scope:
This standard applies to methods for performance testing single-stage and multistage positive displacement refrigerant compressors and compressor units.
This standard applies to compressors and compressor units that either (a) do not have intermediate cooling or refrigerant injection or (b) do have intermediate cooling or refrigerant injection, and the power required for intermediate cooling or refrigerant injection, if any, is included in the measured total input power to the compressor or compressor unit.
PURPOSE
This standard prescribes methods for performance testing positive displacement refrigerant compressors and compressor units, including capacity, isentropic efficiency, and volumetric efficiency.
