本标准为用于冷却的蓄热设备的净可用存储容量和辅助电源输入额定值的测试和额定值制定了一套单独的要求；由此，可以对不同产品的设备性能等级进行比较。本标准适用于用于冷却的储热设备，该设备可与各种传热流体一起充放电。设备可在工厂完全组装、由工厂提供的部件现场组装，或根据预先制定的设计标准现场安装。

This standard establishes a single set of requirements for the testing and rating of net usable storage capacity and auxiliary power input ratings for thermal storage equipment used for cooling; whereby, equipment performance ratings can be compared from product to product. The standard applies to thermal storage equipment used for cooling which may be charge and discharged with any of a variety of heat transfer fluids. The equipment may be fully factory assembled, assembled on site from factory supplied components, or field erected in accordance with pre-established design criteria.
