ASHRAE Guidelines are developed under a review process, identifying
5、a guideline for the design, testing, application, or evaluationof a specific product, concept, or practice. As a guideline it is not definitive but encompasses areas where there may be a variety of approaches,none of which must be precisely correct. ASHRAE Guidelines are written to assist profession
6、als in the area of concern and expertise ofASHRAEs Technical Committees and Task Groups.ASHRAE Guidelines are prepared by project committees appointed specifically for the purpose of writing Guidelines. The projectcommittee chair and vice-chair must be members of ASHRAE; while other committee member
7、s may or may not be ASHRAE members, allmust be technically qualified in the subject area of the Guideline.Development of ASHRAE Guidelines follows procedures similar to those for ASHRAE Standards except that (a) committee balance isdesired but not required, (b) an effort is made to achieve consensus
8、 but consensus is not required, (c) Guidelines are not appealable, and(d) Guidelines are not submitted to ANSI for approval.The Manager of Standards of ASHRAE should be contacted for:a. interpretation of the contents of this Guideline,b. participation in the next review of the Guideline,c. offering

28、SUREMENTS4.1 Types of Measurements. Measurements are categorizedas either primary measurements or derived measurements.4.1.1 Primary. A primary measurement is one that isobtained directly from the measurement sensor. This can betemperature, pressure, speed, etc. The key is that a primarymeasurement
29、is of a single item from a specific measurementdevice.4.1.2 Derived. A derived measurement is one that is cal-culated using one or more measurements. This calculation canoccur at the sensor level (an energy meter uses flow and tem-perature difference to report an energy rate). It can be done bya dat
30、a logger, or it can occur during data processing. Derivedmeasurements can use both primary and other derived mea-surements.4.2 Categories of Data. There are two primary categoriesof data: type and sample.4.2.1 Type. The type of data is determined based on thedependence of the data on time and can be
31、 either stationary ortime dependent.4.2.1.1 Stationary. Stationary data do not change withtime. Examples of stationary data include the volume of atank, the area of a room, the length of ductwork, or the size ofa building. Therefore, whenever the measurement is repli-cated, the result should be the
32、same, independent of time,within the bounds of measurement uncertainty.4.2.1.2 Time Dependent. Time-dependent data varieswith time. Examples of time-dependent data include the tem-perature of a space, the chilled water flow to a building, andthe electrical power use of a facility. A time-dependent r
33、ead-ing taken now would probably be different than a readingtaken in 5 min, a day, or a year. Time-dependent data can berecorded either as time-series or cross-sectional data.4.2.1.2.1 Time-Series Data. Time-series data con-sists of a multiplicity of data taken at a single point or locationover fixe
34、d intervals of time.4.2.1.2.2 Cross-Sectional Data. Cross-sectional dataare data taken at multiple points at a single instant in time.4.2.2 Sample. The sample of data is determined based onthe number of measurements taken and can be single-sampleor multisample.4.2.2.1 Single-Sample. A single sample
35、is one or morereadings taken under identical conditions at the same or differ-ent times. Many experiments that appear to be multisample areactually, in part, single-sample experiments. If the same instru-ment is used for a set of observations, the fixed (bias) errorinherent in the reading and caused
36、 by the instrument orobserver will persist, no matter how many times each reading isrepeated.4.2.2.2 Multisample. A multisample is a repeated mea-surement of a fixed quantity using different observers, differ-ent instrumentation, or both. In multisample measurements,the uncertainty and reliability c
37、an be evaluated through theuse of statistics. Merely taking repeated readings with thesame procedure and equipment does not provide multisampledata.5. THE EXPERIMENTAL PROCESS5.1 The intent of this section is to provide a general over-view of the relationship between equipment selection, dataanalysi
38、s, and reporting of results obtained from engineeringexperiments. A well-planned experiment requires that theexperimental equipment and procedures be selected to obtainthe required results as a function of the measured variables. Adetailed experimental plan and measurement methodologymust be develop
39、ed. The basic experimental process involvesthe following steps: 1. Identify experimental goals and acceptable accuracy.2. Identify the important variables and appropriate relation-ships.3. Establish the quantities that must be measured and theirexpected range of variation.4. Tentatively select senso
40、rs/instrumentation appropriate forthe task. 5. Document uncertainty of each measured variable.6. Perform a preliminary uncertainty analysis.7. Study uncertainty results and reassess the ability of themeasurement methods and instrumentation to meet accept-able accuracy.8. Install selected instrumenta
41、tion in accord with relevantstandards or best practices.9. Perform initial verification of data quality.10. Collect experimental data subject to ongoing qualitycontrol criteria.11. Accomplish data reduction and analysis.12. Perform final uncertainty analysis.13. Report experimental results.5.2 Ident
42、ify Experimental Goals and Acceptable Accuracy5.2.1 A well-planned experiment begins with identifica-tion of experimental goals that can be achieved within thetime and budget available for the experiment. Dependingupon the goals, the quantity of data collected and the type ofinstrumentation required
43、 are the primary variables that willaffect the cost for the experiment. An essential part of estab-lishing realistic goals is to decide upon the required accuracyof the results. A higher accuracy results in a lower uncertainty.See Section 5.6 for detailed guidance on setting up the exper-iment and d
44、ocumenting the goals.5.3 Identify Variables and Relationships5.3.1 To further refine the goals of the experiment, theentire list of relevant measurable variables should be exam-ined. Not all of the measurable variables are independent.Therefore, as part of this step, identify the relationships thatw
45、ill limit the measurements or otherwise affect their validity.For example, in a steam-to-water heat exchanger, the capacitycan be determined based on the measurement of hot waterflow rate and inlet-to-outlet temperature difference, with theassumption of a constant heat capacity at the mean tempera-t
46、ure between the inlet and outlet. American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (www.ashrae.org). For personal use only.

47、4 ASHRAE Guideline 2-20105.3.2 Alternatively, capacity can be determined by mea-suring steam flow rate, inlet enthalpy, and outlet enthalpy.Since each enthalpy requires measurement of pressure andtemperature, more instrumentation and measurements arerequired, with the potential of increased uncertai
48、nty in theresults. The effect on uncertainty of more instrumentation andmeasurements for enthalpy could be larger than the effect ofassuming a constant heat capacity.5.4 Establish Measured Variables and Limits5.4.1 For each measured variable, determine its theoreti-cal limits and expected bounds to
49、match the selected instru-ment limits.5.4.1.1 Theoretical Limits. These are the limits of themeasured quantities based on definitions or laws of nature.For example, the relative humidity must always range from0% to 100%.5.4.1.2 Expected Bounds. These are the upper andlower bounds of the measured quantities and must be docu-mented to aid in identifying potentially false or physicallyimpossible measurements as part of ongoing quality control.For example, if the temperature of a conditioned room isbelow 10C (50F) or above 32C (90F), it is likely that theobservation is in error.5.4
