The fraction which is to be excluded from the total power absorbed by the unit shall be calculated using the following formula: ηepq∆× (6) where η is the efficiency of the pump calculated according to Annex H; ∆pe is the measured available external static pressure difference, expressed in Pascal, as defined in 2.52 of EN 14511-1:2011; q is the nominal liquid flow rate, expressed in cubic meters per second. 4.1.6.4 If no liquid pump is provided with the unit, the proportional power input which is to be included in the effective power absorbed by the unit, shall be calculated using the following formula: η)(ipq∆−× (7) where η is the efficiency of the pump calculated according to Annex H; ∆pi is the measured internal static pressure difference, expressed in pascal, as defined in 2.53 of EN 14511-1:2011; q is the nominal liquid flow rate, expressed in cubic meters per second. 4.1.6.5 In the case of appliances designed especially to operate on a distributing network of pressurised water without water-pump, no correction is to be applied to the power input. SIST EN 14511-3:2012



EN 14511-3:2011 (E) 8 4.1.7 Units for use with remote condenser The power from the auxiliary liquid pump of the remote condenser shall not be taken into account in the effective power input. 4.2 Test apparatus 4.2.1 Arrangement of the test apparatus 4.2.1.1 General requirements The test apparatus shall be designed in such a way that all requirements on adjustment of set values, stability criteria and uncertainties of measurement according to this European Standard can be fulfilled. 4.2.1.2 Test room for the air side The size of the test room shall be selected such that any resistance to air flow at the air inlet and air outlet orifices of the test object is avoided. The air flow through the room shall not be capable of initiating any short circuit between these two orifices, and therefore the velocity of the air flows through the room at these two locations shall not exceed 1,5 m/s when the test object is switched off. The air velocity in the room shall also not be greater than the mean velocity through the unit inlet. Unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer, the air inlet or air outlet orifices shall be not less than 1 m distant from the surfaces of the test room. Any direct heat radiation by heating units in the test room onto the unit or onto the temperature measuring points shall be avoided. 4.2.1.3 Appliances with duct connection The connections of a ducted air unit to the test facility shall be sufficiently air tight to ensure that the measured results are not significantly influenced by exchange of air with the surroundings. 4.2.1.4 Appliances with integral pumps For appliances with integral and adjustable water or brine pumps, the external static pressure shall be set at the same time as the temperature difference. 4.2.1.5 Liquid chilling package for use with remote condenser Units for use with remote condenser are tested by using a water-cooled condenser, the characteristics of which shall enable the intended operating conditions to be achieved. 4.2.2 Installation and connection of the test object 4.2.2.1 General The test object shall be installed and connected for the test as recommended by the manufacturer in the installation and operation manual. The accessories provided by option are not included in the test. If a back-up heater is provided in option or not, it shall be switched off or disconnected to be excluded from the testing.
For single ducts, regardless of the manufacturer’s instructions, the discharge duct shall be as short and straight as possible compatibly with minimum distance between the unit and the wall for correct air inlet but not less than 50 cm. No accessory shall be connected to the discharge end of the duct.
For double duct units, the same requirements apply to both suction and discharge ducts, unless the appliance is designed to be installed directly on the wall. For multisplit systems, the test shall be performed with the system operating at a capacity ratio of 1, or as close as possible. SIST EN 14511-3:2012



EN 14511-3:2011 (E) 9 When the liquid pump is an integral part of the unit and the external static pressure setting possible, the setting shall be made in order to reduce this external pressure to approach zero. When performing measures in heating mode, set the highest room temperature on the unit/system control device; when performing measures in cooling mode, set the lowest 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. For unit with open-type compressor the electric motor shall be supplied or specified by the manufacturer. The compressor shall be operated at the rotational speed specified by the manufacturer. 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 about how to obtain the necessary data to set the required frequencies. NOTE If a 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. 4.2.2.2 Installation of unit consisting of several parts In the case of a unit consisting of several parts, the following installation conditions shall be complied for the test. a) The refrigerant lines shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The length of the lines shall be 5 m except if the constraints of the test installation make 5 m not possible, in which case a greater length may be used, with a maximum of 7,5 m.
b) The lines shall be installed so that the difference in elevation does not exceed 2,5 m. c) The thermal insulation of the lines shall be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. d) Unless constrained by the design, at least half of the connecting lines shall be exposed to the outside conditions, with the rest of the lines exposed to the inside conditions. 4.2.2.3 Indoor units of multisplit systems
When testing a multisplit system in a calorimeter room, the air flow rate and the external static pressure shall be adjusted separately for each one of the ducted indoor units. When testing a multisplit system using the air enthalpy method, the air flow rate and the external static pressure shall be adjusted separately for each indoor unit, ducted or not. In case of equipment with non ducted indoor units tested using the air enthalpy method, the above requirement on ducted indoor units shall apply. 4.2.2.4 Measuring points 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 area is greater than 1 m². Air temperature sensors shall be placed at a maximum distance of 0,25 m from the free air surface. SIST EN 14511-3:2012



EN 14511-3:2011 (E) 10 For control cabinet air conditioners, the inlet temperature at the evaporator is measured instead of the temperature inside the control cabinet. 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 the tank respectively. For water and brine, the density in formulae (1), (2) and (3) shall be determined in the temperature conditions measured near the volume flow measuring device. 4.3 Uncertainties of measurement The uncertainties of measurement shall not exceed the values specified in Table 1. Table 1 — Uncertainties of measurement for indicated values Measured quantity Unit Uncertainty of measurement Liquid
- temperature difference K ± 0,15 K - temperature inlet/outlet K ± 0,15 K - volume flow m3/s ± 1 % - static pressure difference kPa ± 5 % Air
- dry bulb temperature °C ± 0,2 K - wet bulb temperature °C ± 0,4K - volume flow m3/s ± 5 % - static pressure difference Pa ± 5 Pa (∆p ≤ 100 Pa) or ± 5 %(∆p > 100 Pa) Refrigerant

The heating or cooling capacities measured on the liquid side shall be determined within a maximum uncertainty of 5 % independent of the individual uncertainties of measurement including the uncertainties on the properties of fluids. The steady state heating or cooling capacities determined using the calorimeter method shall be determined with a maximum uncertainty of 5 %, independent of the individual uncertainties of measurement including the uncertainties on the properties of fluids; this maximum uncertainty is extended to 10% for single duct units due to the air exchange between the two compartments of the calorimeter room. SIST EN 14511-3:2012



EN 14511-3:2011 (E) 11 Heating capacity determined during transient operation (defrost cycles) using the calorimeter method shall be determined with a maximum uncertainty of 10 %, independent of the individual uncertainties of measurement including the uncertainties on the properties of fluids. The heating and cooling capacities measured on the air side using the air enthalpy method shall be determined with a maximum uncertainty of 10 %, independent of the individual uncertainties of measurement including the uncertainties on the properties of fluids. 4.4 Test procedure 4.4.1 General 4.4.1.1 All units The test conditions are given in EN 14511-2:2011. If liquid heat transfer media other than water are used, the specific heat capacity and density of such heat transfer media shall be determined and taken into consideration in the evaluation. Table 4 states permissible deviations of the measured values from the test conditions. 4.4.1.2 Non ducted units For non-ducted units, the adjustable settings such as louvers and fan speed shall be set for maximum steady-state air flow. For inverter type control units, if the manufacturer indicates a speed of the fan different from the maximum one to set on the control device for a given rating condition, then this speed shall be used. 4.4.1.3 Units ducted on the indoor heat exchanger The volume flow and the pressure difference shall be related to standard air and with dry heat exchanger. If the airflow 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 airflow rate given by the manufacturer shall be converted into standard air conditions. The setting of this airflow rate shall be made when the fan only is operating. The rated air flow rate given by the manufacturer shall be set and the resulting external static pressure (ESP) measured. If the ESP is lower than the minimum value given in Table 2 (or Table 3), the air flow rate is decreased to reach this minimum value. If the ESP is greater than twice the minimum value given in Table 2 (or Table 3), the air low rate is increased to reach twice this minimum value. If the ESP is greater than the minimum value given in Table 2 (or Table 3) but not greater than twice this minimum value, then keep this ESP. The apparatus used for setting the ESP shall be maintained in the same position during all the tests. SIST EN 14511-3:2012

The size of the test room shall be selected such that any resistance to air flow at the air inlet and air outlet orifices
of the test object is avoided. The air flow through the room shall not be capable of initiating any short circuit
between these two orifices, and therefore the velocity of the air flows through the room at these two locations shall
not exceed 1,5 m/s when the test object is switched off. The air velocity in the room shall also not be greater than
the mean velocity through the unit inlet. Unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer, the air inlet or air outlet
orifices shall be not less than 1 m distant from the surfaces of the test room.
Any direct heat radiation by heating units in the test room onto the unit or onto the temperature measuring points
shall be avoided.
4.2.1.3 Appliances with duct connection
The connections of a ducted air unit to the test facility shall be sufficiently air tight to ensure that the measured
results are not significantly influenced by exchange of air with the surroundings.
4.2.1.4 Appliances with integral pumps
For appliances with integral and adjustable water or brine pumps, the external static pressure shall be set at
the same time as the temperature difference.
4.2.1.5 Liquid chilling package for use with remote condenser
Units for use with remote condenser are tested by using a water-cooled condenser, the characteristics of

4.2.2 Installation and connection of the test object
4.2.2.1 General
The test object shall be installed and connected for the test as recommended by the manufacturer in his
installation and operation manual. The accessories provided by option (for example heating element) are not
included in the test.
For single ducts, regardless of the manufacturer’s instructions, the discharge duct shall be as short and
straight as possible compatibly with minimum distance between the unit and the wall for correct air inlet but
not less than 50 cm. No accessory shall be connected to the discharge end of the duct.
For double duct units, the same requirements apply to both suction and discharge ducts, unless the appliance
is designed to be installed directly on the wall.
For multisplit systems, the test shall be performed with the system operating at a capacity ratio of 1, or as close as
possible.
When performing measures in heating mode, set the highest room temperature on the unit/system control
device; when performing measures in cooling mode, set the lowest room temperature on the unit/system
control device. If in his 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.
For unit with open-type compressor the electric motor shall be supplied or specified by the manufacturer. The
compressor shall be operated at the rotational speed specified by the manufacturer.
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 about how to obtain the necessary data to set the
required frequencies.

NOTE To set up a multisplit system which incorporates an inverter-controlled compressor, skilled personnel with a
knowledge of control software may be required. The manufacturer or his nominated agent should be in attendance when
the system is being installed and prepared for tests.
4.2.2.2 Installation of unit consisting of several parts
In the case of a unit consisting of several parts, the following installation conditions shall be complied with for the
test.
a) The refrigerant lines shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The length of
the lines shall be 5 m except if the constraints of the test installation make 5 m not possible, in which case
a greater length may be used, with a maximum of 7,5 m.
b) The lines shall be installed so that the difference in elevation does not exceed 2,5 m.
c) The thermal insulation of the lines shall be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
d) Unless constrained by the design, at least half of the connecting lines shall be exposed to the outside
conditions, with the rest of the lines exposed to the inside conditions.
4.2.2.3 Indoor units of multisplit systems
When testing a multisplit system, indoor units shall be either all non ducted or all ducted.
If they are ducted, all indoor units shall be of the same model, i.e. having the same airflow rate and the same
external static pressure.
In case of equipment with non ducted indoor units tested using the air enthalpy method, the above
requirement on ducted indoor units shall apply.
4.2.2.4 Measurements
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 and not less than four measuring points equally
distributed on the air surface;
 or to use a sampling device. It shall be completed by four sensors for checking uniformity if the surface
area is greater than 1 m².
For control cabinet air conditioners, the inlet temperature at the evaporator is measured instead of the
temperature inside the control cabinet.
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 the tank respectively.

The test conditions are given in prEN 14511-2:2009.
If liquid heat transfer media other than water are used, the specific heat capacity and density of such heat transfer
media shall be determined and taken into consideration in the evaluation.
Table 4 states permissible deviations of the measured values from the test conditions.
4.4.1.2 Non ducted units
For non ducted units, the adjustable settings such as louvers and fan speed shall be set for maximum steady-
state air flow.
For inverter type control units, if the manufacturer indicates a speed of the fan different from the maximum one

4.4.1.3 Ducted indoor units
The volume flow and the pressure difference shall be related to standard air and with dry evaporator.
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 given by the manufacturer shall be converted into standard air conditions. The air flow rate
setting shall be made when the fan only is operating, at standard air conditions.
The rated airflow rate given by the manufacturer shall be set and the resulting external static pressure (ESP)
measured.
If the ESP is lower than the minimum value given in Table 2 (or Table 3), the air flow rate is decreased to
reach this minimum value.
If the ESP is greater than twice the minimum value given in Table 2 (or Table 3), the air low rate is increased
to reach twice this minimum value.
If the ESP is greater than the minimum value given in Table 2 (or Table 3) but not greater than twice this
minimum value, then keep this ESP.
The obtained settings of the air flow rate and ESP of the unit shall be maintained during all the tests.
4.4.1.4 Ducted outdoor 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 given by the manufacturer shall be converted into standard air conditions. The air flow rate
setting shall be made when the fan only is operating, at standard air conditions.
The rated airflow rate given by the manufacturer shall be set and the resulting external static pressure (ESP)
measured.
