4.1 General requirements

4.1.1 Non-condensable gas in the test system is eliminated. It is confirmed that there is no leakage of refrigerant.

4.1.2 There shall be sufficient refrigerant in the system. There shall be certain amount of lubricating oil necessary for normal operation in the compressor.

4.1.3 An effective oil separator shall be arranged on the exhaust pipe so that the oil content of the refrigerant liquid in the refrigeration cycle of the compressor does not exceed 1.5% (by mass). Refer to Annex A for the measurement method.

4.1.4 The pressure and temperature of the suction and exhaust ports of the compressor shall be measured at the same measuring point, which shall be at the straight pipe section 0.3m away from the suction and exhaust shut-off valves, or at the straight pipe section 0.15m away from the ends of the suction and exhaust pipe orifices for a closed compressor without valve.

4.1.5 There shall be no abnormal air flow around the compressor under test.

4.1.6 The equipment extracting refrigerant-oil mixture sample for measuring oil content is provided.

4.2 Test requirements

4.2.1 There are two methods of refrigerating capacity performance test for single-stage compressors, i.e., X method and Y method, which are subjected to simultaneous measurement; the deviation between test results obtained by X method and Y method shall be within ±4%, and the average of test results calculated by the two methods shall prevail.

4.2.2 Only one test method (X method or Y method) may be adopted for the heating capacity test of a compressor or the refrigerating capacity test of a compressor with economizer or flash-tank.

4.2.3 During the compressor, the system shall establish a heat balance state; generally, the test duration is not less than 1h. The measured data shall be recorded after the test conditions have been stabilized for half an hour; measurement is carried out every other 15min until the data of four measurements are in accordance with those specified in Table 2, 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. If the test data is automatically acquired by a computer, the continuous acquisition duration of measured data is not less than 30min. The pressure, temperature, flow and liquid level are allowed to be regulated slightly during the record cycle of test data.

4.2.5 Selection of X method and Y method

For a subcritical cycle compressor, any of the performance test methods A, B, C, D1, D2, F, G, and K may be used as X method.

For a transcritical cycle compressor, any of the performance test methods A, B, C, D1, D2 and K may be used as X method.

Any test method, except these listed below, may also be used as Y method.

a) Any test method used as X method;

b) Any method with measured quantity the same as that of X method. For example, if X method is used for measuring the gas flow of the compressor exhaust pipe, other test methods for measuring the gas flow of the compressor exhaust pipe are no longer selected as Y method (such as Method D2 cannot be combined with Method K);

c) Any method with measurement principle the same as that of X method. For example, if D1 refrigerant gas flowmeter method is used as X method, D2 refrigerant gas flowmeter method is no longer selected as Y method.
