EN 13771-2:2017 (E) 13 5 General requirements 5.1 Test equipment All equipment shall comply with the requirements of EN 378-2. 5.2 Calculation methods 5.2.1 Principle The determination of the refrigerating capacity of a condensing unit at the specified test conditions comprises: — evaluation of the actual mass flow of refrigerant at the condensing unit inlet (m11)when operating within the limits allowed to the specified test conditions in Table 4; — correction of this mass flow to the value at the specified test conditions using the ratio of the actual specific volume (v11a) of the refrigerant gas at the condensing unit inlet to the specific volume of the gas at the specified test conditions (v11); — product of the corrected mass flow and the difference between the specific enthalpies at the specified test conditions of the refrigerant gas at the condensing unit inlet (h11), and the liquid refrigerant at the condensing unit outlet (h12). 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 4. 5.2.2 Specific enthalpy The value of the specific enthalpy is listed in the recognized data of the thermodynamic properties of the refrigerant used depending on pressure and temperature. 5.2.3 Refrigerant mass flow The refrigerant mass flow is either measured directly or calculated from measured values. 5.2.4 Power absorbed Within a superheat range of ± 3 K it is assumed that the power consumption will stay constant. 5.2.5 Basic formulae The refrigerant mass flow m determined by measurement is converted to that at the specified test conditions using the following formula: For condensing units without compressor motors =×11aa11avnmmvn (1) For condensing units with compressor motors 11aa11avfmmvf=×=(2)=SIST EN 13771-2:2018



EN 13771-2:2017 (E) 14 The refrigerating capacity as defined in 3.1.1 for condensing units is calculated using the following formula: ()1112Qmhh=×−=(3)=The=power=absorbed=by=the=condensing=×nit=as=defined=in=3.1.4=is=converted=from=the=meas×red=power=absorbed=to=that=at=the=specified=test=conditions=×sing=the=following=form×la:=aFanPPPn=×+=(4)=where=P is the power absorbed by the condensing unit at specified test conditions; Pa for motor compressors: Pel; Pa for externally driven compressors: Pm; PF is the power absorbed by the fan and/or other auxiliary components. The conversion for condensing units without compressor motors is given by the following formula: FmanPPPn=+×=(5)=where=P is the power absorbed by the condensing unit at specified test conditions; PF is the power absorbed by the fan and/or other auxiliary components; Pm is the power absorbed by the compressor(s) at actual test conditions; n is the compressor speed. The conversion for condensing units with compressor motors is given by the following formula: FelafPPPf=+×=(6)=where=P is the power absorbed by the condensing unit at specified test conditions; PF is the power absorbed by the fan and/or other auxiliary components; Pel is the power absorbed by the compressor(s) at actual test conditions; f is the supply frequency of the power to the compressor motor. NOTE It is not necessary to correct PF because this change is insignificant in comparison to P. SIST EN 13771-2:2018



EN 13771-2:2017 (E) 15 The coefficient of performance COPR as defined in 3.1.6 is calculated using the following formula: RQCOPP==(7)=5.3 Requirements for the selection of test methods 5.3.1 General In general two different test methods as specified in Clause 6 shall be used at the same time for determining the mass flow. The results of the two methods shall not differ more than 4 %. The test result is the mean value of the two methods. Different methods according to 6.2 are allowed to be combined for the determination. 5.3.2 Second concurrent test Where testing devices are in constant use and are subject to periodical calibration in accordance with the recommended EN ISO 9001 a second concurrent test is not necessary. 5.4 Test procedure 5.4.1 General The tests specified 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 specified as steady working conditions and are defined precisely in 4.3. 5.4.2 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 allowable deviations regarding Table 4. Depending on the chosen test method, additional parameters are relevant for test results (see Table 5). These parameters have to be stable to an extent which is considered not to increase the uncertainty of the result significantly. A linear trend up or down of more than 50 % of the allowable deviations during the test period might indicate non steady-state conditions. Compressor mechanical equilibrium (run-in time) has to be considered according the manufacturer's requirements. 5.4.3 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. When using cyclic capacity control at least 15 complete measuring readings have to be taken per control cycle. The test period shall comprise only complete control cycles and at least 10. Averages shall additionally be formed from all measured values per cycle. 5.5 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. SIST EN 13771-2:2018



EN 13771-2:2017 (E) 16 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. 5.6 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. 5.7 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. 5.8 Calibration and requirements regarding measurement uncertainty 5.8.1 Calibration of calorimeters for methods A, B and C Calorimeters for methods A, B and C shall be calibrated by determining a heat leakage factor ()ixambQFtt=−=(8)=which=specifies=the=heat=exchange=between=the=calorimeter=and=the=ambient=temperat×re.=The=reference=temperat×re=tx depends on the calorimeter type and determines the heat exchange to the ambient temperature.

The following method shall be used to determine the heat leakage factor.
