DIN EN 14825:2013-12

This standard has been revised in regards to Ecodesign Regulation 206/2012. This European Standard covers air conditioners, heat pumps and liquid chilling packages. It applies to factory made units defined in EN 14511-1, except single-duct, control cabinet and close control air conditioners. This European Standard gives the calculation methods for the determination of reference seasonal energy efficiency in cooling mode, SEER and SEERon and reference seasonal coefficient of performance in heating mode, SCOP, SCOPon and SCOPnet. Such calculation methods may be based on calculated or measured values. In case of measured values, this European Standard covers the test methods for determination of capacities, EER and COP values during active mode at part load conditions. It also covers test methods for electric power consumption during thermostat-off mode, standby mode, off-mode and crankcase heater mode. This European Standard serves as an input for the calculation of the system energy efficiency in heating mode of specific heat pump systems in buildings, as stipulated in the standard EN 15316-42. This document (EN 14825:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 113 "Heat pumps and air conditioning units", the secretariat of which is held by AENOR (Spain). The German body involved in its preparation is Working Committee NA 044-00-06 AA "Elektromotorisch angetriebene Wärmepumpen und Luftkonditionierungsgeräte" ("Heat pumps with electrically driven compressors and air conditioners") of the DIN Standards Committee Refrigeration Technology (FNKä).
