A measurable physical quantity that characterizes the water side heat flow rate, kW. Capacity is defined as the mass flow rate of the water multiplied by the difference in enthalpy of wat

For this standard, the enthalpy change is approximated as the sensible heat transfer using specific heat and temperature difference, and in some calculations also the energy associated with water-side pressure losses. 3.3.1 Gross Heating Capaci
20、ty. The capacity of the Water Cooled Condenser as measured by the heat transfer from the refrigerant in the condenser. This value includes both the sensible heat transfer and the pressure drop effects of the water flow through the condenser. This value is used to calculate the test heat balance. (Re
21、fer to Equations C12a and C12b). 3.3.2 Gross Refrigerating Capacity. The capacity of the water cooled evaporator as measured by the heat transfer to the refrigerant in the evaporator. This value includes both the sensible heat transfer and the pressure drop effects of the water flow through the evap
22、orator. This value is used to calculate the test heat balance. (Refer to Equation C11). AHRI STANDARD 551/591 (SI)-2011 2 3.3.3 Net Heating Capacity. The capacity of the heating condenser available for useful heating of the thermal load external to the Water-Heating Package and is calculated using o

(Refer to Equation 6). 3.4 Compre
24、ssor Saturated Discharge Temperature. For single component and azeotrope refrigerants, it is the saturated temperature corresponding to the refrigerant pressure at the compressor discharge. For zeotropic refrigerants, it is the arithmetic average of the Dew Point and Bubble Point temperatures corres
25、ponding to refrigerant pressure at the compressor discharge. It is usually taken at or immediately downstream of the compressor discharge service valve (in either case on the downstream side of the valve seat), where discharge valves are used. 3.5 Condenser. A refrigeration system component which co
26、ndenses refrigerant vapor. Desuperheating and sub-cooling of the refrigerant may occur as well. 3.5.1 Air-Cooled Condenser. A component which condenses refrigerant vapor by rejecting heat to air mechanically circulated over its heat transfer surface causing a rise in the air temperature. 3.5.2 Evapo
27、ratively-Cooled Condenser.

A component which u
28、tilizes refrigerant-to-water heat transfer means, causing the refrigerant to condense and the water to be heated. 3.5.4 Water-Cooled Heat Reclaim Condenser.

31、ven set of Rating Conditions, expressed in kilowatts per tonRof Refrigeration kW/tonR. (Refer to Equation 3) 3.7.2 Heating Energy Efficiency 3.7.2.1 Heating Coefficient of Performance (COPH). A ratio of the Net Heating Capacity in watts to the power input values in watts at any given set of Rating C
32、onditions expressed in watts/watt. (Refer to Equation 4). 3.7.2.2 Heat Reclaim Coefficient of Performance (COPHR).

33、ning heat, qcd, if any, is rejected to the outdoor ambient. COPHRtakes into account the beneficial cooling capacity, qev, as well as the Heat Recovery capacity, qhrc(Refer to Equation 5).
