                                                                          Total adjusted volume, in liters   
      Energy Efficiency Factor (EEF) =  
                                                                               Energy consumption, in kWh/24h  
 
where:  
           Total adjusted volume    =    SVff + SVOC;  
           SVff      is the volume of fresh food compartment, in liters;  
SVOC     is the summation of th e volume of other compartments, in    liters ; = 
((K1x SVOC1) + (K2 x SVOC2) + (K3 x SVOC3)…)  
           K          is the adjustment factor.  
 
NOTE :  
The resulting EEF is rounded off to the nearest 0.1 ℓ/kWh. The   decision will be 
based on the rounded -off value.  
The test temperature for determination of energy consumption shall be 32 
degrees.  
 
D.2.A.2  Computation of adjustment factor, K, shall be made using the following  formula:  
                                                       T1 – Tc 
                                              K = 
                                                                     T1 – TM 
where:  
           K      is the adjustment factor;  
           T1    is the ambient temperature, °C;  
Tc     is the compartment temperatures. i.e. frozen food compartment , chiller  
compartment, etc., °C; and  
           TM    is the fresh food compartment temperature, °C.  
NOTE : Actual temperatures of each compartment shall be used in  the above 
formula  
D.2.A.3  Computation of adjusted volumes:  
Computation of adjusted volume of frozen food co mpartment  shall be made 
using the following equation:  
                                                FZAV = SVmfz x KFZ  
where:  
       FZAV   is the adjusted volume of frozen food compartment, in liters;  
 SVmfz  is the measured volume of froz en food compartment, in liters; and 
         KFZ  is the adjustment fa ctor as computed using D.2.A.2   
 
  
 D.2.A.4  Computation of adjusted volume of chiller compartment shall be made  using the 
following equation:  
                                         CCAV = SVmcc x KCC  
where:  
       CCAV    is the adjusted volume of chiller compartment, in liters;  
SVmcc  is the measured volume of chiller compartment, in liters; and  
         KCC      is the adjustment factor as computed using D.2.A.2  
D.2.A.5  Computation of adjusted volume of cellar compartment shall be made  using the 
following equation:  
                                                CAV = SVmc x KC  
where:  
CAV    is the adjusted volume of cellar compartment, in liters;  
SVmc  is the measured volume of cellar compartment, in liters; and  
KC      is the adjustment factor as computed using D.2.A.2  
NOTE 1 : The rational for multiplying each compartment volume by an 
adjustment  factor “K” is that, it takes “K” times as much energy to maintain a 
given insulated  space at -18 °C than it does at + 4°C in a 32°C ambient 
temperature.  
NOTE 2 : Typical refrigerator -freezer models have two temperature zones, a 
fresh  food storage area that operates at about + 4°C and a frozen food storage 
area that  operates at about -18°C for a 3 -star freezer compartment. In order t o 
compare, on  an equitable basis, a model with a large percentage of its total 
volume devoted to  freezer space, to a model with small percentage of its total 
volume devoted to a  freezer space, an adjustment factor “K” is applied to the 
freezer volume. This  adjustment is the ratio of heat flow through freezer wall to 
heat flow through an  equivalent fresh food  wall, which is proportional to the ratio 
of the temperature  difference.   Energy Utilization Management Bureau  Doc Ref No.:  EUMB -EPRED -QR-21
