Ratings based on tests performed at conditions other than those specified in Section 5.2.1. 3.3.2 Standard Rating Condi

14、tions. Rating conditions used as the basis of comparison of performance characteristics. 3.4 “Shall“ or “Should“. “Shall“ or “should“ shall be interpreted as follows: 3.4.1 Shall. Where “shall“ or “shall not“ is used for a provision specified, that provision is mandatory if compliance with the stand

15、ard is claimed. 3.4.2 Should. “Should“ is used to indicate provisions which are not mandatory but which are desirable for good practice.

18、s, and may also include Application Ratings. 5.2 Standard Ratings. Standard Ratings shall be established at the Standard Rating Conditions specified in Section 5.2.1. Standard Ratings shall be verified by tests as required in Section 4. 5.2.1 Standard Rating Conditions. The conditions of test for Th

19、eoretical Storage Effectiveness are as follows: Ambient temperature: 32.0 C Initial ice temperature: 0.0 C 5.2.2 Values of Standard Ratings. Standard Ratings shall include the Theoretical Storage Capacity of the Ice Storage Bin and the Theoretical Storage Effectiveness as it appears in Appendix C. 5

20、.2.2.1 Theoretical Storage Capacity. The Theoretical Storage Capacity of the Ice Storage Bin, kg, is determined by using the bins internal volume multiplied by 80% multiplied by 480 kg/m3. The Theoretical Storage Capacity shall be expressed in multiples of 5.0 kg. 5.2.2.2 Theoretical Storage Effecti

21、veness. The Theoretical Storage Effectiveness shall be expressed to the nearest 1%. 5.3 Application Rating Conditions. Ratings at conditions other than those specified in Section 5.2.1 may be published as Application Ratings and shall be based on data determined by the methods of testing prescribed

22、in Section 4. 5.4 Tolerance. To comply with this standard, Published Ratings shall be based on data obtained in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this standard, and shall be such that any production unit, when tested, will have a Theoretical Storage Capacity no lower than its Pub

23、lished Rating and a Theoretical Storage Effectiveness not less than 95% of its Published Rating. Section 6. Minimum Data Requirements for Published Ratings 6.1 Minimum Data Requirements for Published Ratings. Published Ratings shall include all Standard Ratings. All claims to ratings within the scop

24、e of this standard shall include the verbiage “Rated in accordance with AHRI Standard 820 (SI)”. All claims to ratings outside the scope of this standard shall include the verbiage “Outside the scope of AHRI Standard 820 (SI)”. Wherever Application Ratings are published or printed, they shall includ

25、e a statement of the conditions at which the ratings apply. AHRI STANDARD 821 (SI)-2012 3 Section 7. Marking and Nameplate Data 7.1 Marking and Nameplate Data. As a minimum, the nameplate shall display the manufacturers name and model designation. Section 8. Conformance Conditions 8.1 Conformance. W

26、hile conformance with this standard is voluntary, conformance shall not be claimed or implied for products or equipment within the standards Purpose (Section 1) and Scope (Section 2) unless such product claims meet all of the requirements of the standard and all of the testing and rating requirement
