The values for the relevant specified test conditions shall be recorded. For the calculation of refrigeration capacity – additional values might be needed: — Gas cooler outlet temperature in case of transcritical operation; — Temperature difference at the liquid subcooler or aftercooler in case of two-stage operation (flash tank without temperature difference).The value of the pressure p7 has to be adjusted according to Annex A to reach the requested temperature difference. For cyclic capacity control the deviations of Table 3 refer to the average values per control cycle. For operation with constant capacity, the deviations can be applied either — to every single recorded value or; — to the average values per minute or; — to the average of the values for the test period, ± 2 times standard deviation of the measured values. For wet operation at point 7, intermediate pressure port, the correction of Annex A can still be used. In this case the heat balance at the economizer heat exchanger can be used to determine the specific enthalpy of the refrigerant at point 7. For compressors with factory
