16、erred to Inside back coverBS4856-3:1975 BSI 11-1999 iii Foreword Part 3 of this British Standard has been prepared under the authority of the Refrigeration, Heating and Air Conditioning Industry Standards Committee in response to requests from industry. The Committee acknowledge their debt to the He
17、ating and Ventilating Research Association for the Associations work in formulating the methods of testing which appear in this standard. These methods cover a range of testing conditions which encompass the complete performance envelope of the individual items of equipment. The general approach to
18、the test methods described has been to consider the simplest practical methods of carrying out the measurements without any unnecessary sacrifice of accuracy. The standard relates to equipment with capacities of up to the equivalent of75kW. Where reference is made to British Standards, and if no met
19、ric version is available (e.g.BS1042 “Methods for the measurement of fluid flow in pipes”, etc.), then the appropriate British Standard in imperial units shall be used in conjunction with BS350 “Conversion factors and tables”; attention is also drawn to BS3763 “The International System of units (SI)
20、”. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document compris

22、1999 1 1 Scope This Part of this British Standard deals with methods of carrying out thermal and volumetric tests on units intended for use with additional ducting containing fluid to air heat exchangers and incorporating their own electrically powered fan system. The units may be either for heating
23、 or for cooling applications and the latter may be with or without dehumidification under frost-free conditions. The tests are to be carried out on units in an essentially clean condition. 2 References The titles of the British Standards referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cov
24、er. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply. 3.1 fan coil unit a fluid-to-air heat exchanger apparatus through which air is passed by its electrically powered fan system and which is intended for general commercial use in the field of generating comfor
25、t conditions. This unit may or may not contain filters 3.2 unit heater and unit cooler a fluid-to-air heat exchanger apparatus through which air is passed by an electrically powered fan system and which is intended for general industrial use in environmental control. This unit may or may not contain
26、 filters 3.3 essentially clean conditions those conditions applying when further cleaning of a unit does not affect the rating figures 3.4 reference air conditions temperature 20 C; absolute pressure1.013bar 1) ; relative humidity43%; density1.200kg/m 3 4 Operating conditions of units 4.1 The aerody
27、namic performance of a ducted unit and consequently the thermal output is to some extent dependent upon the temperature and location of the heat exchanger. If a unit is to be used for a heating duty then temperature effects will be most significant if the fan is located downstream of the heat exchan
28、ger. The rating tests described in the standard are for heating units with the fan located upstream of the coil, and for cooling units with the fan in any position. If the fan is located downstream of the coil then for heating units the modified test series described inAppendix A shall be applied. 4
29、.2 The primary medium shall be any of the following fluids. a) Water. b) Steam. c) Heat transfer fluid (excluding volatile refrigerants). 4.3 The operating conditions of the units shall lie within the following ranges. a) Chilled water from2 C to20 C. b) Low temperature hot water from40 C to95 C. c)

31、re tested whilst mounted in a way representative of their intended use. 4.6 The requirements of the methods for individual tests may be followed to determine the performance of a unit at one specified set of conditions; where the performance at conditions other than those of the actual test are to b
