It is merelyinformative and does not contain requirements necessaryfor conformance to the st
22、andard. It has not beenprocessed according to the ANSI requirements for astandard and may contain material that has not beensubject to public review or a consensus process.Unresolved objectors on informative material are notoffered the right to appeal at ASHRAE or ANSI.)FOREWORDThis standard provide
23、s rules for the testing of air-to-airheat/energy exchangers in both the laboratory and in thefield. Application of this standard should be determined byreviewing introductory Sections 1 through 3. Section 4details the necessary steps to be taken in the performanceevaluation of a heat/energy exchange
24、r, including a pretestuncertainty analysis. (Informative Appendix B presents acomprehensive discussion of the original definition, test pro-cedure, and application of effectiveness as a dimensionlessratio and how it has been modified to characterize air-to-airheat/energy exchangers. A brief discussi
25、on of the definitionand different test procedures and calculations for EATR andOACF rounds out this appendix.) Discussion of laboratorytesting begins in Section 5 and continues in Sections 6through 8. (Informative Appendix C shows how test condi-tions can be selected to meet specified uncertainty li
26、mits.)The quality of test data is covered in Section 6, which out-lines the use of measurement inequalities to detect and rejectinvalid tests. Section 7 sets out the uncertainty levels that aperformance test must satisfy to be acceptable. A discussionof the allowable instruments and measurement meth
27、ods iscontained in Section 8. Various other standards are men-tioned as being acceptable for use with instrument measure-ments. Performance calculations and test result reportingare presented in Sections 9 and 10, respectively. Field testingconditions are discussed and specified in Informative Appen
28、-dix D. The extrapolation of test performance data is dis-cussed in Informative Appendix E.Versions of this standard prior to the 2008 edition werevery prescriptive in measurement processes and yielded test-ing uncertainty within generally acceptable limits. This newedition, as does the 2008 edition
29、 of the standard, insteadstipulates the desired uncertainty, while allowing laborato-ries the flexibility of selecting various testing apparatus aslong as the uncertainty limits are satisfied. It should be notedthat laboratories must evaluate their testing apparatus toensure their instrumentation ac
30、hieves the minimum requiredtest uncertainty.In preparing this edition, significant validation of thetest inequality equations and limits was performed to be cer-tain that (a) the tests could be performed on all technologieswithin the standards scope; (b) the uncertainties of testresults would be as
31、low as practically possible; and (c) theinequality equations are robust in detecting as many sourcesof error as possible.This edition provides reformatted versions of the funda-mental effectiveness Equations 1 and 2 and the developedeffectiveness equation (30). An attempt was made to clarifythe rela
32、tionship of effectiveness calculations with respect tothe supply and exhaust airstreams.An alternative approach to calculating effectiveness,using both the supply and exhaust effectiveness, was firstpresented in the 2008 edition. To eliminate ambiguity, it hasbeen moved from the normative body of th
33、e standard to aninformative appendix.This edition also discusses the impacts of testing at con-ditions in which condensate and frosting can occur on testvalidity.1. PURPOSEThe purpose of this standard is toa. establish a uniform method of test for obtaining perfor-mance data for air-to-air heat/ener
34、gy exchangers;b. specify the test conditions, data required, uncertaintyanalysis to be performed, calculations to be used, andreporting procedures for testing the performance of anair-to-air heat/energy exchanger; andc. specify the types of test equipment for performing suchtests.2. SCOPE2.1 This st
35、andard prescribes the methods for testing the per-formance of air-to-air heat/energy exchangers.2.2 In this standard, an air-to-air heat/energy exchanger is adevice to transfer heat and/or water vapor from one airstreamto another.The types of air-to-air heat/energy exchangers cov-ered by this standa
36、rd area. regenerative energy exchangers (including heat wheelsand total energy wheels),b. heat pipe exchangers,c. thermosiphon exchangers,d. recovery loop exchangers (also called run-aroundexchangers), ande. fixed-plate exchangers.2.3 The scope of this standard also includes both laboratoryand field
37、 tests, provided that appropriate levels of uncertaintycan be achieved when testing.2.4 A test is deemed to be within the scope of this standardif both a pretest uncertainty analysis and a posttest uncertaintyanalysis yield satisfactory uncertainty limits.3.
