2、 interpretation refers to the requirements in ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 190-2013, Section 2, regarding the description of equipment covered by the scope of the standard. Background: The Scope description of the ASHRAE Standard 190 2013 allows for equipment which may include air reheating. That could lead

3、 for Cool-only mechanical vapor-compression refrigeration systems to be tested under ASHRAE Standard 190 - 2013. Air reheat is a mandatory function of the Indoor Pool Dehumidifiers to prevent the space overcooling. Using external energy input for air reheat is wasteful and is prohibited or limited p

4、er ASHRAE Standard 90.1. ASHRAE Standard 190 - 2013 was developed for Cool-reheat mechanical vapor-compression refrigeration dehumidification systems. At present ASHRAE Standard 190 - 2013 Scope is in contradiction with the standard content. Section 2 states: 2. Scope 2.1 This standard applies to in

5、door pool dehumidifiers using electrically driven, mechanical vapor-compression refrigeration systems consisting of one or more factory-made assemblies that dehumidify and circulate air and may include pool water heating, air reheating, cooling, filtering, and heat recovery. 2.2 Systems other than t

6、he above are excluded. As per ASHRAE Appeals Panel recommendation this Interpretation shall clarify what types of configurations of equipment may be tested using this standard. Interpretation: Types of configurations of equipment to be tested using ASHRAE Standard 190 2013 are specified in Section 2

7、 Scope. Configurations of equipment other then specified including Cool-only mechanical vapor-compression refrigeration systems are not covered by ASHRAE Standard 190-2013. Question: Is this interpretation correct? Answer: Yes. Comments: As stated in the Interpretation Section of this document Cooling only equipment is not covered by this standard.
