Thermal

Standard covers recommended information for an objective evaluation of emerging energy storage technology by a potential user of any stationary application. Storage technologies are those that provide a means for the reversible storage of electrical energy (i.e., device receives electrical energy and can discharge electrical energy later). The storage medium may be electrochemical (e.g., batteries), kinetic (e.g., flywheels), electrostatic (e.g., electric double-layer capacitors [EDLCs]), thermal or other medium.

The USEHC established minimum requirements and standards for the protection of public health, safety and welfare for application to the erection, installation, alteration, repair, relocation, replacement, addition to, use or maintenance of solar energy systems, including but not limited to equipment and appliances intended to utilize solar energy for space heating or cooling; water heating; swimming pool heating or process heating; and solar PV systems. The code includes systems where equipment and components collect, convey, store and convert the sun’s energy for a purpose, including but not limited to service water, pool water and space heating and cooling as well as electrical service.

In June 2015, the ASME Council on Standards and Certification approved the creation of a new Standards Committee on Safety Standards for Thermal Energy Storage Systems (TES).

This Part of this European Standard applies to all water-tube boilers as defined in EN 12952-1 which are heated by combustion of one or more fuels or by hot gases for the generation of steam and/or hot water.
This Part of this European Standard applies to those components between the feedwater inlet and the steam outlet of the steam generator. The quality of the steam produced is outside the scope of this standard.
