What is BS EN 13771-1 - Performance test methods of refrigerant compressors about?
BS EN 13771-1 is the first part of the BS EN 13771 series of standards that specifies performance test methods for refrigerant compressors. These methods provide sufficiently accurate results for the determination of the refrigerating capacity, power absorbed, refrigerant mass flow, isentropic efficiency and the coefficient of performance.
BS EN 13771-1 applies only to performance tests where the equipment for testing is available.
Who is BS EN 13771-1 - Performance test methods of refrigerant compressors for?
BS EN 13771-1 on Performance test methods of refrigerant compressors is useful for:
- Refrigerant compressor manufacturer
- Testing laboratories
- Refrigerant compressor designers
- Electronic equipment manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 13771-1 - Performance test methods of refrigerant compressors?
BS EN 13771-1 provides the performance test method for the refrigerant compressor which ensures identifying the accurate results for performance for identifying the refrigerating capacity power absorbed, refrigerant mass flow, isentropic efficiency, and the coefficient of performance.
BS EN 13771-1 helps to improve the quality of refrigerant compressors by testing their performance during the manufacturing process that provides reliable and durable products to the buyers.
