Method of testing active sensible thermal energy devices based on thermal performance.

Author(s) : ASHRAE

Type of monograph: Standard/Recommendation

Summary

This standard supersedes ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 94.3-1986 (RA 2006). Its purpose is to provide a standard procedure for determining the thermal performance of sensible thermal energy storage devices used in heating, air conditioning, and service hot water systems. It applies to sensible-heat-type thermal energy storage devices in which a transfer fluid enters the device through a single inlet and leaves the device through a single outlet. Storage devices having more than one inlet and/or outlet may be tested according to this standard, but each flow configuration involving a single inlet and single outlet must be tested separately. This standard is not applicable to those configurations in which there is simultaneous flow into the storage device through more than one inlet and/or simultaneous flow out of the storage device through more than one outlet. The transfer fluid can be either a noncondensing gas or a liquid. This standard does not include factors relating to cost, life, reliability, or the consideration of requirements for interfacing with specific heating and cooling systems.
