5.4.1.2 The IPLV or NPLV ratingrequires that the unit efficiency bedetermined at 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% atthe conditions as specified in Table 3. Ifthe unit, due to its capacity control logiccan not be operated at 75%, 50%, or 25%capacity then the unit shall be operated atother load points and the 75%, 50%, or25% capacity efficiencies shall bedetermined by plotting the efficiencyversus the % load using straight linesegments to connect the actualperformance points (Figure 1). The 75%,50%, or 25% load efficiencies shall then bedetermined from the curve. Extrapolationof data shall not be used. An actual chillercapacity point equal to or less than therequired rating point must be used to plotthe data. For example, if the minimumactual capacity is 33% then the curve canbe used to determine the 50% capacitypoint, but not the 25% capacity point.
If a unit cannot be unloaded to the 25%,50%, or 75% capacity point, then the unitshall be run at the minimum step ofunloading at the condenser entering wateror air temperature based on Table 3 for25%, 50% or 75% capacity points asrequired. The efficiency shall then bedetermined by using the followingequation:
InputPowerTotalMeasuredC
CapacityCoolingMeasuredEER
D 2
where CD is a degradation factor toaccount for cycling of the compressor forcapacities less than the minimum step ofcapacity. CD should be calculated usingthe following equation:
1.13+LF)0.13(-=CD
where LF is the load factor calculatedusing the following equation:
capacity)unitload(Part
capacity)unitload(Full100
FL%
=LF
where % FL is the % of full load atstandard rating points, i.e. 75%, 50%,and 25%.
Part-Load unit capacity is the measuredor calculated unit capacity from whichStandard Rating points are determinedusing the method above.

APPENDIX C. METHOD OF TESTING WATER-CHILLINGPACKAGES USING THE VAPOR COMPRESSION CYCLE -
NORMATIVE
C1. Purpose. The purpose of this appendix is toprescribe a method of testing for Water-Chilling Packagesusing the vapor compression cycle and to verify capacityand power requirements at a specific set of conditions.
Testing shall occur where instrumentation and loadstability is provided.
Testing shall not be conducted in field installations wheresteady state conditions are difficult to achieve andprovisions for measurement are not made.
C2. Definitions. Definitions for this appendix areidentical with those in Section 3 of this standard.
C3. Test Methods.
C3.1 Test Method.
C3.1.1 The test will measure net coolingcapacity (tons of refrigeration) and energyrequirements, at a specific set ofconditions.
C3.1.2 To confirm that steady-stateconditions have been established at thespecific set of conditions and within thetolerances set forth in C6.2.1, three sets ofdata shall be taken, at a minimum of five-minute intervals. To minimize the effectsof transient conditions, test readingsshould be taken as simultaneously aspossible.
C3.1.3 The test shall include ameasurement of the net heat removedfrom the water as it passes through theevaporator by determination of thefollowing:
a. Water flow rate, gpm [L/s]b. Temperature difference
between entering andleaving water °F, [°C]
C3.1.4 The heat removed from thechilled water is equal to the product of thechilled water flow rate, the watertemperature difference, and the specificheat of the water defined by equation C6.
C3.1.5 If supplied with the Water-Chilling Package, the test shall include
simultaneous determination of the heatreclaim Condenser capacity by obtainingthe data as defined in C5.1.6 for Water-Cooled Heat Reclaim Condensers andC5.1.7 for Air-Cooled Heat ReclaimCondensers.
C3.1.5.1 For Water-CooledHeat Reclaim Condensers, theheat reclaim capacity shall bedetermined by obtaining thefollowing data:
a. Fluid flow rate, gpm [L/s]b. Temperature difference
between entering andleaving water °F, [°C]
The heat rejected through theheat reclaim Condenser is equalto the product of the heat reclaimCondenser water flow rate, thewater temperature difference, andthe specific heat of water asdefined by equation C7.
C3.1.5.2 For Air-Cooled HeatReclaim Condensers, the heatreclaim capacity shall bedetermined by obtaining thefollowing data:
a. Heat Reclaim Condenser airflow rate, standard cfm[m3/s] (for air)
b. Heat reclaim Condenser airtemperature differencebetween entering andleaving air
The heat rejected through theAir-Cooled Heat ReclaimCondenser is equal to the productof the heat reclaim Condenserairflow rate, the air temperaturedifference, and the specific heatof moist air as defined byequation C8.
C3.1.5.3 The test shall includethe determination of thecompressor power requirement.This power shall be determined
ARI STANDARD 550/590- 2003
16
by measurement of electricalinput to the motor drive (seeC7.1.4). For motors supplied byothers, the determination ofcompressor shaft horsepowerinput shall be outlined in the testprocedure. For Air-Cooled orEvaporatively-CooledCondensers, the test shall includethe determination of theCondenser fan and Condenserspray pump power requirements.
C3.1.5.4 Non-Electric Drive.Where turbine or engine drive isemployed, compressor shafthorsepower input shall bedetermined from steam, gas, oroil consumption, at measuredsupply and exhaust conditionsand prime mover manufacturer'scertified performance data.
C3.1.6 Test Verification.
C3.1.6.1 For the case ofWater-Cooled Condensers, inaddition to the determination ofnet heat removed and energyinput required, data shall betaken to prepare a heat balance(C6.4.1) to substantiate thevalidity of the test.
C3.1.6.2 For Air-Cooled andEvaporatively- CooledCondensers, it is impractical tomeasure heat rejection in a test;therefore, a heat balance cannotbe calculated. To verify testaccuracy, concurrent redundantinstrumentation method (C6.4.2)shall be used to measure watertemperatures, flow rates, andpower inputs.
C3.1.6.3 For heat reclaimunits with Air-CooledCondensers or Water-CooledCondensers, where the capacityis not sufficient to fully condensethe refrigerant, the concurrentredundant instrumentationmethods (C6.4.2) shall be used.
C3.1.6.4 For heat reclaimunits with Water-CooledCondensers that fully condense
the refrigerant, the heat balancemethods (C6.4.1) shall be used.
C3.2 Condition of Heat Transfer Surfaces.
C3.2.1 Tests conducted in accordancewith this standard may require cleaning(in accordance with manufacturer'sinstructions) of the heat transfer surfaces.The as tested Fouling Factors shall then beassumed to be 0.0 h ft2 F/Btu [0.0 m2 C/W].

C6.3.4 Example-Condenser FoulingInside Tubes (in I.P Units for clarity):
Specified Fouling Factor Allowance,ffsp =0.00025 h ft2 F/BtuCondenser load, q = 2,880,000 Btu/h
Specified Condenser leaving water temp,Twl = 95F
Specified Condenser entering water temp,Twe = 85 F
Inside* tube surface area, Ai = 550 ft2
*(Since fouling is inside tubes in thisexample)
Saturated condensing temperature,ts = 101 F
Ssp = ts - twl = 101 - 95 = 6 F

The entering Condenser watertemperature for testing is then raised 1.2Fto simulate the Fouling Factor Allowanceof 0.00025 h ft2 F/Btu. The enteringcondenser water temperature will be 85 +1.2 or 86.2F.

APPENDIX D. DERIVATION OF INTEGRATED PART LOADVALUE (IPLV) - NORMATIVE
D1 Purpose. This appendix is intended to show thederivation of the Integrated Part-Load Value (IPLV).
D2 Scope. This appendix is for equipment covered bythis standard. The IPLV equations and procedure areintended to provide a consistent method for calculating asingle number part-load performance figure of merit forWater-Chilling Packages. The equation was derived toprovide a representation of the average part-loadefficiency for a single chiller only. However, it is best touse a comprehensive analysis that reflects the actualweather data, building load characteristics, operationalhours, economizer capabilities and energy drawn byauxiliaries such as pumps and cooling towers, whencalculating the chiller and system efficiency. Thisbecomes increasingly important with multiple chillersystems because individual chillers operating withinmultiple chiller systems are more heavily loaded thansingle chillers within single chiller systems.
D3 Equation and Definition of Terms.
D3.1 The energy efficiency of a chiller iscommonly expressed in one of the three followingratios:
a. Coefficient of Performance, COPb. Energy Efficiency Ratio, EERc. Total Power Input per Capacity
kW/ton [kW/kW]
These three alternative ratios are related as follows:
COP = .293 EER EER = 3.413 COPkW/ton = 12/EER EER = 12/(kW/ton)kW/ton = 3.516/COP COP = 3.516/(kW/ton)
The following equation is used when an efficiencyis expressed as EER [Btu/(Wh)] or COP [W/W]:
D0.12+C0.45+B0.42+A0.01=IPLV D1a
where:
*A = EER or COP at 100% capacity*B = EER or COP at 75% capacity*C = EER or COP at 50% capacity*D = EER or COP at 25% capacity
The following equation is used when the efficiencyis expressed in Total Power Input per Capacity,kW/ton:
D1b
where:
*A = kW/ton at 100% capacity*B = kW/ton at 75% capacity*C = kW/ton at 50% capacity*D = kW/ton at 25% capacity
The IPLV or NPLV rating requires that the unitefficiency be determined at 100%, 75%, 50% and25% at the conditions as specified in Table 3. Ifthe unit, due to its capacity control logic can not beoperated at 75%, 50%, or 25% capacity then theunit can be operated at other load points and the75%, 50%, or 25% capacity efficiencies should bedetermined by plotting the efficiency versus the %load using straight line segments to connect theactual performance points. The 75%, 50%, or 25%load efficiencies can then be determined from thecurve. Extrapolation of data shall not be used. Anactual chiller capacity point equal to or less thanthe required rating point must be used to plot thedata. For example, if the minimum actual capacityis 33% then the curve can be used to determine the50% capacity point, but not the 25% capacitypoint.
If a unit cannot be unloaded to the 25%, 50%, or75% capacity point, then the unit should be run atthe minimum step of unloading at the condenserentering water or air temperature based on Table 3for the 25%, 50% or 75% capacity points asrequired. The efficiency shall then be determinedby using the following equation:
WC
Btu/h=EER
measuredD
measured
D2
where CD is a degradation factor to account forcycling of the compressor for capacities less thanthe minimum step of capacity. CD should becalculated using the following equation:
1.13+LF)(-0.13=CD D3
The load factor LF should be calculated using thefollowing equation:

where:
%Load is the standard rating point i.e. 75%,50% and 25%.
Part-Load unit capacity is the measured orcalculated unit capacity from which standardrating points are determined using the methodabove.
D3.2 Equation Constants. The constants 0.01,0.42, 0.45 and 0.12 are based on the weightedaverage of the most common building types, andoperating hours, using average USA weather data.To reduce the number of data points, the ASHRAEbased bin data was reduced to a design bin andthree bin groupings as illustrated in Figure D1.
D3.3 Equation Derivation. The ASHRAETemperature Bin Method was used to create fourseparate NPLV/IPLV formulas to represent thefollowing building operation categories:
Group 1 - 24 hrs/day, 7 days/wk, 0F andaboveGroup 2 - 24 hrs/day, 7 days/wk, 55F andaboveGroup 3 - 12 hrs/day, 5 days/wk, 0F andaboveGroup 4 - 12 hrs/day, 5 days/wk, 55F andabove
Figure D1. Ton-Hour Distribution Categories
The following assumptions were used:
a. Modified ASHRAE Temperature BinMethod for energy calculations wasused.
b. Weather data was a weighted averageof 29 cities across the U.S.A,specifically targeted because theyrepresented areas where 80% of all
chiller sales occurred over a 25 yearperiod (1967-1992).
c. Building types were a weightedaverage of all types (with chillerplants only) based on a DOE study ofbuildings in 1992 [DOE/EIA-0246(92)].
d. Operational hours were a weightedaverage of various operations (withchiller plants only) taken from theDOE study of 1992 and a BOMAstudy (1995 BEE Report).
e. A weighted average of buildings(with chiller plants only) with andwithout some form of economizer,based upon data from the DOE andBOMA reports, was included.
f. The bulk of the load profile used inthe last derivation of the equation wasagain used, which assumed that 38%of the buildings’ load was averageinternal load (average of occupied vs.unoccupied internal load). It varieslinearly with outdoor ambient andmean Condenser wet-bulb (MCWB)down to 50F DB, then flattens outbelow that to a minimum of 20%load.
g. Point A was predetermined to be thedesign point of 100% load and 85FECWT/95F EDB for IPLV/NPLV.Other points were determined bydistributional analysis of ton-hours,MCWB’s and EDBs. ECWTs werebased upon actual MCWBs plus an8F tower approach.
The individual equations thatrepresent each operational type werethen averaged in accordance withweightings obtained from the DOEand BOMA studies.
The load line was combined with theweather data hours (Figure D2) tocreate ton-hours (Figure D3) for thetemperature bin distributions. Seegraphs below:
ARI STANDARD 550/590-2003
26
Figure D2. Bin Groupings
A more detailed derivation of theGroup 1 equation is presented here toillustrate the method. Groups 2, 3,and 4 are done similarly, but notshown here. In the chart below, notethat the categories are distributed asfollows:
Figure D3. Group 1 Ton-Hour DistributionCategories
Point A = 1 bin for Design BinPoint B = 4 bins for Peak BinPoint C = 4 bins for Low BinPoint D = all bins below 55F for
Min Bin
See Table D1 for Air Cooled andTable D2 for water cooledcalculations. The result is averageweightings, ECWT’s (or EDB’s), and% Loads.
The next step would be to begin againwith Group 2 Ton Hour distributionas below. Note Group 2 is Group 1,but with 100% Economizer at 55F.
Figure D4. Group 2 Ton-Hour DistributionCategories
After creating similar tables as inTables D1 and D2 for Groups 2, 3,and 4, the resulting GroupIPLV/NPLV equations are in TableD3.
The next step is to determine the % ofeach group which exists in buildingswith central chiller plants, so that onefinal equation can be created from thefour. From the DOE and BOMAstudies, using goal seeking analysis, itwas determined that:
Group 1 - 24.0%Group 2 - 12.2%Group 3 - 32.3%Group 4 - 31.5%
This calculates to the following newequation:IPLV equation (kW/ton):

C = kW/ton @ 50.9% Load and65.6F ECWT or 65.8FEDB
D = kW/ ton @ 32.2% Load and47.5F ECWT or 39.5FEDB
Rounding off and rationalizing:
A = kW/ton @ 100% Load and85F ECWT or 95F EDB
B = kW/ton @ 75% Load and75F ECWT or 80F EDB
C = kW/ton @ 50% Load and65F ECWT or 65F EDB
D = kW/ton @ 25% Load and65F ECWT or 55F EDB
After rounding off and applying therationale of where the manufacturers’and the current test facilitiescapabilities lie, the final equation D1bis shown in Section D3.1.
