20、 load and energy consumption.Plug loads over time have evolved to become a larger per-centage of a buildings overall heat gain. Two factors areresponsible for this increased significance. First, over time,computer use has continued to increase, resulting in a muchlarger number of personal computers

21、in use in buildings; sec-ond, advances in building techniques have improved enve-lopes and reduced that portion of the load/energy use.Engineers optimize HVAC equipment selections by care-fully performing cooling load calculations. Internal heatgains from plug loads (e.g., computers, monitors, print

22、ers,projectors, etc.) are a significant portion of the cooling loadcalculations. Most plug loads operate at a fraction of theirnameplate electrical load and, as a result, produce signifi-cantly less heat load than engineers may use in their coolingload calculations based on nameplate values.Manufact

23、urers of plug-load-type equipment report elec-trical requirements for their equipment, and some includepower consumption (heat rejection) information. Some equip-ment manufacturers include nameplate values showing thetotal power rating, while others do not. Some manufacturersmeasure maximum electric

24、 power consumption by the equip-ment and list that as power ratings on the nameplate or in theequipment literature, while some others list the maximumpower capacity of the system. Since the manufacturers powerratings are usually based on instantaneous measurementwhile equipment is working at maximum

25、 capacity, use ofequipment nameplate values for cooling load calculation maylead to over sizing of air-conditioning equipment, resulting inextra initial cost for air-conditioning equipment as well ashigher operating cost. On the other hand, underestimating ofcooling load calculation may result in in

26、sufficient coolingcapacity.Since there are no standards for establishing how thepower consumption or heat rejection data for various plugloads is determined, it is difficult for engineers to accuratelyuse this data in their cooling load calculations. In the past,ASHRAE has funded research projects (

27、RP-822, RP-1055, RP-1482) to develop a test method and measure plug load typeequipment heat rejection. Since plug load type equipment is anever evolving market, equipment design changes frequentlyrequire new testing for power consumption and generation ofheat rejection data for cooling load calculat

28、ion use.Standard 203 defines a method of test for determiningheat gain from plug-load-type electrical office equipment inbuildings. The data is to be used to evaluate the range andaverage operating heat gains for cooling load calculations.1. PURPOSEThis standard prescribes methods of test to determi

29、ne therange and average operating heat gains of electrical equip-ment for use in cooling load calculations.2. SCOPEThis standard applies to plug-load-type electrical equipment.3. DEFINITIONSHVAC: heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning.plug load: the heat load (heat rejected) or energy consumedby

30、 any electrical device plugged into an electrical wall outlet(socket) or a device wired to electrical power.power: defined as P = v i, where i and v are the instanta-neous values of the voltage and current. For constant DC cir-cuit, power is simply the product of the voltage and thecurrent. The powe

31、r in an AC circuit is the product of the volt-age, current, and power factor, P = v i, where is thepower factor. Power is a measure of the rate at which work isbeing done. Watt (or power) transducers provide a means ofmeasuring either AC or DC power and provide a signal pro-portional to the rate at

32、which work is being done. The unit ofelectric power is the watt.1total power consumption: under steady state conditions, withno phase change or chemical reactions involved in the equip-ment, the most accurate method to determine total steady-state heat output is by measuring electric power input to

33、theequipment. Fundamental principles of energy conservationensure that the total output is equal to the total power inputunder these conditions.4. NOMENCLATUREv = voltage, Vi = current, ampP = DC power, W (Btu/h); P = v i (1 W = 3.41 Btu/h)P = AC power,W (Btu/h); P = v i (1W = 3.41 Btu/h) = power fa

Most watttransducers measure the instantaneous power averaged oversome time interval to obtain average power. The watt-hourtransducers provide a w

35、att-hour output directly proportionalto the time integral of power.16. TEST PROCEDURES6.1 A watt-hour transducer of load capacity exceeding themaximum plug load equipment load shall be plugged into anelectric power outlet.6.2 Space ambient test conditions shall be 70F (21C)10F (5.6C).6.3 The plug lo

36、ad equipment shall be plugged into a watt-hour transducer.ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 203-2014 36.4 The plug load equipment item shall be turned on. Allowsufficient warm up time if the watt-hour transducer and theelectrical components of the plug load equipment require it.6.5 Turn on the plug load item and

37、 operate continuously atthe mode to be tested, and measure average power consump-tion for a minimum of five minutes. It is imperative to excludethe initial spike in power consumption during the equipmentpower up or start up since a short initial spike in power con-sumption of 30 to 60 seconds durati
