Sampling and Test Units8.1 Powered SinkA representative produ
32、ction model withheater shall be selected for performance testing.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Install the appliance in accordance with the manufactur-ers instructions and under a dedicated hood if necessary. Bothsides of the powered sink shall be a minimum of 6 in. (305mm) from any wall, side part
33、ition, or other operating appli-ance. The associated heating or cooling system shall be capableof maintaining an ambient temperature of 75 6 5F (24 6 3C)within the testing environment when the exhaust ventilationsystem or the powered sink, or both, are operating.F23790429.2 Connect the powered sink
34、to a calibrated energy testmeter. For gas installations, install a pressure regulator down-stream from the meter to maintain a constant pressure of gasfor all tests. Install instrumentation to record both the pressureand temperature of the gas supplied to the powered sink and thebarometric pressure
35、during each test so that the measured gasflow can be corrected to standard conditions. For electricinstallations, a voltage regulator may be required if the voltagesupply is not within 62.5 % of the manufacturers nameplatevoltage. For gas powered sinks, record gas temperature,pressure, and heating v
36、alue. Record barometric pressure.9.3 For an electric powered sink, confirm (while the pow-ered sink elements are energized) that the supply voltage iswithin 62.5 % of the operating voltage specified by themanufacturer (see Note 3). Record the voltage for each test.Pump and heater energy consumption
37、shall be separatelymonitored and reported for all tests.NOTE 3It is the intent of the test procedure herein to evaluate theperformance of a powered sink at its rated gas pressure or electric voltage.If an electric powered sink is rated dual voltage (that is, designed tooperate at either 208 or 240 V
38、 with no change in components), the voltageselected by the manufacturer or tester, or both, shall be reported. If apowered sink is designed to operate at two voltages without a change inthe resistance of the heating elements, the performance of the poweredsink (for example, the preheat time) may dif
39、fer at the two voltages.9.4 For a gas powered sink, adjust (during maximum energyinput) the gas supply pressure downstream from the poweredsinks pressure regulator to within 62.5 % of the operatingmanifold pressure specified by the manufacturer. Make adjust-ments to the powered sink following the ma
40、nufacturersrecommendations for optimizing combustion.9.5 Install a temperature sensor to record ambient tempera-tures of the test room. Measure the height of the powered sink.The sensor shall be placed 24 in. (610 mm) away from the frontof the powered sink and at a height of half the powered sinkshe
41、ight.9.6 Firmly attach eight thermocouple probes evenly alongthe front and rear sides of the water sink only. For the frontwall, two thermocouple probes shall be located (13 3 height ofthe water fill line from the bottom), above the bottom of thesink (13 3 width of the sink), and one from the right
42、and onefrom the left wall. Two more thermocouples shall be located(23 3 height of the water fill line from the bottom), above thebottom of the sink (13 3 width of the sink), and one from theright and one from the left wall. These steps shall be repeatedexactly for the rear wall. See Fig. 1. For exam
43、ple, for a watersink with a front wall dimension of 18 in. to the fill line and 48in. from left to right shall have two thermocouples located 6 in.from the bottom at 16 in. from either side and two thermo-couples 12 in. from the bottom and 16 in. from either side.Repeat for rear wall. (See Fig. 1 fo
44、r thermocouple locationillustration.)10. Procedure10.1 General:10.1.1 For gas powered sinks, record the following for eachtest run:10.1.1.1 Higher heating value,10.1.1.2 Standard gas pressure and temperature used tocorrect measured gas volume to standard conditions,10.1.1.3 Measured gas temperature,
45、10.1.1.4 Measured gas pressure,FIG. 1 Diagram of Thermocouple Placement per 9.6F237904310.1.1.5 Barometric pressure, and10.1.1.6 Energy input rate during or immediately prior totest.NOTE 4For a gas appliance, the quantity of heat (energy) generatedby the complete combustion of the fuel is known as t
46、he heating value, heatof combustion, or calorific value of that fuel. For natural gas, this heatingvalue varies according to the constituents of the gas. It is measured inBtu/ft3. The heating value shall be obtained during testing and used in thedetermination of the energy input to the appliance. Us
47、ing a calorimeter orgas chromatograph in accordance with accepted laboratory procedures isthe preferred method for determining the higher heating value of gassupplied to the powered sink under test. It is recommended that all testingbe performed with gas having a higher heating value of 1000 to 1075
48、Btu/ft3. The use of “bottle” natural gas with a certified heating valuewithin the specified 1000 to 1075 Btu/ft3(37 300 to 40 100 kJ/m3) rangeis an acceptable alternative.10.1.2 For gas powered sinks, record all electric energyconsumption along with gas energy for all tests, with theexception of the
49、 energy input rate test (see 10.2).10.1.3 For electric powered sinks, the following shall beobtained and recorded for each run of every test.10.1.3.1 Voltage while heating element is energized,10.1.3.2 Electricity consumed where applicable, and10.1.3.3 Measured energy input rate during test run.10.1.4 For electric powered sinks, separately record andreport pump and heater energy consumption.10.1.5 For each test run, confirm that the peak input rate iswithin 65 % of the rated nameplate input.
