer may recommend that the equipment can be installed in such a way that it serves more than one room For the purpose of this European Standard, these products are assessed in a single room This European Standard does not deal with ducted units or units with heat pumps Safety requirements are given in EN 60335-2-80:2003 [2] Normative

risk of short-cut between the supply air and the extract air, and therefore is linked directly with the efficiency of the ventilation system Two tests are needed in order to determine the indoor mixing C.2 Determination of indoor mixing - First test Internal leakage on outdoor air shall be measured by means of a tracer gas at Pa and fans at maximum setting according to Figure c) The tracer gas should be introduced into the outdoor inlet duct as close as possible to the grille, if this is not possible, a short length of duct (less than 150 mm) of the same cross section as the grille should be fastened to the grille and the tracer gas introduced into the ductwork The tracer gas concentration should be measured at the line of the outdoor grilles If this is impossible short pieces of ductwork of the same cross section as the grille should be applied and measurement made within the ductwork To measure internal leakage on outdoor air a deflector is introduced between the indoor grilles and sealed to ensure that exhaust gas cannot be mixed back into the intake port The deflector should be applied between the extract and intake ports It should be fixed to the outside of the grille and extend to at least 300 mm in each direction Tracer gas is introduced into the outdoor inlet duct and the concentration is measured in both the extract and supply ports The internal leakage on outdoor air, as a percentage of the supply flow, is then the ratio of the two concentrations, so that:  C12     C22  c internal leakage on outdoor air = where term c refer to subfigure c of Figure C.3 Determination of indoor mixing - Second test The second test measures the consequences of both the internal leakages on outdoor air and the indoor mixing, when the deflector is removed according to Figure d) A separate mixing measurement is made at both the indoor and outdoor grille locations, the measurement with the highest percentage figure is used for the calculations C.4 Indoor mixing calculation The indoor mixing is therefore calculated as the difference between the percentages measured during this test and the internal leakage on outdoor air, so that: indoor mixing =  C12     C22  d  C  − 12   C22  c where terms c and d refer to subfigures c and d of Figure NOTE The duration of the test is limited such that any influence of the contamination/saturation of the test room from the gas is minimised 40 BS EN 13141-8:2014 EN 13141-8:2014 (E) Bibliography [1] EN 13142, Ventilation for buildings - Components/products for residential ventilation - Required
