Methods for commissioning and performance checking of heat pumps and refrigeration equipment.

Author(s) : FAHLÉN P.

Summary

A Nordic study involving field testing of refrigeration and heat pump equipment has resulted in two in situ test methods. One is based on traditional external measurements of the energy inputs and outputs of the equipment. The other is based on internal measurements of temperatures and pressures inside the refrigeration system. The Nordic methods include requirements on accuracy and stability and methods to compare stated performance with measured data. To back up the internal measuring principle, a validation program was carried out with extensive laboratory measurements and sensitivity analysis. Deviations between the internal and external methods were typically less than 5%.
