Overview
EN 13771-1:2016 is the CEN European standard that defines performance testing and test methods for refrigerant compressors. It specifies how to determine key performance metrics - refrigerating capacity, power absorbed, refrigerant mass flow, isentropic efficiency and coefficient of performance (COP) - using standardized laboratory test procedures. The standard applies where suitable test equipment is available and supersedes EN 13771-1:2003.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and purpose: Standardized test methods to produce accurate, repeatable compressor performance data for refrigeration and heat pump applications.
- Measured performance parameters: Refrigerating capacity, power absorbed, refrigerant mass flow, isentropic efficiency, COP.
- Uncertainty and test conditions: Clause on uncertainty of measurement and defined test conditions to ensure comparability of results.
- Test methods: Includes calorimetric and flow-meter based approaches:
- Method A–C: Calorimetric methods (secondary fluid, dry-system refrigerant calorimeter, water-cooled condenser/gas cooler).
- Method D–E: Refrigerant gas flow meters and liquid-line flow measurement.
- Calibration and measurement practice: Requirements for calibration of calorimeters, heat leakage compensation, reference temperatures, and accurate refrigerant property data.
- Power measurement: Procedures for measuring absorbed power for both externally driven and motor compressors.
- Additional technical requirements: Oil circulation, fractionation checks, test period and steady-state criteria, recording of measured data, and required test-report content.
- Expanded coverage: Adds provisions for two-stage/economized compressors, transcritical cycles, inverter-driven compressors, cyclic capacity control and part-load conditions (mandate M/488).
Applications
- Product performance verification and R&D for compressor manufacturers.
- Independent test laboratories performing type testing, certification and comparative performance evaluation.
- HVACR system designers and specifiers using reliable compressor data to size equipment and predict system COP.
- Regulatory bodies and conformity assessment organizations requiring standardized, traceable test data.
- Research organizations studying compressor performance across refrigerants and operating conditions.
Who should use this standard
- Compressor and condensing unit manufacturers
- Accredited testing laboratories
- HVAC/R engineers, system integrators and consultants
- Certification bodies and compliance engineers
- R&D teams developing new refrigerants or compressor technologies
