Air conditioners, liquid chilling packages, heat pumps, process chillers and dehumidifiers with electrically driven compressors - Determination of the sound power level - Part 1: Air conditioners, liquid chilling packages, heat pumps for space heating and cooling, dehumidifiers and process chillers
This European Standard establishes requirements for determining, in accordance with a standardized procedure, the sound power level emitted into the surrounding air by air conditioners, heat pumps, liquid chilling packages with electrically driven compressors when used for space heating and/or cooling, and/or for process, as described in the EN 14511 series and dehumidifiers as described in EN 810.
This European Standard also covers the measurement of the sound power level of evaporatively cooled condenser air conditioners, as defined in EN 15218. However, the measurement will be done without external water feeding and these units will thus be considered as the other air conditioners covered by the EN 14511 series.
It is emphasized that this measurement standard only refers to airborne noise.

Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen fest, nach denen der von Luftkonditionierern, Wärmepumpen und Flüssigkeitskühlsätzen mit elektrisch angetriebenen Verdichtern zur Raumbeheizung und/oder kühlung und/oder Prozesskühlern nach der Normenreihe prEN 14511 und Entfeuchtern nach EN 810, an die umgebende Luft abgegebene Schallleistungspegel nach einem genormten Verfahren ermittelt wird.
Dieses Dokument behandelt auch die Messung des Schallleistungspegels von Luftkonditionierern mit verdunstungsgekühltem Verflüssiger nach EN 15218. Die Messung muss jedoch ohne Wasserzuleitung von außen durchgeführt werden; diese Geräte werden daher wie die sonstigen in der Normenreihe prEN 14511 behandelten Luftkonditionierer betrachtet.
Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass sich diese Messnorm ausschließlich auf den Luftschall bezieht.

Introduction
This document offers ways to determine the sound power level of air conditioners, liquid chilling
packages, heat pumps, and dehumidifiers with electrically driven compressors. Some of them are
specifically adapted to provide results with low uncertainties, by using laboratory class acoustic methods
and highly controlled operating conditions. Those measurements are suitable for certification, labelling
and marking purposes.
In some cases, the target and/or the environment of the measurements do not allow such precision-class
methods. This document also offers ways to assess sound power levels with acceptable accuracy even
though acoustic methods and/or operating conditions are not laboratory-type, e.g. in situ or quality
control measurements.

1 Scope
This document establishes requirements for determining, in accordance with a standardized procedure,
the sound power level emitted into the surrounding air by air conditioners, heat pumps, liquid chilling
packages with electrically driven compressors when used for space heating and/or cooling, and/or for
process, as described in the prEN 14511 series, and dehumidifiers, as described in EN 810.
This document also covers the measurement of the sound power level of evaporatively cooled condenser
air conditioners, as specified in EN 15218. However, the measurement will be done without external
water feeding and these units will thus be considered as the other air conditioners covered by the
prEN 14511 series.
It is emphasized that this measurement standard only refers to airborne noise.

Introduction
This document offers ways to determine the sound power level of air conditioners, liquid chilling
packages, heat pumps, and dehumidifiers with electrically driven compressors. Some of them are
specifically adapted to provide results with low uncertainties, by using laboratory class acoustic methods
and highly controlled operating conditions. Those measurements are suitable for certification, labelling
and marking purposes.
In some cases, the target and/or the environment of the measurements do not allow such precision-class
methods. This document also offers ways to assess sound power levels with acceptable accuracy even
though acoustic methods and/or operating conditions are not laboratory-type, e.g. in situ or quality
control measurements.
This document gives two classes of measurements and results, according to the test environment:
— Class A measurements correspond to controlled operating conditions (standard or application rating
conditions). It is defined by the respect to the tolerances of Table 2 and is intended to be used for the
conformity to requirements of:
— Commission Regulation (EC) No 206/2012 of 6 March 2012 implementing Directive
2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign
requirements for air conditioners;
— Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 811/2013 of 18 February 2013 supplementing
Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the energy
labelling of space heaters, combination heaters, packages of space heater, temperature control
and solar device and packages of combination heater, temperature control and solar device;
— Commission Regulation (EU) No 813/2013 of 2 August 2013 implementing Directive
2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign
requirements for space heaters and combination heaters.
— Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2281 of 30 November 2016 implementing Directive
2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the
setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products, with regard to ecodesign
requirements for air heating products, cooling products, high temperature process chillers and
fan coil units.
— Class B measurements correspond to the case where the range defined by the tolerances of Table 2
cannot be fulfilled.
In both classes, precision or engineering class acoustic methods need to be applied. The choice of the
acoustic measurement method is done in accordance with EN ISO 3740 and the EN ISO 9614 series
depending on the type of surrounding acoustic fields (diffuse or free field, enclosed or open space), and
the available instrumentation. The reference of acoustic standard needs to be reported with explicit
mention of its accuracy class, whatever the current operating conditions.
The use of EN ISO 3746 and EN ISO 3747 as survey grade methods is not recommended due to the high
level of uncertainties. Their use is only allowed for non-controlled environments when they fulfil the
engineering grade requirement.

prEN 12102-1:2021 (E)
Three methods for determining the sound power levels are specified in order to avoid unduly restricting
existing facilities and experience:
— the first methodology is based on reverberation room measurement (see EN ISO 3741 and the
EN ISO 3743 series);
— the second method is based on measurements in an essentially free field over a reflecting plane (see
EN ISO 3744 and EN ISO 3745);
— the third method is based on sound intensity measurement (see the EN ISO 9614 series) preferably
in a free field environment.
The necessity to maintain the test conditions obviously leads to recommend test methods implemented
in acoustically designed (enclosed) spaces, such as EN ISO 3741, the EN ISO 3743 series, EN ISO 3745 and
also the EN ISO 9614 series when implemented in an enclosed space.
The open spaces will be used only in specific cases, e.g. when the size or the capacity of the unit under
test cannot be managed by standard test rooms. Suitable test methods are EN ISO 3744 and the
EN ISO 9614 series.
NOTE Intensity measurement methods are quite robust and are well suited for tests to be done in
environments without or with a light acoustic treatment (the better the acoustic treatment, the easier the
implementation).

1 Scope
This document establishes requirements for determining, in accordance with a standardized procedure,
the sound power level emitted into the surrounding air by air conditioners, heat pumps, liquid chilling
packages with electrically driven compressors when used for space heating and/or cooling, and/or for
process, as described in the prEN 14511 series, and dehumidifiers, as described in EN 810.
This document also covers the measurement of the sound power level of evaporatively cooled condenser
air conditioners, as defined in EN 15218. However, the measurement will be done without external water
feeding and these units will thus be considered as the other air conditioners covered by the prEN 14511
series.
It is emphasized that this measurement standard only refers to airborne noise.
