ISO 13253-2 Seasonal Packaged Unit Energy Test
The ISO 13253-2 seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) test is a critical standard for the HVAC industry. This test measures the energy efficiency of packaged terminal air conditioners and heat pumps over time, specifically during different seasons. The test is designed to provide an accurate representation of how a unit will perform in real-world conditions throughout the year.
The seasonal performance factors (SPF) are calculated based on the performance data collected during the test. This helps manufacturers and buyers understand which units will be more cost-effective over time, promoting energy-efficient HVAC equipment that meets environmental standards.
Our laboratory specializes in this testing to ensure compliance with international standards and to provide accurate and reliable data for our clients. Our team of experts uses state-of-the-art equipment and follows the latest procedures to ensure that every test is conducted under controlled conditions, replicating real-world operating scenarios as closely as possible.
The process begins with thorough pre-test inspections and calibrations. The testing apparatus simulates various environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and outdoor air flow rates. The unit under test runs for extended periods to ensure that data is collected over a comprehensive range of operating conditions.
Post-testing analysis involves detailed examination of the performance metrics, including energy consumption, cooling capacity, and heating output. Our technicians then compile this information into a comprehensive report that includes all relevant data points and recommendations for improvement or certification compliance.
This service is essential for manufacturers seeking to improve their product offerings and ensure they meet international standards. It also benefits HVAC distributors who want to provide consumers with energy-efficient products, thereby reducing operational costs and promoting sustainability.
