Definitions All terms in this document will follow the standard industry definitions in the ASHRAE Wikipedia website (http:/wiki.ashrae.org/index.php/ASHRAEwiki) unless otherwise defined in this section. 3.1 Computer and Data Processing Room Air Cond
11、itioner (CDPR). A Computer and Data Processing Room Air Conditioner consists of one or more factory-made assemblies, which include a direct expansion evaporator or chilled water cooling coil, an air-moving device and air-filtering devices. The air conditioner may include a compressor, condenser, hum
12、idifier or reheating function. Where direct expansion equipment is provided in more than one assembly and the separate assemblies are to be used together, the requirements of rating outlined in this standard are based upon the use of matched assemblies. The functions of a CDPR air conditioner, eithe
13、r alone or in combination with a cooling and heating plant, are to provide air filtration, circulation, cooling, and optional reheating and humidity control. AHRI STANDARD 1361 (SI)-2013 2 3.2 Computer Room Air Conditioner (CRAC). Computer-room cooling units that utilize dedicated compressors and re
14、frigerant cooling coils rather than chilled-water coils. 3.3 Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH). Computer-room cooling units that utilize chilled-water coils for cooling rather than dedicated compressors. 3.4 Dehumidification Capacity. Dehumidification Capacity shall be stated as the units total laten
15、t removal when in the full dehumidification mode of operation.

Rating Requirements Section 6 describes all of the testing and rating requirements for this standard. 6.1 Cooling System Sta
37、ndard Capacity Ratings. Rated cooling is defined as 100% of the units maximum capacity and is sometimes referred to as a Standard Rating. Standard capacity ratings shall be established at the Standard Rating Conditions specified in rated cooling Test A of Table 1 for each application class that appl
38、ies for this equipment. Standard Cooling Capacity shall be stated as Net Total and Net Sensible Cooling Capacity ratings and shall be net values, reflecting the energy dissipated into the conditioned space by the fan system. 6.1.1 Values of Standard Capacity Ratings. These ratings shall be expressed
39、 in terms of kW with three significant digits (e.g., 10.0 kW and 100 kW). 6.1.2 Standard Rating Conditions. The conditions of test for standard ratings shall include the following. 6.1.2.1 Standard Cooling System Rating Temperatures. All indoor and outdoor conditions for testing are defined in Table
40、 1. Also defined in Table 1 are the various air and fluid temperatures that shall be used for heat rejection purposes. A unit shall be rated at all of the application classes that apply. 6.1.2.2 Voltage and Frequency. Nameplate voltages for 60 Hz shall be one or more of the following utilization vol
41、tages: 115, 200, 208, 230, 265, 460, and/or 575. Standard rating tests shall be performed at the unit nameplate rated voltages and frequency. For air conditioners with dual voltage ratings, standard rating tests shall be performed at both voltages or at the lower of the two voltages if only a single
42、 standard rating is to be published. If desired, 50 Hz ratings at 230 and/or 400 volts may be published using this standard but are not required. 6.1.2.3 Unit Airflow Rate. Standard cooling system ratings shall be determined at a total airflow rate (cooling coil airflow rate plus bypass airflow rate
43、 as configured or designed) delivered against at least the minimum external static pressures required by Section 6.1.2.6, as outlined below. The airflow rate for Class 1 and 2 applications shall not exceed 290 CMH/kW and Class 3 and 4 applications shall not exceed 220 CMH/kW. Air conditioners shall
44、be rated at those airflow rate specified by the manufacturer while in the rated cooling mode at conditions in Test A of Table 1. Once these conditions are established for this standard rating test, no further adjustment to the airflow rate shall be made. 6.1.2.4 Condenser/Air Cooled Fluid Cooler Air
45、flow Rate. Standard ratings for units that are air cooled or glycol cooled with an air-cooled fluid cooler shall be determined at the condenser/air-cooled fluid cooler airflow rate that is inherent to the air conditioner when operated with all the resistance elements associated with the inlet or dis
46、charge attachments that the manufacturer considers normal installation practice. If fan speed control, or partial fan operation in a multifan condenser, is utilized for condensing temperature control, it may be utilized in this test as defined by the manufacturer. Airflow rates must be expressed as
47、cubic meters per hour (CMH) of standard air (density = 1.2 kg/m3). AHRI STANDARD 1361 (SI)-2013 5 Table 1.
