Measurements


Micro-channel condenser

ASEVALCU able to calculate CU with fin-tube condenser only

Developed a temporary procedure to calculate CU with MCHX:

Used external calculation tool to get MCHX heat exchange characteristics

Modified ASEVALCU to incorporate such external MCHX data

Validated such approach with CU tested in 2015

ASERCOM ready to certify in 2016 CU with MCHX


Outlook on 2016

2 batches scheduled in 2016:

date for project file date for selection of CU to test

Batch 1 23/12/2015 13/01/2016

Batch 2 31/03/2016 13/04/2016

Change in rules for 2016:

3 sub-ranges max per member with a maximum of 30 x CU per

member

1 x CU tested per sub-range of 15 if compressor is certified

2 x CU tested per sub-range of 15 if compressor is not certified

1 x CU tested per sub-range of 5 if compressor is not certified

Add a condition per member that certification fees + submission fees

should at minimum pay for the testing cost


Summary

ASERCOM certification program for condensing units in place

New EU requirements on condensing units starting July 2016

Certified 76 compressors and 81 condensing units in 2015

Trend in certification towards LOW-GWP refrigerants, no more
