5、 Standards Institute (ANSI), of which ASHRAE is a member and which has approved thisstandard as an ANS, as “substantial agreement reached by directly and materially affected interest categories. This signifies the concurrenceof more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus re
6、quires that all views and objections be considered, and that aneffort be made toward their resolution.” Compliance with this standard is voluntary until and unless a legal jurisdiction makes compliancemandatory through legislation.ASHRAE obtains consensus through participation of its national and in
7、ternational members, associated societies, and public review.ASHRAE Standards are prepared by a Project Committee appointed specifically for the purpose of writing the Standard. The ProjectCommittee Chair and Vice-Chair must be members of ASHRAE; while other committee members may or may not be ASHRA

TheASHRAE Board of Directors approved the reaffi
22、rmation onOct. 26, 1999 and the American National Standards Instituteon Oct. 26, 1999.This is a reaffirmation of Standard 58-1986 (RA 1999).This standard was prepared under the auspices of the AmericanHeating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.(ASHRAE). It may be used, in whole or in
23、 part, by an associa-tion or government agency with due credit to ASHRAE. Adher-ence is strictly on a voluntary basis and merely in the interestsof obtaining uniform standards throughout the industry.This 2014 version of the reaffirmation has no updatesincluded other than a revised foreword and Stan

SCOPE2.1 This standard(a) establishes a uniform method of testing for obtainingrating data,(b) specifies test equipment for performing such tests,(c)specifiesdatarequiredandcalculationstobeused,and(d) lists and defines the terms used in testing.2.2 For pu
26、rposes of this standard, room air conditioners andpackaged terminal air conditioners are defined in Section 3,“Definitions.”2.3 This standard does not prescribe methods of testing toobtain cooling capacities of room air conditioners or pack-aged terminal air conditioners.3.

CLASSIFICATIONS4.1 Two basic types of products are considered in this stan-dard, as seen in the title,
35、scope, and definitions: room air con-ditioners and packaged terminal air conditioners. For thepurpose of conciseness throughout the body of the text, thegeneral term “air conditioner” will be used.4.2 Two types of heating means commonly are employed inthese products: electrical resistance and heat p
36、ump (reversecycle). Additional means include steam and hot water.4.3 There are two basic methods of testing heat pump units:steady-state (no defrosting) and transient (with defrost cyclesrequired).4.4 There are two basic heating capacity calculations: thespecific heat method for no moisture change a

INSTRUMENTS5.1 Temperature-Measuring Instruments5.1.1 Temperature measurement and temperature-mea-suring instruments shall be in accordance with the latest issueof ASHRAE Standard 41.1,1the standard measurementsg
38、uide.5.1.2 Instrument accuracy shall be within the followinglimits:(1) wet- and dry-bulb temperatures, 0.1F( 0.05C),except for those instruments employed specificallyfor the defrost period, 0.5F ( 0.28C);(2) water temperatures, 0.1F ( 0.05 C); and(3) all other temperatures, 0.5F ( 0.28C).5.1.3 Innoc
39、aseshallthesmallestscaledivisionofthetem-perature-measuring instrument exceed twice the specifiedaccuracy. For example, for the specified accuracy of 0.1F( 0.05C), the smallest scale division shall not exceed 0.2F(0.11C).5.1.4 When instrument accuracy closer than 0.5F (0.28C) is specified, the instr
40、ument shall be calibrated bycomparisonwithathermometerthathasaNationalInstituteofStandards and Technology1(NIST) certification in the rangeof use or a thermometer with certification by another nation-ally recognized calibration authority that is traceable to NIST.5.1.5 Wet-bulb temperature shall be
41、read only under con-ditions that ensure sufficient time has been allowed for evap-orative equilibrium to be attained. For temperatures in the air-conditioning comfort range, a velocity of 1000 fpm (5.0 m/s) 20% is recommended; at temperatures below 45F (7.2C),velocities on the order of 700 fpm (3.5
42、m/s) are acceptable.These recommended airstream velocities apply to tempera-ture-sensing elements of a size common to mercury-in-glassthermometers of approximately 0.25 in. (6.3 mm) diameter.For other sensing element sizes, velocities may be adjustedfrom the recommended figures directly as the diame
43、ter of thetemperature-sensing element employed. For wet-bulb deter-minations at temperatures below freezing, a recommendedmethod is to freeze a coating of ice approximately 0.02 in.(0.5 mm) thick directly on the bulb of the thermometer orother temperature-sensing element. Another recommendedmethod i
44、s the air sample reheat technique.5.1.6 Whenever possible, temperature-measuring instru-ments used to measure the change in temperature shall bearranged so that they can be readily interchanged betweeninlet and outlet positions to improve accuracy.5.1.7 Temperature of fluids within conduits shall be
45、 mea-sured by inserting the temperature-measuring instrumentdirectly into the fluid or into a well inserted into the fluid. Aglass thermometer should not be inserted directly into thefluid, unless it is calibrated for pressure effect.5.2 Pressure-Measuring Instruments5.2.1 Pressure measurements may
46、be made with any pres-sure-measuring instrument having the required accuracy(e.g., manometer, pressure transducer, etc.).5.2.2 Instrument accuracy shall be 0.005 in. water(1.25 Pa).5.2.3 Calibration shall be with respect to a dead-weighttester or by comparison to a mercury column or other refer-ence
47、 standard traceable to the NIST.a5.2.4 In no case shall the smallest scale division of thepressure-measuring instrument exceed two times the speci-fied accuracy.5.3 Airflow and External ResistanceMeasuring Instruments5.3.1 Static pressure across the nozzles, velocity pressureat nozzle throats, and e
48、xternal resistances shall be measuredwith manometers or other pressure-measuring instrumentsthatpermitmeasurementswithin0.005in.water(1.25Pa).The smallest scale division shall not exceed two times thespecified accuracy.5.3.2 Areas of nozzles shall be determined by measuringtheir diameters to an accu
49、racy of 0.2% in four placesapproximately 45 apart around the nozzle and in each of twoplanes through the nozzle throat, one at the outlet and theother in the straight section near the radius.5.4 Electricity-Measuring Instruments5.4.1 Electricity measurements shall be made with indi-cating or integrating instruments.5.4.2 Instruments used for measuring electricity inputshall be accurate to 0.5% of the quantity measured.5.5 Water Flow-Measuring InstrumentsVolumemeasurementsshallbemadewitheitherofthefollow-ing instruments having an
