本欧洲标准规定了空调，液体冷冻包装和使用空气，水或盐水作为传热介质的热泵在使用空间加热和/或冷却时使用电动压缩机的等级和性能的术语和定义。本欧洲标准不适用于家用热水的热泵，尽管可以对其进行某些定义。 本欧洲标准适用于: - 可以导管的工厂生产的单元， - 具有集成电容器的工厂制造的液体冷却包装或用于远程冷凝器， - 任何固定容量或可变容量的工厂生产的单位，以及 - 空气 - 空气空调还可以蒸发冷凝器侧的冷凝水。 包装单元，单分割和多分裂系统由本标准涵盖。单管道和双管道单元被标准覆盖。 在由几个部件组成的单元的情况下，本欧洲标准仅适用于作为完整包装设计和提供的产品，除了具有远程冷凝器的液体冷冻包装。 本欧洲标准主要用于水和卤水冷却包装，但可以用于其他液体，但需要达成协议。 其冷凝器由冷凝器冷却

This European Standard specifies the terms and definitions for the rating and performance of air conditioners, liquid chilling packages and heat pumps using either, air, water or brine as heat transfer media, with electrically driven compressors when used for space heating and/or cooling. This European Standard does not apply to heat pumps for domestic hot water, although certain definitions can be applied to these. This European Standard applies to: - factory-made units that can be ducted, - factory-made liquid chilling packages with integral condensers or for use with remote condensers, - factory-made units of either fixed capacity or variable capacity by any means, and - air-to-air air conditioners which can also evaporate the condensate on the condenser side. Packaged units, single split and multisplit systems are covered by this standard. Single duct and double duct units are covered by the standard. In the case of units consisting of several parts, this European Standard applies only to those designed and supplied as a complete package, except for liquid chilling packages with remote condenser. This European Standard is primarily intended for water and brine chilling packages but can be used for other liquid subject to agreement. The units having their condenser cooled by air and by the evaporation of external additional water should have their performance in the cooling mode determined in accordance to EN 15218. For those which can also operate in the heating mode, EN 14511 applies for the determination of their performance in the heating mode. Installations used for heating and/or cooling of industrial processes are not within the scope of this standard. NOTE 1 Part load testing of units is dealt with in EN 14825. NOTE 2 All the symbols given in this text are used regardless of the language used.
