EN 13771-2:2007 (E) 9 4 General requirements 4.1 Test equipment All equipment shall comply with the requirements of EN 378-2. 4.2 Calculation methods 4.2.1 Principle The determination of the refrigerating capacity of a condensing unit at the basic test conditions comprises:  evaluation of the actual mass flow of refrigerant at the condensing unit inlet (qm) when operating within the limits allowed to the basic test conditions in Table 3;  correction of this mass flow to that, at the basic test conditions using the ratio of the actual specific volume (vga) of the refrigerant vapour at the condensing unit inlet to the specific volume of the vapour at the basic test conditions (vgc 1);  product of the corrected mass flow and the difference between the specific enthalpies at the basic test conditions of the refrigerant vapour at the condensing unit inlet (hg c1), and the liquid refrigerant at the condensing unit outlet (hlc 4). NOTE For the purpose of this standard it is assumed that the volume flow rate is constant when the condensing unit is operating within the limits allowed in Table 3. 4.2.2 Specific enthalpy The value of the specific enthalpy is listed in the recognised data of the thermodynamic properties of the refrigerant used.
4.2.3 Refrigerant mass flow The refrigerant mass flow is either measured directly or calculated from measured values. 4.2.4 Power absorbed Within a superheat range of ± 5 K it is assumed that the power consumption will stay constant. 4.2.5 Basic equations The refrigerant mass flow qm determined by measurement is converted to that at the basic test conditions using the following equation: a1 gcagm0m=nnvvqq⋅ (1) The refrigerating capacity as defined in 3.1.1 for condensing units is calculated using the following equation: )(4lc1gc0m0hhq−⋅=Φ (2) The power absorbed by the condensing unit as defined in 3.1.2 is converted from the measured power absorbed to that at the basic test conditions using the following equation: SIST EN 13771-2:2008

where
Pc is the power absorbed by the condensing unit; PF
is the power absorbed by the fan and/or other auxiliary components. For motor compressors, the correction factor n/na is replaced by f/fa. NOTE It is not necessary to correct PF because this change is insignificant in comparison to Pc. The coefficient of performance COPrm as defined in 3.1.4.1 is calculated using the following equation: cm0rmPCOPΦ= (4a) The coefficient of performance COPrs as defined in 3.1.4.2 is calculated using the following equation: cs0rsPCOPΦ= (4b) 4.3 Requirements for the selection of test methods Two different test methods from those taken from Clause 5 shall be used at the same time. The results of the two methods shall correlate within 4 %. The test result is the mean value of the two methods. A second method is not necessary where testing devices are in constant use and subject to periodical calibration in accordance with EN ISO 9001. 4.4 Test procedure 4.4.1 General The tests described refer exclusively to a condensing unit operating continuously under conditions so that, for a specified period, fluctuations in all the factors likely to affect the results of a test remain within the limits prescribed and show no definite tendency to move outside these limits. These conditions are described as steady working conditions and are defined precisely in 4.10. 4.4.2 Steady working conditions After the condensing unit has been started, adjustments shall be made during a preliminary run until the measurements required are within the steady working conditions. Steady working conditions shall be reached for at least 15 min before recording commences and shall be maintained so during the full period of the test. 4.4.3 Recording of measured data Once steady working conditions have been reached, the measured data shall be recorded. At least one complete measuring cycle shall be carried out every minute. The recording period shall be at least 15 min. The mean value of any measured quantity shall be calculated from all the values of this quantity during the recording period. SIST EN 13771-2:2008



EN 13771-2:2007 (E) 11 4.5 Pressure and temperature measuring points The pressure and temperature at the inlet of the condensing unit shall be measured at the same place. This shall be located in a straight run of pipe at a distance of at least four times the pipe diameter, but not less than 150 mm from the shut-off valve or connection. The diameter of the pipe shall be consistent with that of the connection on the condensing units for a length of at least eight times the pipe diameter. The pressure and temperature at the outlet of the condensing unit shall be measured in a similar manner. 4.6 Oil circulation
The quantity of oil in circulation shall be determined after the test. From the liquid phase of the refrigerant circuit the refrigerant/oil mixture shall be poured into a collecting device intended for this specific purpose and the oil fraction determined.
In case of repeated tests of a compressor type for the known quantity of oil in circulation, random sampling may be sufficient. Alternative procedures with the same accuracy may be used. The collecting device shall be constructed according to EN 378-2. 4.7 Refrigerant composition The composition of any refrigerant to be used in a test shall be in accordance with ISO 817. NOTE Zeotropic refrigerants have a certain composition in the as-specified condition. Changes in pressure and temperature can cause a change in the concentration of the different components in the circulating refrigerant. This can be exacerbated by unfavourable distribution of the refrigerant in the circuit, leakage from the system and selective oil solubility. The thermodynamic properties will also change with resulting inaccuracies in the determination of performance data. 4.8 Calibration and requirements regarding measurement uncertainty 4.8.1 Calibration of calorimeters for methods A, B and C 4.8.1.1 Calorimeters for methods A, B and C shall be calibrated by determining a heat leakage factor, )(attF−=xiΦ (5) which describes the heat exchange between the calorimeter and the ambient temperature. 4.8.1.2 The reference temperature tx depends on the calorimeter type and determines the heat exchange to the ambient temperature. It can be: a) saturation temperature ts of the secondary fluid (e.g. method A); b) mean surface temperature tc of the calorimeter (e.g. method B); c) mean of refrigerant bubble and dew point temperatures tr of the calorimeter (e.g. method C). 4.8.1.3 The following method shall be used to determine the heat leakage factor: Before starting the test maintain the ambient temperature
