本文总结了ASHRAE研究项目RP-427“冰箱/冷冻柜能量测试有效性的确定”的第一阶段任务目前，在美国销售的冰箱、冰箱/冷冻机和冷冻机需要显示联邦贸易委员会（FTC）的标签，该标签列出了根据美国能源部（DOE）定义的实验室测试标准程序确定的操作设备的估计年度能源成本。由于冰箱/冷冻机的设计特点已得到改进，以提高能源效率，目前的DOE测试程序尚未进行评估，以确定对现场能源消耗的影响。由于设计参数（如绝缘厚度或压缩机效率）的这些变化，现场能耗的相对变化可能不会反映在DOE测试结果中。随着新的设计特点被添加到电器中，必须确定它们对消费者的好处。 得出的结论是，目前测试程序的有效性无法表征。为了确定目前的程序是否有效，开发了一个现场试验程序和一个改进的实验室试验程序，以确定作为物理和设计参数函数的预期“平均”现场（家庭）能耗。单位:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1987年，第93卷，第。田纳西州纳什维尔2号

This paper summarizes the Phase I tasks of ASHRAE Research Project, RP-427, "Determination of Validity of Refrigerator/Freezer Energy Testing." Refrigerators, refrigerator/freezers, and freezers sold in the United States are currently required to display a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) label that lists the estimated yearly energy cost of operating the appliance, determined from a Department of Energy (DOE) defined laboratory test standard procedure. As design features for refrigerator/freezers have been improved to increase energy efficiency, the present DOE test procedure has not been evaluated to determine the effect on energy consumption experienced in the field. The relative change in field energy consumption due to these changes in design parameters, such as insulation thickness or compressor efficiencies, may not be reflected in DOE test results. As new design features are added to the appliances, a determination must be made as to their benefit to the consumer. It was concluded that the validity of the present test procedure could not be characterized. To determine whether the present procedure is valid, a field test program and a modified laboratory experimental program were developed to determine the expected "average" field (household) energy consumption as a function of physical and design parameters.Units: Dual
