European foreword
This document (EN 17432:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 44 “Commercial
and Professional Refrigerating Appliances and Systems, Performance and Energy Consumption”, the
secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2022, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by March 2022.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the

Introduction
This document was developed in order to provide a suitable method of performance testing of packaged
refrigerating units for stationary cold room applications.
This is the first edition of this document. It includes testing only in so-called “dry conditions”. That means,
the evaporator does not show any ice formation during the test. Although it is well-known, that such
conditions do not represent the typical situation in the practical use of the packaged refrigerating units,
this edition of the document focusses on the description of a test procedure providing reliable test results,
which can be used to compare the performance of different models/types of packaged refrigerating unit.
In order to keep the test procedure in this document practically oriented, tests under so-called “wet
conditions” as well as taking defrost periods into account will be a future Work Item of the responsible
working group. The aim is to integrate such tests in a later revision of this document.
This document reflects the current market situation which shows that only refrigerating units without
integrated pump for the heat transfer medium on the exterior heat exchanger are offered.
1 Scope

3.1
packaged refrigerating unit
functional unit incorporating a complete factory-made refrigerating system, mounted in a suitable frame
and/or enclosure, that is fabricated and transported complete, or in two or more sections and in which
no refrigerant-containing parts are connected on site other than by isolation valves, such as companion
valves, and by interconnecting piping as defined by the manufacturer
Note 1 to entry: A packaged refrigerating unit incorporates at least one refrigerant circuit, and can incorporate
one or more heat transfer circuits.
Note 2 to entry: The terms “factory-made” and “refrigerating system” are defined in EN 378-1.
3.2
compact unit
packaged refrigerating unit, that has been assembled, filled ready for use, and is installed without the
need for connecting any refrigerant-containing parts
3.3
split unit
packaged refrigerating unit, comprising one unit providing cooling to the cold room and one unit used
for condensing the refrigerant
3.4
factory made
manufactured at a dedicated production location under control of a recognized quality system
Note 1 to entry: Assembling in this context means manufacturing.
[SOURCE: EN 378-1:2016, 3.8.5, modified — The present Note 1 to entry was added.]
3.5
interior heat exchanger
heat exchanger in which liquid refrigerant is vaporized by absorbing heat from the interior heat transfer
medium
Note 1 to entry: For the applications regarded here, the interior heat exchanger is usually called “evaporator”.
3.6
exterior heat exchanger
heat exchanger in which the refrigerant is cooled down due to heat dissipation by the exterior heat
transfer medium
Note 1 to entry: For the applications regarded here, the exterior heat exchanger is usually called “condenser”.
3.7
heat transfer medium
medium (water, air, etc.) which transfers heat without undergoing phase changes
3.8
dry bulb temperature
temperature of air measured by a thermometer exposed to the air but shielded from radiation and
moisture
3.9
