Condensing units for refrigeration - Rating conditions, tolerances and presentation of manufacturer's performance data
This European Standard specifies the rating conditions, tolerances and presentation of manufacturer's performance data for condensing units for refrigeration with compressors of the positive-displacement type. These include single stage compressors and single and two stage compressors having an integrated means of fluid sub cooling. This is required so that a comparison of different condensing units can be made. The data relate to the refrigerating capacity and power absorbed and include requirements for part-load performance where applicable.

Overview
SIST EN 13215:2017/kFprA1:2020 is a European standard that specifies rating conditions, tolerances, and the standardized presentation of manufacturer's performance data for refrigeration condensing units using positive-displacement type compressors. The guidance applies to both single-stage and two-stage compressors, including those with integrated fluid subcooling. This standard promotes consistent comparison across refrigeration condensing units by providing clear definitions, rating methods, and data presentation requirements. Compliance with SIST EN 13215 ensures that manufacturers report refrigeration capacity, absorbed power, and part-load performance, enhancing transparency and product comparability in the market.
Key Topics
- Rating Conditions and Reference Points
- Defines how to determine and report the rating conditions for refrigeration condensing units.
- Stipulates reference points including evaporating and condensing temperatures.
- Tolerances
- Specifies acceptable deviations for measured and declared performance data.
- Ensures that reported values are within recognized limits for accuracy and reliability.
- Data Presentation
- Provides detailed requirements for presenting performance data in both tabular and graphical formats.
- Prescribes information such as intervals for evaporating temperatures and standard reference points.
- Performance Data
- Addresses methods for reporting refrigerating capacity and power consumption.
- Includes requirements for part-load and seasonal performance data, where applicable.
- Terminology and Definitions
- Clarifies key terms, such as "evaporating temperature" and "glide," to support uniform application.
- Refrigerant Blends and Temperature Glide
- Includes provisions for condensing units operating with refrigerant mixtures that experience temperature glide.
- Details the calculation of performance metrics for blends, ensuring data remains accurate and comparable.
- Annexes for Specific Calculations
- Introduces methods to determine evaporating temperature for refrigerant mixtures through arithmetic and thermodynamic means.
Applications
The standard is widely used in the following contexts:
- Manufacturer Declarations
- Ensures that performance data supplied by manufacturers is consistent, reliable, and easily comparable.
- Product Selection and Specification
- Assists system designers, engineers, and end-users in selecting appropriate condensing units for refrigeration systems, based on standardized data.
- Regulatory Compliance
- Supports alignment with EU directives such as the Ecodesign requirements (Directive 2009/125/EC), contributing to energy efficiency improvements.
- Quality Assurance
- Enables third-party verification and certification by ensuring uniform data reporting and tolerances.
- Market Transparency
- Facilitates fair competition by mandating consistent presentation of capacity and energy consumption.
