Non-ducted air conditioners and heat pumps — Testing and rating for performance

ISO 5151:2017 specifies performance testing, the standard conditions and the test methods for determining the capacity and efficiency ratings of air-cooled air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps. ISO 5151:2017 is applicable to the following equipment: - non-ducted air-cooled air conditioners and non-ducted air-to-air heat pumps; or - ducted air conditioners and/or ducted heat pumps rated at less than 8 kW and intended to operate at an external static pressure of less than 25 Pa. ISO 5151:2017 is limited to: - residential, commercial and industrial single-package and split-system air conditioners and heat pumps; - factory-made, electrically driven and use mechanical compression; - utilizing single, multiple and variable capacity components; - multiple split-system utilizing one or more refrigeration systems, one outdoor unit and one or more indoor units, controlled by a single thermostat/controller. The requirements of testing and rating contained in this document are based on the use of matched assemblies. ISO 5151:2017 is not applicable to the rating and testing of the following: a) water-source heat pumps or water cooled air conditioners; b) multi-split-system air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps (follow ISO 15042 for the testing of such equipment); c) mobile (windowless) units having a condenser exhaust duct; d) individual assemblies not constituting a complete refrigeration system; e) equipment using the absorption refrigeration cycle; f) ducted equipment except for those specified in this clause (follow ISO 13253 for the testing of such equipment). ISO 5151:2017 does not cover the determination of seasonal efficiencies, which can be required in some countries because they provide a better indication of efficiency under actual operating conditions. NOTE Throughout this document, the terms "equipment" and "systems" mean "air conditioners" and/or "heat pumps".

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

determining the capacity and efficiency ratings of air-cooled air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps.
This document is applicable to the following equipment:
— non-ducted air-cooled air conditioners and non-ducted air-to-air heat pumps; or
— ducted air conditioners and/or ducted heat pumps rated at less than 8 kW and intended to operate
at an external static pressure of less than 25 Pa.
This document is limited to:
— residential, commercial and industrial single-package and split-system air conditioners and
heat pumps;
— factory-made, electrically driven and use mechanical compression;
— utilizing single, multiple and variable capacity components;
— multiple split-system utilizing one or more refrigeration systems, one outdoor unit and one or more
indoor units, controlled by a single thermostat/controller.
The requirements of testing and rating contained in this document are based on the use of matched
assemblies.
This document is not applicable to the rating and testing of the following:
a) water-source heat pumps or water cooled air conditioners;
b) multi-split-system air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps (follow ISO 15042 for the testing of
such equipment);
c) mobile (windowless) units having a condenser exhaust duct;
d) individual assemblies not constituting a complete refrigeration system;
e) equipment using the absorption refrigeration cycle;
f) ducted equipment except for those specified in this clause (follow ISO 13253 for the testing of such
equipment).
This document does not cover the determination of seasonal efficiencies, which can be required in some
countries because they provide a better indication of efficiency under actual operating conditions.
NOTE Throughout this document, the terms “equipment” and “systems” mean “air conditioners” and/or
“heat pumps”.
