EN 13779-2 Duct Airflow and Distribution Verification
The EN 13779:2009 standard for HVAC equipment provides comprehensive guidelines for the testing, commissioning, and verification of HVAC systems. Section 2 specifically addresses duct airflow and distribution verification, ensuring that the air delivery system meets design specifications.
Accurate duct airflow is critical to the performance and efficiency of HVAC systems. This service ensures that the air delivered by the ventilation network reaches its intended destination in the correct volume and pressure. The process involves detailed testing to verify the actual distribution of air across all outlets, ensuring they meet the design requirements.
Our state-of-the-art laboratory employs advanced equipment such as differential pressure transmitters, flow meters, anemometers, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to perform these tests. The results are documented in compliance with EN 13779-2, providing a clear report of the system's performance.
Before testing begins, all ducts should be cleaned and checked for obstructions or damage that could affect airflow measurement accuracy. The testing process involves measuring static pressure, velocity, and volume flow rates at various points within the ductwork to ensure uniform distribution across all outlets.
The acceptance criteria for this test are based on the design specifications of the HVAC system. Any deviations from these specifications must be documented and reported. If discrepancies are found, corrective actions can be recommended to bring the system into compliance with EN 13779-2.
Our testing service is highly sought after by quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement professionals due to its reliability and adherence to international standards. The results of this test are crucial for maintaining energy efficiency, ensuring occupant comfort, and meeting regulatory requirements.
