DIN EN 12405-2:2012-10 EN 12405-2:2012 (E) 5 Introduction This introduction presents important concepts used in this standard. Energy conversion systems As an energy conversion device (ECD) comprises a numbe
30、r of different components and functions, for the purpose of this Standard, two different systems are considered: System 1, where the calorific value determination device (CVDD) is locally installed and is considered as being fully part of the ECD, and the energy calculator (EC) will have the ability
31、 to utilise a signal generated by this locally installed CVDD for determining energy. Figure 1 shows the various components of ECD system 1. Figure 1 Description of ECD system 1 DIN EN 12405-2:2012-10 EN 12405-2:2012 (E) 6 System 2, where the CVDD may not be locally installed and is considered as an
32、 external transducer of the system, and the calculator will have the ability to accept fixed or periodically updated signals for the calorific value for determining energy. Figure 2 shows the various components of ECD system 2. Figure 2 Description of ECD system 2 NOTE The various components of the
33、ECD need to be supplied as a matched, ready-foruse, set of devices; this applies to System 1 and System 2, and mechanically integrated or separated devices (see modular and global approaches below). Modular and global approaches In the modular approach, the ECD is an assembly of separate associated
34、measuring instruments (VCD and CVDD) and an energy calculator (EC), which are verified separately. Each instrument is verified according to its testing procedure, using the indication available on the energy calculator or on the associated measuring instrument itself. In this case, the indication sh
35、all correspond to the one which is directly processed in energy conversion. The verification of calculation consists in verifying the calculation concerning each characteristic quantity of the gas and/or the calculation for the energy conversion. The associated measuring instruments are approved for
36、 a type or some types of conversion device(s) in order to ensure the compatibility of the association. If the associated measuring instruments deliver a digital signal, they may be considered as interchangeable, provided the type examination certificate provides all the necessary conditions of compa
37、tibility with the calculator of the conversion device. In the global approach, the ECD is tested as a package, performing tests of the following functions: energy calculation, volume conversion and CV determination. The testing procedures are given in Clause 9. DIN EN 12405-2:2012-10 EN 12405-2:2012

40、 European Standard specifies the requirements and tests for the construction, performance, safety and conformity of conversion devices used to determine the energy of fuel gases described in the Table 1, including those of the 1st and 2nd families according to EN 437. The energy conversion device (E
41、CD) considered in this standard consists of an energy calculator (EC) and is associated with the following devices and/or functions: a volume conversion device (VCD) or a flow computer used as gas meter conversion, either conforming to EN 12405-1:2005+A2:2010, or to prEN 12405-3, for high accuracy m
42、easurements; a calorific value determination device (CVDD). Requirements for type approval tests of the devices, not included in the above-mentioned standards are described in appropriate annexes specified in Table 6. For the purpose of this European Standard, the term “volume conversion devices” (V
43、CDs) includes flow computers (FCs). A single calculator may undertake the volume conversion functions for different metering lines. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
