TEST PARAMETERS - NSHEVS (EN 12101-2)

Coefficient of discharge
Aa data

Test to define the aerodynamic free area, to ensure that the NSHEV will
perform efficiently.

Reliability classification
RE class (Re 50, 1000)

How many times the NSHEV can be opened in its smoke and heat exhaust
mode.Test to ensure that the ventilator will be reliable.

Snow load
SL class (SL 0, 125, 250, 500, 1000 N/m2)

Maximum snow load class under which the NSHEV will open. Test to ensure
that NSHEV will open and stay open under load.

Low ambient temperature classification

T class (T -25, -15, -05, 00C)

Down to what low internal ambient temperature it is possible to operate the

the NSHEV.

Wind load
WL class (WL 0, 1500, 3000 N/m2)

Maximum wind load class for the NSHEV. Test to ensure that when closed
the NSHEV can withstand the negative (suction) pressure of the class.

Resistance to heat
B class (B 300, 600 C)

Up to what temperature the NSHEV can be opened and made to stay open.

Dual purpose ventilator

Test to ensure that the NSHEV will perform reliably for day-to-day ventilation
(10,000 cycles).

TEST PARAMETERS - PSHEVS (EN 12101-3)

Snow load
SL class (SL 0, 125, 250, 500, 1000 N/m2)

Maximum snow load class under which the PSHEV will open. Test to ensure that PSHEV
will open and stay open under load.

Wind load classification

WL class (WL 200 N/m2)

The PSHEV must fully open in max. 30 sec. against a load of 200 Pa (N/m2). Test to ensure that
the PSHEV can open against the negative (suction) pressure of the class.

Reliability classification

If PSHEV is dual purpose then it must open and close 10,000 times. Test to ensure that the
ventilator will be reliable. All Liberators are classed as dual purpose.

Opening time of the unit

B class (B 300, 600C)

The PSHEV must be open in max. 30 sec in the end position. Test to ensure quick reaction time.

Time/temperature classification
F class

The PSHEV must be able to operate at the selected temperature for the stated period.
