ANNEX B – Calculation of the energy efficiency index (EEI)
1- General conditions for testing:
- for refrigerating appliances with anti-condensation heaters that can be switched on and off by the
end-user, the anti- condensation heaters shall be switched on and — if adjustable — set at
maximum heating and included in the annual energy consumption (AE) as daily energy
consumption (Edaily);
- for refrigerating appliances with ambient controlled anti-condensation heaters, the ambient
controlled electric anti- condensation heaters shall be switched off or otherwise disabled, where
possible, during the measurement of energy consumption;
- for refrigerating appliances with dispensers that can be switched on and off by the end-user, the
dispensers shall be switched on during the energy consumption test but not operating;
- for the measurement of energy consumption, variable temperature compartments shall operate at
the lowest temperature that can be set by the end-user to continuously maintain the temperature
range, as set out in Table 2, of the compartment type which has the lowest temperature;
- for refrigerating appliances that can be connected to a network, the communication module shall
be activated but there is no need to have a specific type of communication or data exchange or
both during the energy consumption test. During the energy consumption test it has to be ensured
that the unit is connected to a network;
- for the performance of chill compartments:
(1) for a variable temperature compartment rated as a fresh food and/or chill compartment, the
energy efficiency index (EEI) shall be determined for each temperature condition and the highest
value shall be applied;
(2) a chill compartment shall be able to control its average temperature within a certain range
without user-adjust mends of its control, this can be verified during the energy consumption
tests at 16 °C and 32 °C ambient temperature;
- for adjustable volume compartments, when the volumes of two compartments are adjustable
relative to one another by the end-user, the energy consumption and the volume shall be tested
when the volume of the compartment with the higher target temperature is adjusted to its minimum
volume;
- the specific freezing capacity is calculated as 12 times the light load weight, divided by the
freezing time to bring the temperature of the light load from +25 to - 18 °C at an ambient
temperature of 25 °C expressed in kg/12h and rounded to one decimal place; the light load weight
is 3,5 kg per 100 liter of the compartment volume of the frozen compartments, and shall be at least
2,0 kg;
- for 4-star compartments, the specific freezing capacity shall be such that the freezing time to bring
the temperature of the light load (3,5 kg/100 l) from +25 to - 18 °C at an ambient temperature of 25
°C, is smaller than or equal to 18,5 h;
- Tropical climate class T (+16 to +32). is the only climate class allowed for refrigerators, refrigerator-
freezers and freezers in the GCC member states.
إمارتيةقياسية مواصفة UAE.S 5010 – 3 : 2020
15
2- Determination of the EEI:
Energy efficiency index EEI, expressed in % and rounded to the first decimal place, calculated as:
EEI = AE / SAE.
3- Determination of the AE:
For all refrigerating appliances the energy consumption AE shall be determined by testing at an
ambient temperature of 16 °C and 32 °C.
AE, expressed in kWh/a and rounded to two decimal places, shall be calculated as follows:
AE = 365 × Edaily /L + Eaux
With:
- The load factor L = 0.9 for refrigerating appliances with only frozen compartments and L = 1.0 for
all other appliances; and
- With Edaily, expressed in kWh/24h and rounded to three decimal places calculated from ET at an
ambient temperature of 16 °C (E16) and at an ambient temperature of 32 °C (E32) as follows:
Edaily= 𝐸16 × 0.3 + 𝐸32 × 0.7
Where:
- E16 and E32 are derived by interpolation of the energy test at the target temperatures set out in Table 2.
- Eaux, expressed in (kWh/year) and rounded to three decimal places.
Eaux is limited to the ambient controlled anti-condensation heater and is determined from the
heater’s power consumption at 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.
For all tests, should conduct at ambient temperatures of 16 °C and 32 °C. In addition, Relative
Humidity at 60 to 70 % with mid-point 65% . It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide the
temperature and humidity data to the laboratory to prepare the test report.
4- Determination of the standard annual energy consumption (SAE):
For all refrigerating appliances SAE, expressed in kWh/a, and rounded to two decimal places, is
calculated as follows:
𝑆𝐴𝐸 = 𝐶 × 𝐷 × ∑ Ac
𝑛
𝐶=1
× 𝐵𝑐 × [𝑉𝑐/𝑉] × (𝑁𝑐 + 𝑉 × 𝑟𝑐 × 𝑀𝑐)
where - c is the index number for a compartment type ranging from 1 to n, with n the total number of
compartment types;
- Vc, expressed in dm3 or liters and rounded to the first decimal place is the compartment volume;
إمارتيةقياسية مواصفة UAE.S 5010 – 3 : 2020
16
- V, expressed in dm3 or liters and rounded to the nearest integer is the volume with 𝑉 ≤ ∑ Vc𝑛𝑐=1 .
- rc, Nc, Mc and c are modelling parameters specific to each compartment with values in Table 6;
- Ac, Bc and D, are the compensation factors with values as set out in Table 7.
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.
