3.3.1.   Determination of PTO

Determination of PTO

The power consumption during thermostat off mode is obtained during the cyclic tests required to determine the Cd and Cc values.

If no cyclic test is performed, after the test at 20 °C in cooling mode (for cooling only or reversible units), the thermostat set point is increased until the compressor stops. The standby power consumption is deducted from the measured total power consumption of the unit to determine the thermostat off power consumption on a time period not inferior to one hour.

3.3.2.   Determination of PSB

Determination of PSB

At the condition of 35 °C ambient temperature in cooling mode, the unit is stopped with the control of the device. After 10 minutes, the residual power consumption is measured and assumed to be the standby mode power consumption.

For heating only units, the measurements are done in the same way, but at the condition of 12 °C ambient temperature.

3.3.3.   Determination of POFF

Determination of POFF

Following the standby mode power test, the unit should be switched in off mode while remaining plugged. After 10 minutes, the residual power consumption is measured and assumed to be the off mode power consumption.

In case no off mode switch is available on the unit (e.g. on the indoor unit(s) for split units), the off mode power consumption is supposed equal to the standby mode power consumption.

3.3.4.   Determination of PCK

Determination of PCK

The test is performed in heating mode, at 2 °C ambient temperature. The unit is stopped with the control of the device after at least 20 minutes of heating operation, and the energy consumption of the unit shall be measured for 8 hours. If unit does not have function for heating, it shall be operated with cooling mode. Average of 8 hour power input shall be calculated.

The standby power consumption is deducted from this measured power consumption to determine the crankcase heater operation power consumption.
