These ratings shall be expressed only in terms of watts in multiples of 500 W for units with Standard Ratings of 117,000 W and under.

For condensing units with dual nameplate voltage ratings, Standard Rating tests shall be performed at both voltages, or at the lower of the two voltages, if only a single Standard Rating is to be published.6.1.5 Cond
31、enser Airflow Rate. All Standard Ratings for condensing units shall be determined at the condenser airflow rate specified by the manufacturer where the fan drive is adjustable. Where the fan drive is direct-connected, Standard Ratings shall be determined at the condenser airflow flow established whe
32、n the condensing unit is operated with all of the associated inlet louvers and any duct work and attachments considered by the manufacturer as normal installation practice. Once established, the airflow circulation rate of the condensing unit shall remain unchanged throughout all tests prescribed he
33、rein, except as altered by automatic controls. 6.2 Part-Load Rating. Integrated Part-Load Value (IPLV) is in effect until January 1, 2010. See Appendix C for the method and calculation of IPLV. Effective January 1, 2010, all units rated in accordance with this standard shall include an Integrated Co
34、efficient of Performance (ICOP), even if they only have one stage of capacity control. AHRI STANDARD 366 (SI)-2009_ 4 6.2.1 General. The ICOP is intended to be a measure of merit for the part load performance of the unit. Each building may have different part load performance due to local occupancy
35、schedules, building construction, building location and ventilation requirements. For specific building energy analysis an hour-by-hour analysis program should be used. 6.2.2 Integrated Coefficient of Performance (ICOP). For equipment covered by this standard, the ICOP shall be calculated using test
36、s, derived data, and the following formula. ICOP = 0.020 A + 0.617 B + 0.238 C + 0.125 D 1 Where: A = COP at 100% capacity at design conditions B = COP at 75% capacity and reduced ambient (refer to Table 3) C= COP at 50% capacity and reduced ambient (refer to Table 3) D= COP at 25% capacity and redu
37、ced ambient (refer to Table 3) The ICOP rating requires that the unit efficiency be determined at 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% load at the conditions specified in Table 3. If the unit, due to its capacity control logic cannot be operated at the 75%, 50%, or 25% load points, then the 75%, 50%, or 25% perfo
38、rmance should be determined by plotting the efficiency vs. the percent load and using straight line segments to connect the actual performance points and interpolation to determine the rating performance at 75%, 50% and 25%. For the interpolation, an actual capacity point equal to or less than the r
39、equired rating point must be used to plot the curves. Extrapolation of the data is not allowed. If the unit cannot be unloaded to the 75%, 50%, or 25% load, then the unit should be run at the minimum step of unloading at the condensing unit conditions defined for each of the rating load points and t
40、hen adjust the efficiency for cyclic performance using the following equation. D C CF CTLFCapacityCOPLF(C (P P ) P=+2 Where: Capacity = Measured capacity (watts) at the lowest machine unloading point operating at the desired part load rating condition. PC= Compressor power (watts) at the lowest mach
41、ine unloading point operating at the desired part load rating condition. PCD = Condenser fan power (watts), if applicable at the minimum step of unloading at the desired part load rating condition PCT = Control circuit power and any auxiliary loads (watts). CD = is the degradation coefficient to acc
42、ount for cycling of the compressor for capacity less than the minimum step of capacity. CD should be determined using the following equation. 3 DC ( 0.13 LF) 1.13= +Where: LF = Fractional “on” time for last stage at the desired load point %Load (Full Load Unit Net Capacity)100LFPart Load Unit Net Ca
