General Description TAA For the compressor calibration method, total ‘cooling capacity or hesting capacity is determined. follows: (a) For cases where the superheat of the refrigerant leaving, the evaporator is 3°C (5°F) or higher, capacity shall be ‘evalusted by determining refiigerant flow rate and the ‘hangs in refrigerant enthalpy between the inlct and out let ofthe indoor section or indoor side of the equipment. Refrigerant flow rate shall be deduced based on prior ot ‘subsequent calibration of the compressor under identical ‘operating conditions: the same compresscr auction and.discharge pressures and the same suction temporiture. As described in Section 6 of ASHRAF Standard 23,7 compressor calibration may be achieved using ether ane ofthe calorimeter methods or one ofthe flow moter methods. (®) For cooling mode tests wre the superheat of the refiige rant leaving the evaporator is less than 3°C (S°F}, cool- ing capacity chal be dstomnined by eondustng o ssparsts vaporatorype calorimeter test where the compressor is ‘operated under the same test conditions as encountered {orth equipment test (©) For heating mode tess where the superheat of the refiige ‘rant leaving the evaporator is ess than 3°C (SY), heating capacity shall be dotermined as described above in (a) with the additional stipulation that rffigerant flow rate shall be deduced based on compressor celibrations con- ducted using a condonser-type calorimeter. 742 Refrigerant Properties Mensurement 7A.L1 With the equipment operating atthe desied tast conditions, the temperature and pressure of the reffigerant Teaving the indoor section or sid, entering the indoor section or side (heating mode), entering the expansion device (eool- ing mode), and entering and leaving the compressor shall be measured. For cases where the indoor air enthalpy method is also conducted, data used to calcalate capacity according to ‘the compressor calibration method anc the indoor sirenthalpy ‘method shall be collected over the same intervals 7422 On equipment not sensitive to reffigerant charge, pressure measuring insiruments may be tapped into the refrigerant lines provided that they do nat affect the total ‘charge by more than 0.5% 7A.23. On equipment sensitive to refrigerant charge, preliminary test is required prior to connecting any pressure _gatges or beginning the first oficial test. In preparation for this preliminary test, temperature sensors shall be attached to ‘the equipments indoor and outdoor coils. The scnors shall be located at points that ao not affected by vapor saperheat or liquid subcooling. Placementinear themidpoint ofthe ovil, at atetum bend, is recommended. The preliminary test shall be conducted us described in8.7 withthe additional requirement ‘that the temperatures of the on-coil sensors be included with ‘the ragularly recorded dats. After the preliminary testis com. pleted, the refrigerant shall be removed from the equipment, And the needed pressure gauges shall be installed. The equip ‘ment shall be evacuated and recharged with refrigerant. The ‘test shall then be ropested. Once steady-state operation is achieved, reffigerant shall be added orremoved until 3s eom- ‘pared to the average values from the preliminary tes, the fol- lowing conditions are achieved: 1) each on-col temperature sensor indieaies a reading that is within =0.3°C (05°F), (2) the temperatures ofthe refrigerant entcring and leeving the compressor are within 42°C (3°F), and (3) the refrigerant temperature entering the expansion dovice is within =0.5°C (10°F). Once these conditions have been achieved over an interval of at least ton minutos, refrigerant charging equip- ‘ment shall be removed and the firs! ofthe official tests shall be initiated. TAZA Reftigerant temperatures shall be measured by ‘means of thermocouples or equivalent devices that are prop erly attached to the lines at appropriate lecations. 7425. No instrumentation shall be removed, replaced, or otherwise disturbed during any portion of « complete capacity test 7A26 Temperatures and pressures of the refrigerant ‘vapor entering and leaving the compressor shall be measured st eppraximately 25 em (IU in.) from the compressor shal. If the reversing valve is included in the calibration, these mea suremgnts should be taken on the lines to the coils st approx imately 25 em (10 in.) fom the reversing valve 74.3. Compressor Flow Rate Calibration TASL. Refiigerant Mow rate shall be determined based on separate calibration tests condacted on the same compres sor as used by the equipment under test. For cases where the superheat of the refrigerant leaving the eveporator is 1°C (GF) orhighe, the calibration tests shall be conducted sing ‘one of the applicable methods specified in ASHRAE Stan dard 23.” For cases where the equipment is heating and the ‘refrigerant superheat leaving the evaporator is less than 3°C (6), however, the condenser calorimeter method described in ASHRAE Standard 23” and ANSUASHRAE Standard 41.9 shall be exclusively used to determine retigerant flow rate, Refrigerant flow rate calibration tests are no! applicable for cases where the equipment is cooling and the refrigerant supesheat leaving the evaporator is less than 3°C (S°F) (see 7.4. insted), 7432 Calibration tests shall be performed with the compressorandreversing valve (where used) atthe same smbient temperature and air pattern ax in the tested equipment 7.44 Cooling Capacity Secondary Test for Equipment, When Tesied, Having a Suction Superheat Less than 3°C °F) TAAL For cooling mode tess where the supetheat of ‘the refrigerant leaving any evaporatoris les than 3°C (S°F).a separate test using an eraperstor-ype calorimeter shall be conducted. ‘The three evaporator-ype calorimeters that may ‘bo used are |, Socondaryrefigerant calorimeter 2.

Refrigerant Enthalpy Method TSA General Description TELL In this method, espacity is determined from the refiigerant enthalpy change and flow rate. Enthelpy changes are determined from measurements of entering and leaving pressures and temperatures of the refrigerant, and the flow rite is determined by a suitable flow meter inthe liquid Inc. ‘With the equipment operating at the desired test conditions, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant leaving the indoor section or side and sther entoring the indoor section or side (eating mode) or entering the expansioa device (cooling mode) shall be measured. For cases where the indoor air cathalpy method is also conducted, dats used to caleulato capacity as described in the refrigerant enthalpy method and the indoor sir enthalpy method shall be collecied over the same interval, ANSUASHRAE Sirdar 17-2009 78.1.2 Thismethod may be used for tests of equipment in which the refrigerant charge isnot critical and where nor- ‘mal insiallation procedures invelye the ficld connection of refiigerant lines. 781.3 This method shall tbe used for tests ia which the refrigerant liquid leaving the low meter is subcooled less than 2°C (3°F) or for tests in which any instantancous mea- surement ofthe superheat ofthe vapor leaving the indoor sec- tion i less than 3°C (S°E). 782 Refrigerant Flow Measurement $2.1 Therefrigerant flow rate shall be measured with an integrating type flow meter connecied in the liquid line Uupsircam of the refrigerant control device.

Subcooling of 2°C (3°F) and the ansence of any vapor bubbles inthe liquid are considered ade- quate, tis recommended thatthe meter be installed at the bot tom of a vertical downward loop in the liquid line to take vantage of the static head of liquid thas provided. 78.23 Attheend ofthe tes, a sample ofthe circulating reffigerant and oil mixture should be taken from the equip- ment and the percentage of oil measured in accordance with ANSVASHRAE Standard 41.4. The total indicated flow rate should then be comrested for the emount of circulating oil, especially ifthe refrigerant enthalpy method is being used as the secondary method and the flow adjustment is needed to ‘comply with 19.1.2. 7814. For ystems using zsotropic refrigerants sam ple of the superbested vapor reftigerant should be removed while the unit is running in order io conduct a composition analysis, The refrigerant propertics should be adjusted based ‘on the measured composition using an established refrigerant property database. Such adjustments should be made espe cially ifthe reftigerant enthalpy method is being used as the secondary method and compliance with 10.1.2 is net other- wise achieved. 783.

The test shall be cor- tinued fora period of at least one-half hour atthe proper com ditions with the outdoor test apparatus connected. During this petiod, the indoor side test results shall agree within +2.0% withthe results obtained during the preliminary test period. This check ofthe effect of the test apparatus en performance shall be conducted for one cooling test and one heating test snd may be conducted for any additional tests, ANSUASHIRAE Standard 37.2009 86.2 When the oudoer airflow rate is adjusted as described in 8.6.1, the adjusted airflow rte isemployed in the capacity caloulation. In such eases, however, the outdoor fan power iaput observed daring the applicable preliminary tet should be used for rating purposes. 87 Test Procedure for Cooling Capacity Tests 8.7L The tes room reconditioning apparatus and the equipment under tes shall be operated until steady-state per- formance that is consistont withthe tes tolerances specified in Table 2 is attained before cooling capacity test data are recorded. 8.72 Data used in evaluating cooling capacity shall then be recorded at equal intervals that span five minutes or less until roadings over period of enc-halfhour are within the tol- crances prescribed in 9.2. 8.7.8 When the outdoor ar enthalpy method is used, the soquirements in 8.7.1 and 8.7.2 apply to both the preliminary test specified in 8.6.1 and test itself. When the compressor calibration method is employed, the above requirements apply to both the equipment test and the compressor calibra- tion test. 88 Test Operating Procedure for Heating Capacity Tests 881 General 88.1.1 Heating capacity tests used to evaluate the heat- ing performance of. heat pump when operating st conditions that are conducive to frost accumulation on the outdoor coil should be conducted using the “I” test procedure described in 83. Othenwise, the manufacturer shall have the option of first tying 10 use the “S” test procedure of 88.2. If he requirements of the “S” test procedure cannot be achieved, ‘then thehesting capacity test shall be conducted using the “T” test provedure described in 8.83. 83.1.2 Except as noted, overriding of automatic defrost controls shall be prohibited. The controls may only be over= ridden when manually initiating a defrost cycle is permitted, 88.1.3 For heat pumps thal use a time-adaptive defrost control system, where deffost initiation depends on the length fof previous defrost eycles, the defrost controls of the heat pump shall be defeated during the offical dats collection interval ofall heating capacity tests. When the defrost con- ttols are defeated, defrost cycles (if any) shall he manually induced in accordance with the manufacturers instructions 88.14 Any defrost cycle, whether automatically or manually initiated, that occurs while conducting a heating capacity test shall always be terminated by the action of the ‘heat pump's defrost controls 88.15 Defrost termination shall be defined as occur- ring when the controls of the heat pump actuate the frst change in converting from defrost operation to normal heating operation. Whether automatically or manually initiated, defrost initition shall be defined as occuring when the con tuols ofthe hest pump firs alter its normal hesting operation in order to eliminate possible accumulations of frost on the ‘outdoor evilTABLE 2a Test Tolerances (S1Units) “ex Opening Tokrance “st Conn Terasawa ergs (iusloteen Range) Teom Speicd oe Cat) eae wine ‘teat wn | Jossierdy-bubienpestse(C> Eaemne wfefPe?=sfe>epe]o [osiorwschihimpeane OF ant os fag | oe w= poe po So w foe fw fo fw fw fo f= fndkerverbabiemeemr (Oe nein as | os @ [oer ing waren) es [os a po \seaelnfigerat pene oraningiemand | 171 @ po itor ste pee) int opera if ivi ei) | as a | oo [smalrseune tos (8) us | as esi woke 0 wan) 20 [20 [20 in ow a ed) 20 | 20) [omic rem depict) zo | 2 Tie Sete” lap we hai seth Rei ode a fr be rier ae i emai dra oe Theda pn ol ce Sat (Dikpis be fu snmnte Wie tereaing belo > Rpideewtensny Seca srerty me ‘Where avs eo tno Qe, sl te ced wen onping erage ee ee &_Aptemtcany entering gape unre natnes wb stroatwn eg Pag ene Rene oot ice be ah : Se FR ea pan tin ete ently mah tet tpi hc ll tne ed epee (Beco! hed ci nthe comesor frit cntos mae hee cr olan TABLE 2b Test Tolerances (LP Units) est Operating aera Tex Contes Ikan Veriton of erage (Gat Gerad Range ‘ie pete oe Coma) ot oh a et Fa cotng_| rowing | Porn| Ponion | Cooting | trong | rarton | Porton o. score ace wf ag | 2 f wo [oe fo | loaderwsrhubenpeatc()Eaeing we | 2 | oe fo | a ean ome |e aioe none.

Over these same periods. all otter applicable Table 2 non-fosting parameters used in evaluating equilibrium shall be surmple a! equal inter valsthat span five minutes or less. Al dat collected over the respective periods, except for parameters sampled between @ defrost initiation and ten minutes after the defrost termina- tion, shall be used to evahiate compliance with the test toler ances specified in Table 2 8.82.3 The tost oom rovonditioning apparatus and the equipment under test shall be operated until equilibrium con- ditions are attained, but for not less tan one hour, before tst data are recorded. At any time during the preconditioning period, tbe heat pump may undergo one or more defiost cycles if automatically initiated by its own controls. The precondi- tioning period may. in addition, end witha defrost cycle ané this period ending defrost cycle may bs cither automatically ormanually initiated.

The outdoor sir ‘enthalpy method shall rot be used and its associated outdoor Side measurement apparatus, if used in the previous test, shall be disconnected from the heat pump. In all eases, the normal ‘outdoor-sde airflow of the equipment shall not be disturbed.

The tes tolerance parameters in Table 2 shall be ‘sampled throughout the preconditioning and data collection pretiods. For the purpose of evaluating compliance with the spovified test tolorinces, the dry-bulb temperature of the air ‘entering the indoor-sideand the cutdcor-side shall besampled. at least every minute during the heat portion andat least every 120 seconds during tho deffest portion. The water vapor con {ent ofthe air entering the outdocr-side shall be sampled at least every minute. All other Table 2 “beat with frost” param- ‘tors shall be sampled at equal intervalsthat span fiveminates ores. All data collected during each interval, heat portion and defrost portion, shall be used to evaluate compliance with the “Table 2 “heat with Fras” olerances. Data from two or more heat portion intervals or two or more defrost potion intervals shall not be combined and then used in evalusting Table 2 “heat with frost” compliance. Compliance is based en evalu- ‘ating data for each interval separately. ‘83.3.4 The test 1oom reconditioning apparatus and the ‘equipment under tes shall be operated until equilibrium con- ‘tions are attained, but for not less than one hour. Elapsed ‘ume associated witha failed atempt using the"S" test proce- ‘dure of 8.82 may be counted in meeting the minimum roquiroment for one hour of operation. Prior to obtaining, ‘equilibrium and completing one hour of operation, the heat ‘pump may undergo a deftostis) cycle if automatically init ‘ted by ite own controle 88.35 Oncetthe preconditioning described in 8.83.4 is ‘completed, a dafrart cycle shall occur before data are recorded. This deirost cycle should be manually initiated, if possible, in order to avoid the delay of having to otherwise “wait for the heat pump to automatically initiste @ defrost. ata collection shall bogin atthe termination of the defrost «ycle and skal continue until one ofthe following criteria is set. If, at an elapsed time of three hours, the heat pump has ‘completed at least one defrost cycle anda defiostcyele is not presently underway, then data collection shall be immeditely terminated. If, at an elapsed time of three hours, the heat ‘pump is conducting a defrost, the cycle shall be completed before terminating the collection of data. If three complete ‘eles are concluded prior to three hours, data collection shall be terminated atthe end ofthe third cycle. A complete cycle ‘consists of «heating period and a defrost period, from defrost ‘termination todefrost termination, For a heat purnp where the first defrost cycle is initiated afer throc hours but before sx ‘hours have elapsed, data collection shall cease when this fst deirost cycle terminates. Data collection shall cease at six hours ifthe heat pump docs not undergo adafrost cycle within six hours, 88.3.6 In order to constitute a valid tos, the tet toler- ‘ances in Table 2 “heat with frost” shall be satisfied during the applicable 8.8.3.5 test period. Because the test begins at defrost termination and may end at a defrost termination, the first defrest portion interval will only include data from the first ex-minute heating interval while the last defrost portion interval could potentially include data only from the last doirost cycle. 88.3.7 Except for the deviations noted for the dry-buil ‘omporatures, the data required forthe indoor air enthalpy test ‘method shall be sampled at equal interval that span five min- utes or less.
