Household refrigerating appliances. Characteristics and test methods. Energy consumption and volume
Also Known As:
A standard called BS EN 62552-3:2020 outlines the main traits and testing procedures for home refrigeration equipment. The standard concentrates on the volume measurement and energy consumption of this equipment. It offers instructions on how to identify energy consumption traits and calculate energy consumption under various environmental and usage circumstances. The standard also outlines how to measure the volume of refrigeration appliances.
To account for new testing requirements, product configurations, and technological improvements such as electronic controls and computer-based data processing equipment, the standard has undergone major upgrades and revisions. The methodology for calculating energy usage has undergone a thorough revision, and internal checks have been added to guarantee the quality and accuracy of the data. The standard also advises combining multiple energy components to estimate energy consumption under various circumstances. It also provides a way to quantify various energy components.
The standard for measuring energy consumption stipulates that no thermal mass shall be incorporated in any compartment, and the temperatures of the compartments are determined by the average of air temperature sensors. The standard also provides 16°C and 32°C as the two specified ambient temperatures for measuring energy usage. In addition, a load processing energy efficiency test has been added, and the standard also includes tests for wine storage appliances.
