Air conditioners and liquid chilling packages with evaporatively cooled condenser and with electrically driven compressors for space cooling - Terms, definitions, test conditions, test methods and requirements
This document specifies the terms, definitions, test conditions, test methods and requirements for rating the performance of air conditioners and liquid chilling packages, with electrically driven compressors and with evaporatively cooled condenser when used for space cooling. The evaporatively cooled condenser is cooled by air and by the evaporation of external additional water. This additional external water is fed by a specific water supply circuit or by a water tank.
This document does not apply to air-to-air and air-to-water air conditioners with a condenser cooled by air and by the evaporation of water condensed on their evaporator.
This document applies to units equipped with a water tank or with a continuous water circuit supply that can also operate without water feeding. However, this document only concerns the testing of these units with water feeding.
This document applies to factory-made units which can be ducted.
This document applies to factory-made units of either fixed capacity or variable capacity by any means.
Packaged units, single split and multisplit systems are covered by this document.
With regard to units consisting of several parts, this document applies only to those designed and supplied as a complete package.
For evaporatively cooled condenser units that can also operate in heating mode, their performance in this mode is determined according to EN 14511 (all parts).
Installations used for industrial processes cooling are not within the scope of this document.
This document specifies the conditions for which performance data will be declared for compliance to the Ecodesign Regulation 206/2012 and to the Energy Labelling Regulation 626/2011 of air conditioners with evaporatively cooled condenser in cooling mode.

European foreword
This document (prEN 15218:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 113 “Heat
pumps and air conditioners”, the secretariat of which is held by UNE.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 15218:2013.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of
EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s), see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are
integral parts of this document.

1 Scope
This document specifies the terms, definitions, test conditions, test methods and requirements for rating
the performance of air conditioners and liquid chilling packages, with electrically driven compressors
and with evaporatively cooled condenser when used for space cooling. The evaporatively cooled
condenser is cooled by air and by the evaporation of external additional water. This additional external
water is fed by a specific water supply circuit or by a water tank.
This document does not apply to air-to-air and air-to-water air conditioners with a condenser cooled by
air and by the evaporation of water condensed on their evaporator.
This document applies to units equipped with a water tank or with a continuous water circuit supply that
can also operate without water feeding. However, this document only concerns the testing of these units
with water feeding.
This document applies to factory-made units which can be ducted.
This document applies to factory-made units of either fixed capacity or variable capacity by any means.
Packaged units, single split and multisplit systems are covered by this document.
With regard to units consisting of several parts, this document applies only to those designed and
supplied as a complete package.
For evaporatively cooled condenser units that can also operate in heating mode, their performance in this
mode is determined according to EN 14511 (all parts).
Installations used for industrial processes cooling are not within the scope of this document.
This document specifies the conditions for which performance data will be declared for compliance to
the Ecodesign Regulation 206/2012 and to the Energy Labelling Regulation 626/2011 of air conditioners
with evaporatively cooled condenser in cooling mode.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in prEN 14511-1:2021 and the
following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

3.1
evaporatively cooled condenser
heat exchanger that condenses refrigerant vapour by rejecting heat to a water and air mixture causing
the water to evaporate and increase the enthalpy of air
Note 1 to entry: Desuperheating and sub-cooling of the refrigerant may also occur.
3.2
water tank
tank designed as an integral part of the unit to contain external additional water which is fed to the
evaporatively cooled condenser
3.3
continuous supply water circuit
circuit designed as an integral part of the unit to feed continuously the evaporatively cooled condenser
with water from an external water source
3.4
effective power input
P
E
average electrical power input of the unit within a defined interval of time obtained from:
— power input for operating the compressor;
— power input for all control and safety devices of the unit;
— power input of the circulating pump which provides water to the evaporatively cooled condenser, if
any;
— proportional power input of the conveying devices (e.g. fans, pumps) for ensuring the transport of
the heat transfer media inside the unit, expressed in watt
Note 1 to entry: For the purposes of this document, the present definition replaces the one in prEN 14511-1:2021
and is used to calculate the EER and EER .

3.5
cleaning cycle
interval of time during which water is sprayed on the evaporatively cooled condenser in order to remove
fouling and scale buildup
3.6
functioning cycle

4 Classification
If the heat transfer medium for the indoor heat exchanger is water, the unit shall be denominated as
evaporatively cooled condenser liquid chilling package.
If the heat transfer medium for the indoor heat exchanger is air, the unit shall be denominated as
evaporatively cooled condenser air conditioner.

5.1 Environmental conditions and electrical power supply requirements
The tests shall be carried out under the environmental conditions specified in Table 1 or Table 2 based
on the location of the unit.
For all units, electrical power voltage and frequency shall be given by the manufacturer.

For example, window, double duct, split units.

When using the calorimeter room method, pressure equilibrium between indoor and outdoor compartments
shall be obtained by introducing into indoor compartment, air at the same rating temperature conditions.
c
The pressure difference between the two compartments of the calorimeter room shall not be greater than 1,25
Pa. This pressure equilibrium can be achieved by using an equalising device or by creating an open space area
in the separation partition wall, which dimensions shall be calculated for the maximum airflow of the unit to
be tested. If an open space is created in the partition wall, an air sampling device or several temperature
sensors shall be used to measure the temperature of the air from the outdoor compartment to the indoor
compartment
The external additional water supply on the evaporatively cooled condenser shall be set as specified in
6.2.2.
