5 Installation requirements
5.1 Test apparatus and uncertainties of measurement
The test apparatus shall be designed in such a way that all requirements for adjustment of set values,
stability criteria and uncertainties of measurement according to this document are fulfilled.
Water systems or other heat transfer liquid systems shall be sufficiently free of entrained gas as to
ensure that the measured results are not significantly influenced.
2 © ISO 2019 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO 19967-2:2019(E)

The inlet and outlet water temperatures of the heat pump are measured in the centre of the flow and
as close as possible to the unit. The response time of the temperature sensor and the sampling interval
shall be chosen to maintain the uncertainties in Table 1.
Ducted air systems shall be sufficiently airtight to ensure that the measured results are not significantly
influenced by exchange of air with the surroundings.
When performing measurements, set the highest room temperature on the unit/system control device.
If in the instructions, the manufacturer indicates a value for the temperature set on the control device
for a given rating condition, then this value shall be used.
Temperature and pressure measuring points shall be arranged in order to obtain mean significant values.
For free air intake temperature measurements, it is required either:
— to have at least one sensor per square meter, with not less than four measuring points and by
restricting to 20 the number of sensors equally distributed on the free air surface; or
— to use a sampling device. It shall be completed by four sensors for checking uniformity if the surface
2
area is greater than 1 m .
Air temperature sensors shall be placed at a maximum distance of 0,25 m from the free air surface.
For units consisting of a heat pump and a storage tank as a factory made unit, water inlet and outlet
temperature measurements shall be taken at the inlet and outlet of this unit.
For water and brine, the density and specific heat in Formulae (1), (2) and (3) shall be determined in the
temperature conditions measured near the volume flow measuring device.
For inverter type control units, the setting of the frequency shall be done for each rating condition.
The manufacturer shall provide in the documentation information instructions on how to obtain the
necessary data to set the required frequencies. If skilled personnel with knowledge of control software
is required for the start of the system, the manufacturer or the nominated agent should be in attendance
when the system is being installed and prepared for tests.
The uncertainties of measurement shall not exceed the values specified in Table 1. Additionally, the
heat capacity measured on the liquid side shall be determined within a maximum uncertainty of 5 %
independently of the individual uncertainties of measurements including the uncertainties on the
properties of the fluid.

5.2 Test room for the airside and remote condenser
The size of the test room shall be selected to avoid any resistance to air flow at the air inlet and air
outlet orifices of the test object. The air flow through the room shall not be capable of initiating any
short circuit between the two orifices, and therefore the velocity of air flow at these two locations shall
not exceed 1,5 m/s when the test object is switched off.
Unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer, the air inlet and air outlet orifices shall not be less than
1 m from the surfaces of the test room.
Any direct heat radiation (e.g. solar radiation) onto heating units in the test room onto the heat pump or
onto the temperature measuring points shall be avoided.
5.3 Installation and connection of the heat pump
The heat pump shall be installed and connected for the test as recommended by the manufacturer in the
installation and operation manual. If a back-up heater is provided in option or not, it shall be switched
off or disconnected to be excluded from the testing. Temperature and pressure measuring points shall
be arranged in order to obtain representative mean values.
5.4 Installation of heat pumps consisting of several parts
In the case of heat pumps consisting of several refrigeration parts (split heat pumps), the following
installation conditions shall be complied with for the tests:
a) each refrigerant line shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions; the
length of each line shall be between 5 m and 7,5 m;
b) the lines shall be installed so that the difference in elevation does not exceed 2,5 m;
c) thermal insulation shall be applied to the lines in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions;
d) unless constrained by the design, at least half of the interconnecting lines shall be exposed to the
outdoor conditions with the rest of the lines exposed to the indoor conditions.
6 Setting and test conditions
6.1 General
Set points for internal control equipment of the unit, i.e. thermostats, pressure switches or mixing
valves, shall be set to the values as stated in the installation and operating instructions.
If several set points or a range are stated, the manufacturer shall indicate the one to be used for the tests.
6.2 Settings for non-ducted units
For non-ducted units, the adjustable settings, i.e. louvers and fan speed, shall be set according to the
installations and operating instructions.
4 © ISO 2019 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO 19967-2:2019(E)

Without information from the manufacturer, louvers and fan speed shall be set for maximum air flow rate.
6.3 Setting the external static pressure difference for ducted units
The volume flow and the pressure difference shall be related to standard air and with dry heat
exchanger. If the air flow rate is given by the manufacturer with no atmospheric pressure, temperature
and humidity conditions, it shall be considered as given for standard air conditions.
The air flow rate as stated in the installation and operating instructions shall be converted into
standard air conditions. The air flow rate setting shall be made when the fan only is operating.
The rated air flow rate as stated in the installation and operating instructions shall be set and the
resulting external static pressure (ESP) measured.
If the ESP is lower than 30 Pa, the air flow rate is decreased to reach this minimum value. The apparatus
used for setting the ESP shall be maintained in the same position during all the tests.
If the installation and operating instructions state that the maximum allowable duct length is for inlet
and outlet together less than 2 m, then the unit shall be tested with the duct length and the ESP is
considered to be 0.
6.4 Setting of units with integral pumps
For units with integral water or brine pumps, the external static pressure shall be set at the same time
as the temperature difference.
When the liquid pump has one or several fixed speeds, the speed of the pump shall be set in order to
provide the minimum external static pressure.
In case of variable speed liquid pump, the manufacturer shall provide information to set the pump in
order to reach a maximal external static pressure of 10 kPa.
Deviations from set values shall not exceed values indicated in Table 2. Variations from specified
conditions shall not exceed values indicated in Table 3.

For steady state operation, the heating capacity shall be determined using the following formula:
Pq=×ρ××CtΔ (1)
