ASHRAE标准182规定了一种测试吸收式冷水和热水机组的方法，以验证特定运行条件下的容量和热能输入要求。本标准适用于本标准规定的用于冷却和/或加热水的吸收式包装，以及可提供适当仪器和负载稳定性的测试。本标准未规定在典型现场装置中进行试验，通常难以达到稳态条件，且未制定足够的测量规定。

ASHRAE Standard 182 prescribes a method of testing absorption water-chilling and water-heating packages to verify capacity and thermal energy input requirements at a specific set of operating conditions.This standard applies to absorption packages used to chill and/or heat water, as defined by the standard, and to testing that will occur where proper instrumentation and load stability can be provided.The standard does not provide for testing in typical field installations, wheresteady-state conditions are often difficult to achieve and adequate provisions for measurement are not made.
