The heating capacity shall be corrected for the heat from the fan or pump: a) if the fan or pump at the indoor heat exchanger is an integral part of the unit, the same power (calculated in 4.1.5.2 or 4.1.6.3) which is excluded from the total power input shall be also subtracted from the heating capacity; b) if the fan or pump at the indoor heat exchanger is not an integral part of the unit, the same power (calculated in 4.1.5.3 or 4.1.6.4) 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 (see Annex A) or by the air enthalpy method (see Annex B). However, the cooling capacity of air conditioners and of air-to-air heat pumps having a cooling capacity below or equal to 12 kW shall be determined by measurements in a calorimeter room. 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 air flow through the room shall not be capable of initiating any short circuit between these two orifices, and therefore the velocity of the air flows through the room at these two locations shall not exceed 1,5 m/s when the test object is switched off. The air velocity in the room shall also not be greater than the mean velocity through the unit inlet. Unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer, the air inlet or air outlet orifices shall be not less than 1 m distant from the surfaces of the test room. Any direct heat radiation by heating units in the test room onto the unit or onto the temperature measuring points shall be avoided. 4.2.1.3 Appliances with duct connection The connections of a ducted air unit to the test facility shall be sufficiently air tight to ensure that the measured results are not significantly influenced by exchange of air with the surroundings. SIST EN 14511-3:2013



EN 14511-3:2013 (E) 9 4.2.1.4 Appliances with integral pumps For appliances with integral and adjustable water or brine pumps, the external static pressure shall be set at the same time as the temperature difference. When the liquid pump has one or several fixed speeds, the speed of the pump shall be set in order to provide the minimum external static pressure. In case of variable speed liquid pump, the manufacturer shall provide information to set the pump in order to reach a maximal external static pressure of 10 kPa. 4.2.1.5 Liquid chilling package for use with remote condenser Units for use with remote condenser are tested by using a water-cooled condenser, the characteristics of which shall enable the intended operating conditions to be achieved. 4.2.2 Installation and connection of the test object 4.2.2.1 General The test object shall be installed and connected for the test as recommended by the manufacturer in the installation and operation manual. The accessories provided by option are not included in the test. If a back-up heater is provided in option or not, it shall be switched off or disconnected to be excluded from the testing.
For single ducts, regardless of the manufacturer’s instructions, the discharge duct shall be as short and straight as possible compatibly with minimum distance between the unit and the wall for correct air inlet but not less than 50 cm. No accessory shall be connected to the discharge end of the duct.
For double duct units, the same requirements apply to both suction and discharge ducts, unless the appliance is designed to be installed directly on the wall. For multisplit systems, the test shall be performed with the system operating at a capacity ratio of 1, or as close as possible. When performing measures in heating mode, set the highest room temperature on the unit/system control device; when performing measures in cooling mode, set the lowest room temperature on the unit/system control device. If in the instructions, the manufacturer indicates a value for the temperature set on the control device for a given rating condition, then this value shall be used. For unit with open-type compressor the electric motor shall be supplied or specified by the manufacturer. The compressor shall be operated at the rotational speed specified by the manufacturer. For inverter type control units, the setting of the frequency shall be done for each rating condition. The manufacturer shall provide in the documentation information about how to obtain the necessary data to set the required frequencies. If a skilled personnel with knowledge of control software is required for the start of the system, the manufacturer or the nominated agent should be in attendance when the system is being installed and prepared for tests. 4.2.2.2 Installation of unit consisting of several parts In the case of a unit consisting of several parts, the following installation conditions shall be complied for the test. a) The refrigerant lines shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The length of the lines shall be 5 m except if the constraints of the test installation make 5 m not possible, in which case a greater length may be used, with a maximum of 7,5 m.
SIST EN 14511-3:2013



EN 14511-3:2013 (E) 10 b) The lines shall be installed so that the difference in elevation does not exceed 2,5 m. c) The thermal insulation of the lines shall be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. d) Unless constrained by the design, at least half of the connecting lines shall be exposed to the outside conditions, with the rest of the lines exposed to the inside conditions. 4.2.2.3 Indoor units of multisplit systems
When testing a multisplit system in a calorimeter room, the air flow rate and the external static pressure shall be adjusted separately for each one of the ducted indoor units. When testing a multisplit system using the air enthalpy method, the air flow rate and the external static pressure shall be adjusted separately for each indoor unit, ducted or not. In case of equipment with non ducted indoor units tested using the air enthalpy method, the above requirement on ducted indoor units shall apply. 4.2.2.4 Measuring points Temperature and pressure measuring points shall be arranged in order to obtain mean significant values. For free air intake temperature measurements, it is required:  either to have at least one sensor per square meter, with not less than four measuring points and by restricting to 20 the number of sensors equally distributed on the free air surface;  or to use a sampling device. It shall be completed by four sensors for checking uniformity if the surface area is greater than 1 m². Air temperature sensors shall be placed at a maximum distance of 0,25 m from the free air surface. For control cabinet air conditioners, the inlet temperature at the evaporator is measured instead of the temperature inside the control cabinet. For units consisting of a heat pump and a storage tank as a factory made unit, water inlet and outlet temperature measurements shall be taken at the inlet and outlet of this unit. For water and brine, the density in formulae (1), (2) and (3) shall be determined in the temperature conditions measured near the volume flow measuring device. 4.3 Uncertainties of measurement The uncertainties of measurement shall not exceed the values specified in Table 1.
