Introduction
During aircraft operations the preparation of drinks in the cabin is mandatory to maintain the catering
on board during flight. There exist different equipment types to prepare different kinds of drinks. While
beverage makers are used as equipment to prepare coffee and tea, water heaters are used to tap hot
water for other use. To meet the target to determine an energy consumption index for aircraft beverage
maker products the purpose of this document is to standardize the test procedure and efficiency
calculations for this equipment type.
1 Scope
This document specifies a test procedure to identify performance characteristics and a weight rating of
beverage maker products used on aircraft. Furthermore, it specifies the calculation procedure to
determine an energy consumption index and a performance index. The effect of the beverage makers on
beverage quality is not addressed in this document.
