HVAC systems

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC systems) are greatly popular, thanks in part to massive subsidy programs. The hygiene requirements of the coronavirus pandemic have further underlined the importance of HVAC systems, while increasing comfort expectations in private households are also contributing to their spread. This collection of documents offers the most important documents for the HVAC sector at a glance and is intended to be a useful aid for specialists in practice and teaching in everyday life. The documents cover a broad spectrum: They range from general requirements for the planning, construction and operation of HVAC systems to specifications for specific components.

DIN Taschenbuch 85 (in German only) has the following contents:

• Symbols and terms used in ventilation
• Ventilation in private households
• Ventilation of bathrooms without external windows
• HVAC systems in healthcare and laboratories
• Dimensions and characteristic values of components
• HEPA filters

Furthermore, the collection contains DIN 18379 “German construction contract procedures (VOB) — Part C: General technical specifications in construction contracts (ATV) — Installation of air conditioning systems”

A list of documents on the subject not included in this book is a useful addition for users.
 

Requirements and know-how for HVAC systems

Some of the documents contained in DIN-Taschenbuch 85 are extremely comprehensive and contain a wide range of important information on various topics. Therefore, changes to just a few documents can make a new edition necessary. This is the case for the 13th edition of “HVAC systems”. Updates in this edition include:

• DIN EN 13142 now included
  This standard on performance characteristics of components and products for residential ventilation has been included here for the first time. In addition to information on performance testing, it also provides information on other requirements and the classification of supply/exhaust air ventilation units.
   
• DIN 1946-7 has been revised
  Part 7 of the DIN 1946 series of standards is one of the basic standards for ventilation technology and contains data on HVAC systems in laboratories; it has been editorially revised and adapted in accordance with VDI guidelines.
   
• DIN 18017-3 has been revised
  Part 3 of DIN 18017 is a useful document on ventilation with fans, in which a new annex on the visualization of exhaust air volume flows has been added and value corrections have been made.

With these three updates, DIN-Taschenbuch 85 is once again an up-to-date collection of standards that is of great value in professional practice and training thanks to its effective compilation.
