The air flow through the room shall not be capable of initiating any short circuitbetween these two orifices, and therefore the velocity of the air flows through the room at these two locations shallnot exceed 1,5 m/s when the test object is switched off. The air velocity in the room shall also not be greater thanthe mean velocity through the unit inlet. Unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer, the air inlet or air outletorifices 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 pointsshall be avoided.4.2.1.3 Appliances with duct connectionDucted air systems shall be sufficiently air tight to ensure that the measured results are not significantly influencedby exchange of air with the surroundings.4.2.1.4 Appliances with integral pumpsFor appliances with integral and adjustable water or brine pumps, the external static pressure will be set at thesame time as the temperature difference.4.2.1.5 Liquid chilling package for use with remote condenserUnits for use with remote condenser are tested by using a water-cooled condenser, the characteristics ofwhich shall enable the intended operating conditions to be achieved.SIST EN 14511-3:2004

The installation of the unit shall be such that any bend of thedischarge duct is avoided.For multisplit systems, the test shall be performed with the system operating at a capacity ratio of 1, or as close aspossible.When performing measures in heating mode, set the highest room temperature on the unit/system controldevice; when performing measures in cooling mode, set the lowest room temperature on the unit/systemcontrol device.For unit with open-type compressor the electric motor shall be supplied or specified by the manufacturer. Thecompressor shall be operated at the rotational speed specified by the manufacturer.For inverter type control units, if the manufacturer gives instructions for the setting of the frequency for eachrating condition, this setting shall be done.NOTETo set up a multisplit system which incorporates an inverter-controlled compressor, skilled personnel with aknowledge of control software will be required. The manufacturer or his nominated agent should be in attendance whenthe system is being installed and prepared for tests.4.2.2.2 Installation of unit consisting of several partsIn the case of a unit consisting of several parts, the following installation conditions shall be complied with for thetest.a) The refrigerant lines shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer instructions with a minimumlength of 5 m and a greater length to a maximum of 7,5 m if the constraints of the test installation make5 m not possible.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 outsideconditions, with the rest of the lines exposed to the inside conditions.4.2.2.3 Indoor units of multisplit systemsWhen 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 sameexternal static pressure.In case of equipment with non ducted ind
