ANNEX II – MEASUREMENT METHODS AND CALCULATIONS

‫ طرق القياس وا ساب‬- 2 ‫اﳌ ق‬

1. For storage conditions and target temperatures per compartment type:

For assessing the storage temperatures, tests shall be carried out at an ambient of 16°C and 43°C.

Table 2 sets out the storage conditions and target temperature per compartment type.

2. Determination of the Annual Energy Consumption (𝑨𝑬)

The energy consumption shall be determined by testing at an ambient temperature of 16°C and 32°C.

To determine the energy consumption, the average air temperatures in each compartment shall be equal to or below the
target temperatures specified in Table 2 for each compartment type claimed by the supplier. Values above and below
target temperatures may be used to estimate the energy consumption at the target temperature for each relevant
compartment by interpolation, as appropriate.

The main components of energy consumption to be determined are:

- a set of steady state power consumption values (Pss) in W and rounded to one decimal place, each at a specific
ambient temperature and at a set of compartment temperatures, which are not necessarily the target temperatures.

- the representative incremental defrost and recovery energy consumption (ΔEd-f), in Wh and rounded to one
decimal place, for products with one or more auto-defrost systems (each with its own defrost control cycle)
measured at an ambient temperature of 16°C (ΔEd-f16) and 32°C (ΔEd-f32);

- defrost interval (td-f), expressed in h and rounded to three decimal places, for products with one or more defrost
systems (each with its own defrost control cycle) measured at an ambient temperature of 16°C (td-f16) and 32°C
(td-f32), (td-f) shall be determined for each system under a certain range of conditions.

- for each test performed the Pss and ΔEd-f are added together to form a daily energy consumption at a certain
ambient temperature ET = 0.001 x 24 x (Pss + ΔEd-f/ td-f), expressed in kWh/24h, specific to the settings applied.

- Eaux, expressed in kWh/year and rounded to three (3) decimal places. Eaux is limited to the ambient temperature
controlled anti-condensation heater and is determined from the heater’s power consumption at a few ambient
temperature and humidity conditions, multiplied with the probability that this ambient temperature and humidity
condition occurs and summed; this result is subsequently multiplied with a loss factor to account for heat leakage
into the compartment and its subsequent removal by the refrigeration system.

Each of these parameters shall be determined through a separate test or set of tests. Measurement data is averaged over
a test period which is taken after the appliance has been in operation for a certain time. To improve the efficiency and
accuracy of testing, the length of the test period shall not be fixed; it shall be such that the appliance is in steady state
condition during this test period. This is validated by examining all data within this test period against a set of stability
criteria and whether enough data could be collected in this steady state.

𝐴𝐸, expressed in kWh/year and rounded to two (2) decimal places, shall be calculated as follows:

𝐸
𝐴𝐸 = 365 𝑥 +𝐸
𝐿

Note:
- The load factor L = 0.9 for refrigerating appliances with only frozen compartment and L = 1.0 for all other
appliances; and
- With 𝐸 , expressed in kWh/24h and rounded to three (3) decimal places calculated from ET at an ambient
temperature of 16°C (E16) and at an ambient temperature of 32°C (E32) as follows:

𝐸 = (𝐸 𝑥 0.5) + (𝐸 𝑥 0.5)

Where 𝐸 and 𝐸 are derived by interpolation of the energy test at the target temperatures set out in Table 2.

3. Determination of the standard annual energy consumption (𝑺𝑨𝑬)

3.1. For all refrigerating appliances:

𝑆𝐴𝐸, expressed in kWh/year, and rounded to two (2) decimal places, is calculated as follows:

𝑆𝐴𝐸 = 𝐶 𝑥 𝐷 𝑥 𝐴 𝑥 𝐵 𝑥 [𝑉 𝑉] 𝑥 (𝑁 + 𝑉 𝑥 𝑟 𝑥 𝑀 )

where

- c, is the index number for a compartment type ranging from 1 to n, with n the total number of compartment types;

- 𝑉 , expressed in dm3 or liters and rounded to the first decimal place is the compartment volume;

- 𝑉, expressed in dm3 or liters and rounded to the nearest integer is the volume with 𝑉 ≤ ∑ 𝑉;

- 𝑟 , 𝑁 , 𝑀 and 𝐶 are modelling parameters specific to each compartment with values as set out in Table 5; and

- 𝐴 , 𝐵 and 𝐷 are compensation factors with values as set out in Table 6.

When carrying out the calculations above, for the variable temperature compartments, the compartment type
with the lowest target temperature for which it is declared suitable is chosen.

3.4. Determination of the 𝐸𝐸𝐼

The Energy Efficiency Index (𝐸𝐸𝐼), expressed in % and rounded to the first decimal place, shall be calculated
as follows:
𝐴𝐸
𝐸𝐸𝐼 =
𝑆𝐴𝐸

Note:
- 𝐸𝐸𝐼 – Energy Efficiency Index (%)
- 𝐴𝐸 – Annual Energy Consumption (kWh/year)
- 𝑆𝐴𝐸 – Standard Annual Energy Consumption (kWh/year)

4. Energy consumption of specified auxiliaries

The following regional values apply (Calculation of power consumption). The data as set out in Table 7 shall be used.
