Part load Testing

The following rating conditions are used to test chillers at part load conditions:

For air cooled chillers:

  1. The leaving water temperature is set at 7°C

  2. The evaporator water-flow rate is equal to the standard rating waterflow rate

  3. The air-flow rate is controlled by the chillers

  3. The air-flow rate is controlled by the chillers

For air cooled chillers, the condenser fan(s) should be operated by the control of the chillers. Whenever cycling of the condenser fan(s) occurs, the test should be led as follows:

  • An acquisition time period of 1 hour is required.
  • Tolerance on leaving water temperature can exceed the maximum permissible deviation.
  • If cycles exceed 1 minute, an entire number of periods shall be acquired.
