EN 16583 Heat Exchangers - Hydronic Room Fan Coil Units - Determination of Sound Power Level

This European Standard applies to hydronic fan coil units (FCU) as factory-made stand-alone assemblies that provide cooling or heating functions but do not include the cooling or heating source.

The standard covers both airless distribution and air ducted units with a maximum external static pressure due to a maximum duct resistance of 120 Pa.

This European Standard provides methods for determining the acoustic performance of fan coil units, defining standard operating conditions and installation. It is not the purpose of this standard to specify tests used for production or field testing.

In general terms, heat exchangers; It can be defined as equipment in which the temperatures of two different fluids are transferred to each other without any external energy. This equipment is used in all chemical industry and sub-sectors, for heating and cooling processes in production. There are two types of heat exchanger systems, plate and tube.

Tubular Heat Exchanger is the equipment that consists of pipe blocks that have a protection outside. heat exchanger; It is a general expression and has different terminologies depending on where it is used.

Where heat exchangers are used:

• Natural Gas Boilers;
• air conditioners;
• refrigerators;
• automobile radiators;
• Air Curtains, Economizer Thermal Power Plants;
• Regenerator in Gas Turbines;
• Petro-Chemical Industry, Refineries;
