STANDARDS FOR WHICH WE ARE COGNIZANT:
ANSI/ASHRAE 40-2002 (RA 2006): Methods of Testing for Rating Heat Operated Unitary
Air-Conditioning and Heat-Pump Equipment
|
Purpose: This standard provides test methods for determining
the heating and cooling output capacities and energy inputs of unitary air-conditioning and
heat pump equipment that is heat operated. These tests may be used as a basis for
rating such equipment, but it is not the purpose of this standard to specify methods of
establishing ratings.
SCOPE: This standard applies to heat-operated unitary air conditioners and
heat pumps consisting of one or more assemblies, including engine-driven systems. Where such
equipment is provided in more than one assembly, the separate assemblies are designed to be
used together. |
ANSI/ASHRAE 182-2008: Method of Testing Absorption Water-Chilling and Water-Heating Packages
companion to ARI 560-2000: Absorption Water Chilling and Water Heating Packages
«download» from AHRI
|
PURPOSE: The purpose of this standard is to prescribe a method of testing absorption
water-chilling and water-heating absorption packages to verify capacity and thermal energy input
requirements at a specific set of operating conditions.
SCOPE: This standard applies to: (a) Absorption packages used to chill and/or heat water.
(b) Testing that will occur where proper instrumentation and load stability can be provided. It is not the
intent of this standard to provide for testing in typical field installations, where steady-state conditions
are often difficult to achieve and adequate provisions for measurement are not made. |
Go to the ASHRAE web
site to purchase copies of these and other standards through the online Bookstore. Standards
are also sold as downloadable, PDF documents through the Document Download section of the online
Bookstore. Draft standards are available as downloadable, PDF documents through the Standards
section of the ASHRAE web site during their public review period.
