本标准规定了住宅用中央系统加湿器的测试规则。其目的是为实验室环境中的测试提供统一的方法。尽管该测试方法起源于AHRI标准610《中央系统加湿器的性能评级》，但项目委员会已开发出独立于空调、供暖和制冷研究所（AHRI）评级标准使用的单独测试方法，以便中央系统加湿器的制造商、规范制定者、安装者和用户- 系统家用加湿器可以在各种条件下测试加湿器的容量，结果一致。本试验方法是与AHRI合作制定的，符合AHRI标准610。本标准的范围包括一种测试方法，用于测量用于强制暖风和/或冷却系统的中央系统家用加湿器的加湿率。本试验方法描述了试验装置、试验传导模式和要记录的信息。 测试包括测量电力输入、水流量、水温和测试加湿器水压的方法。还包括进入试验装置并由其维持的气流速度、静压、温度和相对湿度。应用本试验方法产生的信息供中央系统家用加湿器的制造商、规范者、安装者和用户使用。本试验方法不适用于自给式加湿器、便携式加湿器或商业和工业用加湿器。 这是对2012版标准的重申。

This standard provides rules for the testing of central system humidifiers for residential applications. Its purpose is to provide a uniform method for testing in a laboratory environment. Although the method of test originated in AHRI Standard 610, Performance Rating of Central System Humidifiers, the project committee has developed this separate method of test to be used independently of the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) rating standard so that manufacturers, specifiers, installers, and users of central-system residential humidifiers can test a humidifier’s capacity under a variety of conditions with uniform results. This method of test was prepared in cooperation with AHRI to correspond with AHRI Standard 610.The scope of this standard covers a method of test for measuring the humidification rate of central-system residential humidifiers intended for use with forced-warm-air heating and/or cooling systems. This method of test describes the test apparatus, mode of test conduction, and information to be recorded. Tests covered include methods for measuring electrical power input, water flow rate, water temperature, and water pressure to the test humidifier. Also included are airflow rate, static pressure, temperature, and relative humidity entering and maintained by the test apparatus. Information resulting from the application of this test method is intended for use by manufacturers, specifiers, installers, and users of central-system residential humidifiers. This test method does not apply to self-contained humidifiers, portable humidifiers, or humidifiers for commercial and industrial applications.This is a reaffirmation of the 2012 edition of the standard.
