EN 13771-1:2003 (E)84.1.2 Specific enthalpyThe value of the specific enthalpy is taken from recognised data of the thermodynamic properties of the refrigerantused. The determining parameters are: the pressure and the temperature at the compressor inlet and the pressure atthe compressor outlet. If operation with an oil separator is specified by the manufacturer, the pressure is measured atthe oil separator outlet.4.1.3 Refrigerant mass flowThe refrigerant mass flow is either measured directly or calculated from measured values.4.1.4 Power absorbedThe value for the power absorbed includes the power absorbed by such ancillaries that are necessary for operation ofthe compressor. Within a superheat range of ± 5 K it is assumed that the power consumption will stay constant.4.1.5 Basic equationsThe refrigerant mass flowqm determined by measurement is converted to the basic test conditions using the followingequation:aggammnnvvqq××=10(1)For motor compressors, the correction factorn/na is replaced byf/fa.The refrigerating capacity as defined in 3.1.1 for compressors is calculated using the following equation:)(2100lgmhhq-×=F(2)The power absorbed as defined in 3.1.3 is converted from the measured power absorbed to the basic test conditionsusing the following equation:aannPP×=0(3)For motor compressors, the correction factorn/na is replaced byf/fa.The volumetric efficiency hv as defined in 3.1.2 is calculated using the following equation:gaswmgggaswmvvVqvvvVq×=××=11h(4)NOTEWithin the limits specified in this European Standard, it is assumed that the volumetric efficiency is constant.The isentropic efficiency hi as defined in 3.1.5 is calculated using the following equation:010Phhqggtmi-=h(5)The coefficient of performanceCOPr as defined in 3.1.6 is calculated using the following equation:00PCOPrF=(6)SIST EN 13771-1:2004



EN 13771-1:2003 (E)94.2 Requirements for the selection of test methods4.2.1 GeneralGenerally two different test methods from those taken from clause 5 shall be used at the same time. The results of thetwo methods shall correlate within 4 %. The test result is the mean value of the two methods.4.2.2 Second concurrent testWhere testing devices are in constant use and are subject to periodical calibration in accordance with therecommended EN ISO 9001 a second concurrent test is not necessary.4.3 Test period4.3.1 GeneralThe tests described relate exclusively to those refrigerant compressors and test installations which permit continuousoperation and which can hold the fluctuations of all influencing factors within the specified limits for a certain time.These conditions are described as steady states and are defined precisely in 4.9.4.3.2 Steady state conditionsAfter the compressor has been started, adjustments shall be made during a preliminary run until the major readingsrequired for the test are within the allowable deviations.Steady state conditions shall be reached for at least 15 min before each test.4.3.3 Recording of measured dataOnce steady state has been reached, the measured data shall be registered on recording instruments. At least onecomplete measuring cycle shall be carried out every minute. The test period shall be at least 15 min and the averageshall be formed from all measured values.4.4 Pressure and temperature measuring pointsThe pressure and temperature measuring points for the compressor shall be mounted at the same place which islocated at a distance of at least 4 times the diameter of a straight pipe but not less than 150 mm from the shut-offvalves or connections to the compressor. The diameter of the pipe shall be consistent with that of the flange on thecompressor for a length of at least 8 times the pipe diameter.4.5 Oil circulationThe circulating quantity of oil is determined after the test.From the liquid phase of the refrigerant circuit the refrigerant/oil mixture is poured into a collecting device intended forthis specific purpose and the oil fraction is determined.For repeated testing of one compressor model, the oil circulation of which is known, random sampling is sufficient.Alternative procedures with the same accuracy may be used. The collecting device shall be constructed with dueregard to EN 378-2.4.6 FractionationThe composition of zeotropic refrigerants shall be analysed when a new batch sample is delivered.When leaks are found the composition of the refrigerant charge shall be adjusted in order to ensure that therefrigerant is in accordance with the correct specification or the charge shall be replaced and the test repeated.SIST EN 13771-1:2004



EN 13771-1:2003 (E)10NOTEZeotropic refrigerants have a certain composition in the as-specified condition. Changes in pressure andtemperature can cause a change in the concentration of the different components in the circulating refrigerant. This can beexacerbated by unfavourable distribution of the refrigerant in the circuit, leakage from the system and selective oil solubility. Thethermodynamic properties will also change with resulting inaccuracies in the determination of performance data.4.7 Calibration and requirements regarding accuracy4.7.1 Calibration of calorimeters for methods A, B and C4.7.1.1 Calorimeters for methods A, B and C shall be calibrated by determining a heat leakage factor)(axittF-=F(7)which describes the heat exchange between the calorimeter and the ambient.4.7.1.2 The reference temperaturex depends on the calorimeter type which determines the heat flux to theambient. It can be:a) the saturation temperaturets of the secondary fluid (e.g. method A);b) the mean surface temperaturetc of the calorimeter (e.g. method B);c) the average refrigerant bubble point temperaturetr of a calorimeter (e.g. method C).4.7.1.3 The following method shall be used to determine the heat leakage factor:Before starting the test maintain the ambient temperatureta constant and supply a heat flow Fi to maintain thereference temperaturetx approximately 15 K above the ambient temperature. After thermal equilibrium has beenestablished, take readings at intervals of 1 h. Thermal equilibrium is reached, when four successive readings fulfill thefollowing conditions:a) the ambient temperatureta does not vary by more than ± 1 K;b) the reference temperaturetx does not vary by more than ± 0,5 K;c) if an intermittently operated electrical heater or a heating by means of liquid is used, the readings of heat inputdo not vary by more than ± 5 %. Where liquid is used for heating, the mass flowqmf shall be controlled so thatthe temperature drop is not less than 5 K.The heat flow to the calorimeter is given by the following:a) for heating by means of liquid flow: Fi =c (t1 - t2)qmf;b) for electric heating: the heat flow Fi is equal to the electrical power input of the heater Fn.4.7.2 Determination of the refrigerating capacityMeasuring instruments shall be selected and calibrated so that the final refrigerating capacity is within a limit of± 2,5 %.4.7.3 Determination of the power absorbed by the compressorMeasuring instruments shall be selected and calibrated so that the final power absorbed is within a limit of ± 1 % formotor compressors taken at the motor terminals, and ± 2,5 % for open compressors.4.7.4 Measuring instrumentsMeasuring instruments and the uncertainties of measurement required are listed in annex A.SIST EN
