Sampling and Test Units8.1 Deli CaseSelect a representative production modelfor performance testing.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Install the deli c
27、ase according to the manufacturersinstructions in an appropriate space. All sides of the deli caseshall be a minimum of 12 in. (305 mm) from any side wall, sidepartition, or other operating appliance. The associated heatingor cooling system for the space shall be capable of maintainingan ambient tem
28、perature of 73 6 3F (22 6 2C) within thetesting environment.9.2 The testing environment during energy tests shall bemaintained in accordance with the section on performance foropen top hot food holding equipment room specifications ofNSF/ANSI 4. The NSF/ANSI 4 test room conditions are anambient temp
29、erature of 73 6 3F (22 6 2C), no verticaltemperature gradient exceeding 1.5F/ft (2.5C/m), and maxi-mum air current velocity of 50 ft/min (0.25 m/s) across thesurfaces of the test pans (partially enclosed units).9.3 Connect the deli case to a calibrated energy test meter.Avoltage regulator may be req
30、uired during tests if the voltagesupply is not within 62.5 % of the manufacturers nameplatevoltage.9.4 Confirm (while the elements are energized) that thesupply voltage is within 62.5 % of the operating voltagespecified by the manufacturer. Record the test voltage for eachtest.NOTE 1It is the intent
31、 of the testing procedure in this test method toevaluate the performance of a deli case at its rated electric voltage. If theunit is rated dual voltage (that is, designed to operate at either 240 or 480V with no change in components), the voltage selected by the manufac-turer or tester, or both, sha
32、ll be reported. If a deli case is designed tooperate at two voltages without a change in the resistance of the heatingelements, the performance of the unit (for example, preheat time) maydiffer at the two voltages.9.5 Prepare the half and third-size pans for the holdingenergy rate test by attaching
33、a temperature sensor in the centerof each pan, 1.5 in. (38 mm) from the bottom. A convenientmethod is to have thermocouple probes with a stainless-steelprotective sheath fabricated in the shape shown in Fig. 1. Thesensing point is exposed and isolated thermally from thestainless-steel sheath. The pr
34、obe is strapped to the pan usingsteel shim stock welded to the pan using a strain gage welder.F2472052The thermocouple lead is long enough to allow connection tothe monitoring device while the pans are in the deli case.10. Procedure10.1 General:10.1.1 Record the following for each test run:10.1.1.1
35、Voltage while elements are energized,10.1.1.2 Ambient temperature, and10.1.1.3 Energy input rate during or immediately prior tothe test.10.1.2 For each test run, confirm that the peak input rate iswithin 65 % of the rated nameplate input. If the difference isgreater than 5 %, terminate testing and c
36、ontact the manufac-turer. The manufacturer may make appropriate changes oradjustments to the deli case.10.2 Energy Input Rate:10.2.1 Set the temperature controls to the maximum setting.10.2.2 Start recording time and energy consumption whenthe elements are energized and stop recording when theelemen
37、ts commence cycling.10.2.3 Confirm that the measured input rate or power, (kW)is within 5 % of the rated nameplate input or power (it is theintent of the testing procedures in this test method to evaluatethe performance of a deli case at its rated energy input rate). Ifthe difference is greater than
38、 5 %, terminate testing and contactthe manufacturer. The manufacturer may make appropriatechanges or adjustments to the deli case or supply another delicase for testing.10.3 Holding Temperature Calibration:10.3.1 Determine the number of 4-in. (100 mm) deephalf-size pans that will fit inside the hold
39、ing wells of the delicase. If necessary, mix small (third-size) pans with the half-sizepans to fill the wells. Use the minimum number of small panswhen making this determination. Note the number of each sizeof pan used.NOTE 2The objective of this step is to determine the smallest numberof pans requi
40、red to fill the deli case. For example, if the wells are 10 by32-in. (250 by 810-mm), then each well will contain two half-size pansand one third-size pan.10.3.2 Preheat deli case for1hatthemanufacturersrecommended settings. If not specified by the manufacturer,then set the controls halfway between
41、the minimum andmaximum settings.10.3.3 Prepare enough macaroni and cheese to fill thenumber of containers determined in 10.3.1 by followingdirections on the food packages.10.3.4 Quickly transfer 9.0 6 0.01 lb (4.1 6 0.005 kg) ofmacaroni and cheese to each half-size pan and 5.5 6 0.01 lb(2.5 6 0.005
42、kg) of macaroni and cheese to each small(third-size) pan. Place the filled pans into the deli cases heatedwells. If any small pans are used, these shall be located as closeto the center of the wells as possible.10.3.5 The temperature for each pan of macaroni and cheeseat the beginning of the test sh

44、 further testing, make a mark on the dialor a notation of this setting. Record the settings. This will bereferred to as the calibrated setting.10.4 Preheat Energy Consumption and Time:NOTE 3The preheat test should be conducted as the first applianceoperation on the day of the test, starting with the
45、 appliance at roomtemperature (73 6 3F (22 6 2C).10.4.1 Load the case with empty pans. If any small pans areused, these shall be located as close to the center of the wellsas possible.FIG. 1 Hotel Pan with Thermocouple Probe (not to scale)F247205310.4.2 Record ambient temperature and pan temperature
46、 atthe start of the test. Both the ambient and pan temperaturesshall be 73 6 3F (22 6 2C) at the start of the test.10.4.3 Turn the unit on with controls set to the calibratedsetting determined in 10.3.8. Begin recording pan temperatureand deli case energy consumption when the unit is turned on.10.4.
