1 Scope
This part of EN 14511 specifies the test conditions for the rating of air and water cooled air conditioners, liquid
chilling packages, air-to-air, water-to-air, air-to-water and water-to-water heat pumps with electrically driven
compressors when used for space heating and/or cooling. It also specifies test conditions for heat recovery
operation of multisplit systems.

This European Standard applies to factory-made units that can be ducted.

This standard applies to factory-made liquid chilling packages with integral condensers or for use with remote
condensers.

This standard applies to factory-made units of either fixed capacity or variable capacity by any means.

Packaged units, single split and multisplit systems are covered by this standard. Single duct and double duct units
are covered by the standard.

In the case of units consisting of several parts, the standard applies only to those designed and supplied as a
complete package, except for liquid chilling packages with remote condenser.

This standard is primarily intended for water and brine chilling packages but can be used for other liquid subject to
agreement.

This standard applies to air-to-air air conditioners which evaporate the condensate on the condenser side.

The units having their condenser cooled by air and by the evaporation of external additional water are not
covered by this standard.

This standard does not apply to units using transcritical cycles, e.g. with CO2 as refrigerant.

Installations used for heating and/or cooling of industrial processes are not within the scope of this standard.

NOTE Part load testing of units is dealt with in CEN/TS 14825.

When using the calorimeter room method, pressure equilibrium between indoor and outdoor compartments shall be
obtained by introducing into indoor compartment, air at the same rating temperature conditions.
c
The pressure difference between the two compartments of the calorimeter room shall not be greater than 1,25 Pa. This
pressure equilibrium can be achieved by using an equalising device or by creating an open space area in the separation
partition wall, which dimensions shall be calculated for the maximum airflow of the unit to be tested. If an open space is
created in the partition wall, an air sampling device or several temperature sensors shall be used to measure the
temperature of the air from the outdoor compartment to the indoor compartment

conditioners.
For reverse cycle units, the heating capacity and the efficiency class shall be determined from the standard
rating conditions "Outside air / recycled air" indicated in Table 3.

A.2.6 Other appliances

Single-duct units operating in the heating mode to which Table 3.3 of Annex IV of Directive 2002/31/EC refers
are not covered by EN 14511.

A.3 Test procedure

When the present standard is used for the energy labelling of air conditioners and heat pumps below 12 kW,
the cooling / heating capacities, power input and EER/COP as well as the energy efficiency class of a product
shall be determined by using exclusively the calorimeter room method.

For ducted units, the settings of the air flow rate and external static pressure shall be made prior to the cooling
/ heating capacity tests, according to EN 14511-3:2007, 4.4.1. Once determined, the static pressure shall be
set, with dry coil, by adjusting to the air discharge area of the unit, a length of duct equipped with a damper
which position shall not be changed during the capacity tests.

The length of duct and the distance of the damper from the discharge section of the unit shall conform to the
requirements of EN 14511-3:2007, B.2.1.

A.4 Tolerances permitted on declared values

A.4.1 General

The following requirements apply to the declared values.

The requirements for the uncertainties of measurement of 4.3 of EN 14511-3:2007 shall be respected.

A.4.2 First testing

The performance published data shall be accepted as valid when a sample of a model, tested in accordance
with the present standard, shall meet the following criteria for cooling and heating mode as applicable:

Tested cooling and heating capacity ≥ 0,88 X declared capacity

Tested EER ≥ 0,85 X declared EER

Tested COP ≥ 0,85 X declared COP

A.4.3 Second testing

If the result of test on capacity and/or EER/COP carried out on the first appliance is not in compliance with the
requirements given in A.4.2, a second test shall be carried out on one other appliance. This second test shall
meet the following criteria for cooling and heating mode as applicable:

Tested cooling and heating capacity ≥ 0,88 X declared capacity

Tested EER ≥ 0,85 X declared EER

Tested COP ≥ 0,85 X declared COP
