It supersedes the previous edition, published in 2009.Th

40、is Standard, which covers factory-assembled portable air conditioners (i.e., air-sink, air-source, and water-sink units), provides a means of comparing the energy efficiency of portable air conditioners when they are tested under uniform conditions.CSA Group acknowledges that the development of this

41、 Standard was made possible, in part, by the financial support of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Hydro-Qubec, the Ontario Power Authority, and the Canadian Electricity Association.This Standard has been harmonized with ANSI/AHAM PAC-1-2009, Portable Air Conditioner

42、s, to the greatest extent possible and with other comparable North American Standards, e.g., ANSI/ASHRAE 128-2011, Method of Rating Portable Air Conditioners.This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard.This Standard was prepared by t

43、he Subcommittee on Cooling Performance of Portable Air Conditioners, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration and the Strategic Steering Committee on Performance, Energy Efficiency, and Renewables, and has been formally approved b

44、y the Technical Committee.Notes: (1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows.(2) Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the Standard t

45、o judge its suitability for their particular purpose.(3) This Standard was developed by consensus, which is defined by CSA Policy governing standardization Code of good practice for standardization as “substantial agreement. Consensus implies much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily una

46、nimity”. It is consistent with this definition that a member may be included in the Technical Committee list and yet not be in full agreement with all clauses of this Standard.(4) To submit a request for interpretation of this Standard, please send the following information to inquiriescsagroup.org

47、and include “Request for interpretation” in the subject line:(a) define the problem, making reference to the specific clause, and, where appropriate, include an illustrative sketch;(b) provide an explanation of circumstances surrounding the actual field condition; and(c) where possible, phrase the r

48、equest in such a way that a specific “yes” or “no” answer will address the issue.Committee interpretations are processed in accordance with the CSA Directives and guidelines governing standardization and are available on the Current Standards Activities page at standardsactivities.csa.ca.(5) This St
