4.1 Basic principles
4.1.1 Heating capacity
The heating capacity of air conditioners and of air-to-air or water-to-air heat pumps shall be determined by
measurements in a calorimeter room or by the air enthalpy method which are described in Annex A and Annex B
respectively.
The heating capacity of air-to-water, water-to-water heat pumps and liquid chilling packages shall be determined
in accordance with the direct method at the water or brine heat exchanger, by determination of the volume flow of
the heat transfer medium, and the inlet and outlet temperatures, taking into consideration the specific heat
capacity and density of the heat transfer medium.
For steady state operation, the heating capacity shall be determined using the following formula:
P H = q × ρ × c p ∆t (1)
where:
P H is the heat capacity, in Watts;
q is the volume flow rate, in cubic metres per second;
ρ is the density, in kilograms per cubic metre;
c p is the specific heat at constant pressure, in joules per kilogram and kelvin;
∆t is the difference between inlet and outlet temperatures, in kelvin .
For the heating capacity calculation in transient operation, refer to 4.5.3.2.
The heating capacity shall be corrected for the heat from the fan or pump:
− if the fan or pump at the indoor heat exchanger is an integral part of the unit, the same power (calculated
in 4.1.5.1 or 4.1.6.1) which is excluded from the total power input shall be also subtracted from the
heating capacity;
− If the fan or pump at the indoor heat exchanger is not an integral part of the unit, the same power
(calculated in 4.1.5.2 or 4.1.6.2) which is included in the effective power input shall be also added to the
heating capacity.
4.1.2 Cooling capacity
The cooling capacity of air conditioners and of air-to-air or water-to-air heat pumps shall be determined by
measurements in a calorimeter room or by the air enthalpy method which are described in Annex A and Annex B
respectively.
The cooling capacity of air-to-water, water-to-water heat pumps and liquid chilling packages shall be determined
in accordance with the direct method at the water or brine heat exchanger, by determination of the volume flow of
the heat transfer medium, and the inlet and outlet temperatures, taking into consideration the specific heat
capacity and density of the heat transfer medium.
The cooling capacity shall be determined using the following formula:

4.1.6.1) which is excluded from the total power input is also added to the cooling capacity.
b) If the fan or pump at the evaporator is not an integral part of the unit, the same power (calculated in
4.1.5.2 or 4.1.6.2) which is included in the effective power input is also subtracted from the cooling
capacity.
4.1.3 Heat recovery capacity
The heat recovery capacity of air-to-water and water-to-water heat pumps and liquid chilling packages shall be

In the case of units which are not designed for duct connection, i.e. which do not permit any external pressure
differences, and which are equipped with an integral fan, the power absorbed by the fan shall be included in the
effective power absorbed by the unit.

4.4.2 Output measurement for water-to-water and water-to-air units
4.4.2.1 Steady state conditions
This condition is considered obtained and maintained when all the measured quantities remain constant
without having to alter the set values, for a minimum duration of 1 h, with respect to the tolerances given in
Table 4. Periodic fluctuations of measured quantities caused by the operation of regulation and control
devices are permissible, on condition the mean value of such fluctuations does not exceed the permissible
deviations listed in Table 4.
4.4.2.2 Measurement of heating capacity, cooling capacity and heat recovery capacity
For the output measurement it is necessary to record all the meaningful data continuously. In the case of
recording instruments which operate on a cyclic basis, the sequence shall be adjusted such that a complete
recording is effected at least once every 30 s.
The output shall be measured in the steady state condition. The duration of measurement shall be not less than
35 min.
4.4.3 Output measurement for cooling capacity of air-to-water and air-to-air units
4.4.3.1 Steady state conditions
This condition is considered obtained and maintained when all the measured quantities remain constant
without having to alter the set values, for a minimum duration of 1 h, with respect to the tolerances given in
14
NBN EN 14511-3 (2008)
EN 14511-3:2007 (E)
Table 4. Periodic fluctuations of measured quantities caused by the operation of regulation and control
devices are permissible, on condition the mean value of such fluctuations does not exceed the permissible
deviations listed in Table 4.
4.4.3.2 Measurement of cooling capacity
For the output measurement it is necessary to record all the meaningful data continuously. In the case of
recording instruments which operate on a cyclic basis, the sequence shall be adjusted such that a complete
recording is effected at least once every 30 s.
The output shall be measured in the steady state condition. The duration of measurement shall be not less than
35 min.
4.4.4 Output measurement for heating capacity of air-to-water and air-to-air units
4.4.4.1 General
The test procedure consists of three periods: a preconditioning period, an equilibrium period, and a data
collection period. The duration of the data collection differs depending upon whether the heat pump’s
operation is steady state or transient.
Annex C gives a flow chart of the procedure and pictorially represents most of the different test sequences
that are possible when conducting a heating capacity test.
4.4.4.2 Preconditioning period
The test room reconditioning apparatus and the heat pump under test shall be operated until the test
tolerances specified in Table 4 are attained for at least 10 min.
A defrost cycle may end a preconditioning period. If a defrost cycle does end a preconditioning period, the
heat pump shall operate in the heating mode for at least 10 min after defrost termination prior to beginning the
equilibrium period.
It is recommended that the preconditioning period end with an automatic or manually-induced defrost cycle
when testing at application rating conditions for outdoor air stated in Table 3 and Table 9 of
EN 14511-2:2007.
4.4.4.3 Equilibrium period
The equilibrium period immediately follows the preconditioning period or the defrost cycle and a recovery
period of 10 min that ends a preconditioning period.
A complete equilibrium period is one hour in duration.
Except as specified in 4.4.4.7, the heat pump shall operate while meeting the test tolerances specified in
Table 4.
4.4.4.4 Data collection period
The data collection period immediately follows the equilibrium period.
Data shall be sampled at equal intervals that span every 30 s or less, except during defrost cycles as specified
below.
During defrost cycles, plus the first 10 min following defrost termination, data used in evaluating the integrated
heating capacity and the integrated power input of the heat pump shall be sampled more frequently, at equal
intervals that span every 10 s or less. When using the indoor air enthalpy method, these more frequently
15
NBN EN 14511-3 (2008)
EN 14511-3:2007 (E)
sampled data include the change in indoor-side dry bulb temperature. When using the calorimeter method,
these more frequently sampled data include all measurements required to determine the indoor-side capacity.
For heat pumps that automatically cycle off the indoor fan during a defrost, the contribution of the net heating
delivered and/or the change in indoor-side dry bulb temperature shall be assigned the value of zero when the
indoor fan is off, if using the indoor air enthalpy method. If using the calorimeter test method, the integration of
capacity shall continue while the indoor fan is off.
The difference between the leaving and entering temperatures of the heat transfer medium at the indoor heat
exchanger shall be measured. For each interval of 5 min during the data collection period, an average
temperature difference shall be calculated, ∆T i (τ ). The average temperature difference for the first 5 min of
the data collection period, ∆T i (τ =0), shall be saved for the purpose of calculating the following percent
change:
 ∆T i (τ = 0) − ∆T i (τ ) 

%∆T =   × 100 (8)
 ∆ T i (τ = 0 ) 
4.4.4.5 Test procedure: When a defrost cycle ends the preconditioning period
If the quantity %∆T exceeds 2,5 % during the first 35 min of the data collection period, the heating capacity
test shall be designated a transient test (see 4.4.4.7). Likewise, if the heat pump initiates a defrost cycle
during the equilibrium period or during the first 35 min of the data collection period, the heating capacity test
shall be designated a transient test.
If the above conditions do not occur and the test tolerances specified in Table 4 are satisfied during both the
equilibrium period and the first 35 min of the data collection period, then the heat capacity test shall be
designated a steady-state test. Steady-state tests shall be terminated after 35 min of data collection.
4.4.4.6 Test procedure: When a defrost cycle does not end the preconditioning period
4.4.4.6.1 If the heat pump initiates a defrost cycle during the equilibrium period or during the first 35 min of
the data collection period, the heating capacity test shall be restarted as specified 4.4.4.6.3
4.4.4.6.2 If the quantity %∆T exceeds 2,5 % any time during the first 35 min of the data collection period,
then the heating capacity test procedure shall be restarted as specified in 4.4.4.6.3. Prior to the restart, defrost
cycle shall occur. This defrost cycle may be manually initiated or delayed until the heat pump initiates an
automatic defrost.
4.4.4.6.3 If either 4.4.4.6.1 or 4.4.4.6.2 apply, then the restart shall begin 10 min after the defrost cycle
terminates with a new equilibrium period of one hour. This second attempt shall follow the requirements of
4.4.4.3 and 4.4.4.4 and the test procedure of 4.4.4.5.
4.4.4.6.4 If the conditions specified in 4.4.4.6.1 or 4.4.4.6.2 do not occur and the test tolerances specified in
Table 4 are satisfied during both the equilibrium period and the first 35 min of the data collection period, then
the heat capacity test shall be designated a steady-state test. Steady-state tests shall be terminated after
35 min of data collection.
4.4.4.7 Test procedure for transient tests
When, in accordance with 4.4.4.5, a heating capacity test is designated a transient test, the following
adjustments shall apply.
To constitute a valid transient heating capacity test, the test tolerances specified in Table 5 shall be achieved
during both the equilibrium period and the data collection period. As noted in Table 5, the test tolerances are
specified for two sub-intervals. Interval H consists of data collected during each heating interval, with the
exception of the first 10 min after defrost termination. Interval D consists of data collected during each defrost
cycle plus the first 10 min of the subsequent heating interval.
16
NBN EN 14511-3 (2008)
EN 14511-3:2007 (E)
The test tolerance parameters in Table 5 shall be determined throughout the equilibrium and data collection
periods. All data collected during each interval, H or D, shall be used to evaluate compliance with the Table 5
test tolerances. Data from two or more H intervals or two or more D intervals shall not be combined and then
used in evaluating Table 5 compliance. Compliance is based on evaluating data from each interval separately.
The data collection period shall be extended until 3 h have elapsed or until the heat pump completes three
complete cycles during the period, whichever occurs first. If at an elapsed time of 3 h, the heat pump is
conducting a defrost cycle, the cycle shall be completed before terminating the collection of data. A complete
cycle consists of a heating period and a defrost period, from defrost termination to defrost termination.

Calorimeter test method
A.1 General
A.1.1 The calorimeter provides a method for determining capacity simultaneously on both the indoor-side
and the outdoor-side. In the cooling mode, the indoor-side capacity determination is made by balancing the
cooling and dehumidifying effects with measured heat and water inputs. The outdoor-side capacity provides a
confirming test of the cooling and dehumidifying effect by balancing the heat and water rejection on the
condenser side with a measured amount of cooling.
A.1.2 The size of the calorimeter shall be sufficient to avoid any restriction to the intake or discharge
openings of the equipment. Perforated plates or other suitable grilles shall be provided at the discharge
opening from the reconditioning equipment to avoid face velocities exceeding 1,0 m/s. Sufficient space shall
be allowed in front of any inlet or discharge grilles of the equipment to avoid interference with the air flow.
Minimum distance from the equipment to side walls or ceiling of the compartment(s) shall be 1 m, except for
the back of console-type equipment and single duct units, which shall be in normal relation to the wall. Ceiling-
mounted equipment shall be installed at a minimum distance of 1,8 m from the floor. Table A.1 gives the
suggested dimensions for the calorimeter. To accommodate peculiar sizes of equipment, it may be necessary
to alter the suggested dimensions to comply with the space requirements.

NOTE For larger capacity equipment, the following dimensions could be recommended:
Width ≥ 4 times the unit width
Height ≥ 2,5 times the unit height
Length ≥ 1,5 times the unit length.
A.1.3 Each compartment shall be provided with reconditioning equipment to maintain specified air flow and
prescribed conditions. Reconditioning apparatus for the indoor-side compartment shall consist of heaters to
supply sensible heat and a humidifier to supply moisture. Reconditioning apparatus for the outdoor-side
compartment should provide cooling, dehumidification, and humidification. The energy supply shall be
controlled and measured.
23
NBN EN 14511-3 (2008)
EN 14511-3:2007 (E)
When calorimeters are used for heat pumps, they shall have heating, humidifying and cooling capabilities for
both rooms (see Figures A.1 and A.2) or other means, such as rotating the equipment, may be used as long
as the rating conditions are maintained.
A.1.4 Reconditioning apparatus for both compartments shall be provided with fans of sufficient capacity to
ensure air flows of not less than twice the quantity of air discharged by the equipment under test in the
calorimeter. The calorimeter shall be equipped with means of measuring or determining specified wet- and
dry-bulb temperatures in both calorimeter compartments.

A.1.5 A pressure-equalising device shall be provided in the partition wall between the indoor-side and the
outdoor-side compartments to maintain a balanced pressure between these compartments. This device
consists of one or more nozzles, a discharge chamber equipped with an exhaust fan and manometers for
measuring compartment and air flow pressures.
Since the air flow from one compartment to the other may be in either direction, two such devices mounted in
opposite directions, or a reversible device, shall be used. The manometer pressure tubes shall be so located
as to be unaffected by air discharged from the equipment or by the exhaust from the pressure-equalising
device. The fan or blower, which exhausts air from the discharge chamber, shall permit variation of its air flow
by any suitable means, such as variable speed drive or a damper. The exhaust from this fan or blower shall
be such that it will not affect the inlet air to the equipment.
25
NBN EN 14511-3 (2008)
EN 14511-3:2007 (E)
A.1.6 It is recognised that in both the indoor-side and outdoor-side compartments, temperature gradients
and air flow patterns result from the interaction of the reconditioning apparatus and test equipment. Therefore,
the resultant conditions are peculiar to and dependent upon a given combination of compartment size,
arrangement and size of reconditioning apparatus, and the air discharge characteristics of the equipment
under test.
The point of measurement of the specified test temperatures, both wet- and dry-bulb, shall be such that the
following conditions are fulfilled.
a) The measured temperatures shall be representative of the temperature surrounding each piece of the
equipment and shall simulate the conditions encountered in an actual application for both indoor and
outdoor sides, as indicated above.
b) At the point of measurement, the temperature of air shall not be affected by air discharged from any piece
of the equipment. This makes it mandatory that the temperatures are measured upstream of any
recirculation produced by the equipment.
Air sampling tubes shall be positioned on the intake side of the equipment.
A.1.7 Interior surfaces of the calorimeter compartments shall be of non-porous material with all joints sealed
against air and moisture leakage. The access door shall be tightly sealed against air and moisture leakage by
use of gaskets or other suitable means.
A.2 Transient heating capacity test
If defrost controls on the heat pump provide for stopping the indoor air flow, provision shall be made to stop
the test apparatus air flow to the equipment on both the indoor and outdoor-sides during such a defrost period.
If it is desirable to maintain operation of the reconditioning apparatus during the defrost period, provision may
be made to bypass the conditioned air around the equipment as long as assurance is provided that the
conditioned air does not aid in the defrosting. A watt-hour meter shall be used for obtaining the integrated
electrical input to the equipment under test.
A.3 Calibrated room-type calorimeter
A.3.1 The calibrated room-type calorimeter is shown in Figure A.1. Each calorimeter, including the
separating partition, shall be insulated to prevent heat leakage (including radiation) in excess of 5 % of the
equipment's capacity. An air space permitting free circulation shall be provided under the calorimeter floor.
A.3.2 Heat leakage may be determined in either the indoor-side or outdoor-side compartment by the
following method: all openings shall be closed. Either compartment may be heated by electric heaters to a
temperature of at least 11 °K above the surrounding ambient temperature. The ambient temperature shall be
maintained constant within ± 1 °K outside all six enveloping surfaces of the compartment, including the
separating partition. If the construction of the partition is identical with that of the other walls, the heat leakage
through the partition may be determined on a proportional area basis.
A.3.3 For calibrating the heat leakage through the separating partition alone, the following procedure may
be used: a test is carried out as described above. Then the temperature of the adjoining area on the other side
of the separating partition is raised to equal the temperature in the heated compartment, thus eliminating heat
leakage through the partition, while the 11 °K differential is maintained between the heated compartment and
the ambient surrounding the other five enveloping surfaces.
The difference in heat input between the first test and second test will permit the determination of the leakage
through the partition alone.
26
NBN EN 14511-3 (2008)
EN 14511-3:2007 (E)
A.3.4 For the outdoor-side compartment equipped with means for cooling, an alternative means of
calibration may be to cool the compartment to a temperature at least 11 °K below the ambient temperature (on
six sides) and carry out a similar analysis.
A.3.5 As an alternative

al ternative to the two-room simultaneous method of determining capacities, the performance of
the indoor room-side compartment may be verified at least every six months using an industry standard
cooling capacity calibrating device. A calibrating device may also be another piece of equipment whose
performance has been measured by the simultaneous indoor and outdoor measurement method at an
accredited national test laboratory as part of an industry-wide cooling capacity verification program.
A.4 Balanced ambient room-type

room-type calorimeter
calorimeter
A.4.1 The balanced ambient room-type calorimeter is shown in Figure A.2 and is based on the principle of
maintaining the dry-bulb temperatures surrounding the particular compartment equal to the dry-bulb
temperatures maintained within that compartment. If the ambient wet-bulb temperature is is also maintained
equal to that within the compartment, the vapour-proofing provisions of A.1.6 are not required.
A.4.2 The floor, ceiling, and walls of the calorimeter compartments shall be spaced a sufficient distance
away from the floor, ceiling, and walls of the controlled areas in which the compartments are located in order
to provide a uniform air temperature in the intervening space. It is recommended that this distance be at least
0,3 m. Means shall be provided to circulate the air
air within the surrounding space to prevent stratification.
A.4.3 Heat leakage through the separating partition shall be introduced into the heat balance calculation
and may be calibrated in accordance with A.3.3, or may be calculated.
A.4.4 It is recommended that the floor, ceiling, and walls of the calorimeter compartments be insulated so as
to limit heat leakage (including radiation) to no more than 10 % of the test equipment's capacity, with an 11 °K
temperature difference, or 300 W for the same temperature difference, whichever is greater, as tested using
the procedure given in A.3.2.
A.5 Calorimeter and auxiliary

auxiliary equipment for water-cooled condenser tests
A.5.1 The indoor-side compartment of a room calorimeter of either the calibrated or the balanced ambient
type shall be used.
A.5.2 Measurements shall be made for determining flow and temperature rise of condenser cooling water.
Water lines shall be insulated between the condenser and points of temperature measurement.

A.6.2 The total cooling capacity on the indoor-side, as tested in either the calibrated or balanced-ambient,
room-type calorimeter (see Figures A.1 and A.2), is calculated as follows:
∑ P + q
φ tci = ic wc (hw1 − hw2 ) + φ lp + φ li (A.1)
NOTE 1 If no water is introduced during the test, hw1 is taken at the temperature of the water in the humidifier tank of
the conditioning apparatus
When it is not practical to measure the temperature of the water leaving the indoor-side compartment to the
outdoor-side compartment, the temperature of the condensate may be assumed to be at the measured or
estimated wet-bulb temperature of the air leaving the test equipment.
The water vapour (q

(qwc ) condensed by the equipment under test may be determined by the amount of water
evaporated into the indoor-side compartment by the reconditioning equipment to maintain the required
humidity.
The heat leakage φ lp

lp into the indoor-side compartment through the separating partition between the indoor-
side and outdoor-side compartments may be determined from the calibrating test or, in the case of the
balanced-ambient room-type compartment, may be based on calculations.
28
NBN EN 14511-3 (2008)
EN 14511-3:2007 (E)
The total cooling capacity on the outdoor-side, as tested in either the calibrated or balanced-ambient, room-
type calorimeter (see Figures A.1 and A.2), is calculated as follows:
φ tco = φ c − ∑ P oc − P t + q wc (hw3 − hw 2 ) + φ lp + φ lo (A.2)
NOTE 2 The hw3 enthalpy is taken at the temperature at which the condensate leaves the outdoor-side compartment.
The heat leakage rate ( φ

l p) into the indoor-side compartment through the separating partition between the
φlp
indoor-side and outdoor-side compartments may be determined from the calibrating test or, in the case of the
balanced-ambient room-type compartment, may be based on calculations.
NOTE 3 This quantity will be numerically equal to that used in Equation (A.1) if, and only if, the
the area of the separating
partition exposed to the outdoor-side is equal to the area exposed to the indoor-side compartment.

Conformance criteria
D.1 Liquid chilling packages
For water-to-water or brine-to-water units for which a heat balance on the cooling and/or heating capacity may
be calculated, this balance should not exceed 5 %.
This heat balance may be calculated as the difference between the direct measured cooling (heating) capacity
and the indirect cooling (heating) capacity related to the direct capacity.
The indirect cooling capacity is determined as the heat rejection capacity minus the compressor power input.
The indirect heating capacity is the sum of the cooling capacity and the compressor power input.
For water cooled liquid chilling packages including a heat recovery heat exchanger, the heat balancing
between the direct measured cooling capacity and the indirect cooling capacity calculation should not exceed
5 %.
The indirect cooling capacity is calculated as the sum of the heat rejection capacity and the heat recovery
capacity minus the compressor power input.
D.2 Calorimeter room method
When using the calorimeter room method, the capacity determined using the outdoor-side data should agree
within 5 % of the value obtained using the indoor-side data.
In the case of non-ducted air conditioners with water-cooled condensers, the heat flow rejected via the cooling
water is measured instead of the measurement in the outdoor-side compartment.
D.3 Heat recovery of multisplit systems
For the results to be valid, the sum of the cooling capacity of the indoor units (see A.6.2) and the power input
to the compressor and any fans should differ by not more than 5 % from the sum of the heating capacity of the
indoor units (see A.7.2) and the heat from the outdoor unit. The heat from the outdoor unit may be negative if
the unit is absorbing heat, or positive if the unit is rejecting heat.

0,5 ± 5 %, by the disconnection of indoor units, if the arrangement of indoor units allows; if not, an alternative
ratio should be selected.
NOTE Other system reduced capacities and energy efficiency ratios or coefficients of performance may be
determined, if required, at system capacity ratios different from 0 ,5.
F.2 Selection of units
The modular multisplit system is selected so that one or a combination of indoor units can be used to give a
system reduced capacity required.
F.3 Temperature conditions
Temperature conditions are the standard rating conditions specified in Table 13 of EN 14511-2:2007 for the

The described methods provide means to determine the capacity of an individual indoor unit, either operating
on its own with the other indoor units disconnected, or with all indoor units operating.
All tests are made in accordance with the requirements of EN 14511-2 and of this part.
G.1.2 Calorimeter method
If measurements are made by the calorimeter method, then the testing of an individual unit, with all others
operating, will need at least a three-room calorimeter test facility. If only one unit is operating, a two-room
calorimeter will suffice. Each calorimeter should satisfy requirements described in Annex A.
For the result to be valid, the total capacity calculated from the two indoor rooms should differ by not more
than 5 % from the capacity calculated from the outdoor unit.
G.1.3 Air-enthalpy method
If measurements are made by the air-enthalpy method, then the testing should be done with one or more
indoor rooms and one or more air measuring devices connected to the indoor units. The outdoor unit should
be situated at least in an environmental test room.
The test facility should satisfy the requirements described in Annex B, except that the individual indoor unit to
be tested should have its own plenum and air flow measuring device.
G.2 Temperatures conditions
Temperature conditions are as specified in Tables 13 and 14 of EN 14511-2:2007.
G.3 Other test conditions
