(b) With the water flow rate as determined for the standard rating condition. 6 Rating capacity tests 6.1 Basic principles 6.1.1 Heating capacity The heating capacity of direct exchange heat pumps shall be determined in accordance with the direct method at the water or brine heat exchanger. This shall be done by determination of the volume flow of the heat transfer medium and the inlet and outlet temperatures, taking into consideration the specific heat capacity and density of the heat transfer medium. The heating capacity shall be determined using the following formula: PH = q × ρ × cp × ∆T (1) where PH
is the heating capacity, in watts; q
is the volume flow rate, in cubic meters per second; ρ
is the density, in kilograms per cubic meter; cp
is the specific heat at constant pressure, in joules per kilogram per kelvin; ∆T
is the difference between inlet and outlet temperatures, in kelvin. The heating capacity shall be corrected for the heat from the circulating pump:  if the pump at the indoor heat exchanger is an integral part of the unit, the same power (calculated in 6.1.3.1) which is excluded from the total power input shall also be subtracted from the heating capacity; SIST EN 15879-1:2011



EN 15879-1:2011 (E) 9  if the pump at the indoor heat exchanger is not an integral part of the unit, the same power (calculated in 6.1.3.2) which is included in the effective total power input shall also be added to the heating capacity. 6.1.2 Cooling capacity The cooling capacity of direct exchange heat pumps shall be determined in accordance with the direct method at the water or brine heat exchanger. This shall be done by determination of the volume flow of the heat transfer medium and the inlet and outlet temperatures, taking into consideration the specific heat capacity and density of the heat transfer medium. The cooling capacity shall be determined using the following formula: PC = q × ρ × cp × ∆T (2) where PC
is the cooling capacity, in watts; q
is the volume flow rate, in cubic meters per second; ρ
is the density, in kilograms per cubic meter; cp
is the specific heat at constant pressure, in joules per kilogram per kelvin; ∆T
is the difference between inlet and outlet temperatures, in kelvin. The cooling capacity shall be corrected for the heat from the circulating pump:  if the pump at the indoor heat exchanger is an integral part of the unit, the same power (calculated in 6.1.3.1) which is excluded from the total power input shall also be added to the cooling capacity;  if the pump at the indoor heat exchanger is not an integral part of the unit, the same power (calculated in 6.1.3.2) which is included in the effective total power input shall also be subtracted from the cooling capacity. 6.1.3 Power input of liquid pumps If the liquid pump is integrated in the unit, it shall be connected for operation. When the liquid pump is delivered by the manufacturer apart from the unit, it shall be connected for operation according to the manufacturer’s instructions and be considered as an integral part of the unit. 6.1.3.1 If a liquid pump is an integral part of the unit, only a fraction of the input to the pump motor shall be included in the effective power absorbed by the unit. The fraction which is to be excluded from the total power absorbed by the unit shall be calculated from the following formula: ûη×=[]eLPqpPW (3) where η is the efficiency of the liquid pump according to EN 14511-3; ∆pe is the measured external static pressure difference as defined in EN 14511-1, in pascal; q is the nominal heat transfer medium flow rate, in cubic meters per second. 6.1.3.2 If no liquid pump is provided with the unit, the proportional power input which is to be included in the effective power absorbed by the unit, shall be calculated using the following formula: SIST EN 15879-1:2011



EN 15879-1:2011 (E) 10 ()[]∆η×−=iLPqpPW (4) where η is the efficiency of the liquid pump according to EN 14511-3; ∆pi is the measured internal static pressure difference as defined in EN 14511-1, in pascal; q is the nominal heat transfer medium flow rate, in cubic meters per second. 6.2 Test equipment and facility 6.2.1 General requirements The test apparatus shall be designed such that all requirements on adjustment of set values, stability criteria and uncertainties of measurement according to this European Standard are satisfied. 6.2.2 Indoor heat exchanger The test apparatus shall be able to provide and maintain constant during the tests the temperatures and flow rates at the values specified in Table 3 and/or Table 4 with the requirements of Table 5. 6.2.3 Brine-bath requirements The in-ground heat exchanger shall be immersed in a brine-bath. An informative description of the brine-bath is given in Annex A. The test apparatus shall be able to provide and maintain constant during the tests the brine temperature in the bath at the values specified in Table 3 and Table 4 with the requirements of Table 5. Monoethylene glycol shall be used as antifreeze agent in the brine with a concentration of 33 % volume per volume. The velocity of the brine in the bath shall be kept as low as possible not to enhance the heat transfer between the brine and the in-ground heat exchanger too much. 6.3 Installation and connection of the test object 6.3.1 Installation The module of the heat pump shall be connected according to the manufacturer's installation and/or operation manual. The in-ground heat exchanger shall be immersed in a brine-bath. The length of the loops in the bath shall be as stated by the manufacturer. The distance between the neighbouring windings of the loops shall be larger then 0,035 m, measured form the centres of the adjacent pipes. The in-ground heat exchanger shall be installed in accordance with the following requirements:  the number and the length of the loops as well as their connection to the heat pump module shall be in accordance with the manufacturer instructions;  the maximum length of the refrigerant lines between the brine bath and the heat pump module shall not exceed 7 meters;  the refrigerant lines shall be installed so that the difference in elevation between the lowest and the highest point of each of the lines does not exceed 0,3 m plus the height of the heat pump module itself; SIST EN 15879-1:2011



EN 15879-1:2011 (E) 11  the thermal insulation of the refrigerant lines shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 6.3.2 Refrigerant charge The charge of refrigerant is dependent on the length of the loops of the in-ground heat exchanger. The charge shall be defined for each standard rating condition and remains constant during the test. If the unit is operating in both heating and cooling mode, the charge is defined for the heating mode and shall remain the same for the cooling mode. If the unit is operating in the cooling mode only, the refrigerant charge is defined for this mode. Heat pump start-up should be performed by a manufacturer's representative. Otherwise, the test laboratory shall charge the unit according to the prescriptions of the manufacturer, which shall include:  a pre-charge quantity of refrigerant for the chosen standard rating condition;  the superheating temperature to be obtained;  the setting of the expansion device or other components for achieving a correct refrigerant charge and operation of the heat pump. 6.3.3 Setting of inverter type control units For inverter type control units, if the manufacturer gives instructions for the setting of the frequency for each rating condition, this setting shall be done. 6.4 Uncertainties of measurement The uncertainties of measurement shall not exceed the values specified in Table 5.
