Scope
This standard provides a. methods of laboratory testing for obtaining performance data@ b. definitions of terms@ c. specification of data to be recorded@ d. calculation formulas@ e. test limits and tolerances@ and f. apparatus and instrumentation with associated accuracies. This standard does not cover a. methods of test for production or field use; b. heat exchangers that do not fully condense refrigerant vapor@ as in heat reclaim applications; c. methods for rating condensers; or d. external air resistance devices not provided by the manufacturer. PURPOSE This standard prescribes methods of laboratory testing remote mechanical-draft air-cooled refrigerant condensers.
