EN 14825:2012 (E)
Introduction
Heat pumps, air conditioners and liquid chilling packages are, at present, selected and compared at a rated
condition. This condition does not represent the usual operating conditions of the equipment over a season.
This operating condition can be better assessed by comparing equipment at representative reduced
capacities and determining the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and Seasonal Coefficient of Performance.
Fixed capacity heat pumps, air conditioners and liquid chilling packages deal with varying loads by varying the
operation time. The efficiency of the system is dependent on the effectiveness of the controlling thermostats.
Variable capacity air conditioners, liquid chilling packages and heat pumps, by continuous or step control of
the compressor, can more closely match the varying load improving system efficiency.
This European Standard provides part load conditions and calculation methods for calculating the Seasonal
Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEERon) and Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOPon and SCOPnet) of such
units when they are used to fulfil the cooling and heating demands.
Other energy consumptions can occur when the unit is not used to fulfil the cooling and heating demands
such as those from a crank case heater or when the unit is on standby. These consumptions are considered
in the calculation methods for reference SEER and reference SCOP.
Reference SEER/SEERon and reference SCOP/SCOPon/SCOPnet calculations may be based on calculated or
tested values. In case of tested values, this European Standard gives the methods for testing heat pumps, air
conditioners and liquid chilling packages at part load conditions.
The rating conditions and test methods of units operating at rated and application capacities are given in
EN 14511-2 and EN 14511-3:2011.
The methods for calculation of system energy efficiencies for specific heat pump systems in buildings are
given in EN 15316-4-2.
EN 14825:2012 (E)
Scope
This European Standard covers air conditioners, heat pumps and liquid chilling packages. It applies to factory
made units defined in EN 14511-1:2011, except single duct, control cabinet and close control units.
This European Standard gives the calculation methods for the determination of reference seasonal energy
efficiency SEER and SEERon and reference seasonal coefficient of performance SCOP, SCOPon and
SCOPnet.
Such calculation methods may be based on calculated or measured values.
In case of measured values, this European Standard covers the test methods for determination of capacities,
EER and COP values during active mode at part load conditions. It also covers test methods for electric power
consumption during thermostat off mode, standby mode and crankcase heater mode.
This European Standard serves as an input for the calculation of the system energy efficiency in heating mode
of specific heat pump systems in buildings, as stipulated in the standard EN 15316-4-2.

5.1 General
For the purpose of calculation of application SCOP and reference SCOP / SCOP on / SCOPnet as explained in
st
Clause 7, the part load ratios mentioned below should be based on the part load ratio formulas (1 column of
nd
Tables 6 to 35) and not on the rounded figures as mentioned in the 2 column of these tables.
For the purpose of reference SCOP and reference SCOPon / SCOPnet, there are three reference conditions:
average (A), warmer (W) and colder (C).
The relevant Tdesignh values are defined as follows:
Tdesign average
Tdesign colder
Tdesign warmer
17
EN 14825:2012 (E)
for the average heating season, the dry bulb bivalent temperature is +2 C or lower;
for the colder heating season, the dry bulb bivalent temperature is -7 C or lower;
for the warmer heating season, the dry bulb bivalent temperature is +7 C or lower.
NOTE
If the declared TOL is lower than the Tdesignh of the considered climate, then it may be assumed that TOL is
equal to Tdesignh.

General
For each application, units either allowing or not allowing a variation of the outlet water temperature with the
outdoor temperature are considered. The variable outlet temperature shall only be applied when the control
provides an outdoor air temperature dependant modification of the outlet temperature.
The part load conditions for determining the reference SCOP (Equation (7)), reference SCOPon (Equation (9))
and reference SCOPnet (Equation (10)) are given in the following tables:

For units that have to cycle on/off to reach the required part load ratio or part load condition is below Tbivalent,
the inlet temperature of the indoor heat exchanger should be fixed to the Equation (13) in 8.4.1
General
For each application, units either allowing or not allowing a variation of the outlet water temperature with the
outdoor temperature are considered. The variable outlet temperature shall only be applied when the control
provides an outdoor air temperature dependant modification of the outlet temperature.
The part load conditions for determining the reference SCOP (Equation (7)), reference SCOPon (Equation (9))
and reference SCOPnet (Equation (10)) are given in the following tables:

The cooling demand Pc(Tj) can be determined by multiplying the full load value (Pdesignc) with the part load
ratio % for each corresponding bin. This part load ratio % is calculated as follows:
Part load ratio % = (Tj-16) / (35-16)
(4)
The EER values at each bin are determined via interpolation of the EER values at part load conditions A, B, C
and D as mentioned in the tables of Clause 4.
For part load conditions above part load condition A, the same EER values as for condition A are used.
For part load conditions below part load condition D, the same EER values as for condition D are used.
6.4 Calculation procedure for determination of EERPL values at part load conditions B, C, D
6.4.1
General
In part load condition A (full load), the declared capacity of a unit is considered equal to the cooling load
(Pdesignc).
In part, load conditions B, C and D, there can be two possibilities:
if the declared capacity of a unit is matching with the required cooling loads, the corresponding EER DC
value of the unit is to be used. This may occur with variable capacity units;
if the declared capacity of a unit is higher than the required cooling loads, the unit has to cycle on/off. This
may occur with fixed capacity or variable capacity units. In such cases, a degradation factor (Cd or Cc)
has to be used to calculate the corresponding EERPL value. Such calculation is explained below.
6.4.2
6.4.2.1
For each part load conditions B, C and D, the EER is calculated as follows:
EER PL(B,C,D) EER DC (1 Cd (1 CR))
(5)

Determine the declared capacity and EERPL at the closest step or increment of the capacity control of the unit
to reach the required cooling load. If this step does not allow to reach the required cooling load within 10 %
(e.g. between 9,9 kW and 8,1 kW for a required cooling load of 9 kW), determine the capacity and EERPL at
the defined part load temperatures for the steps on either side of the required cooling load. The part load
capacity and the EERPL at the required cooling load are then determined by linear interpolation between the

The heating demand Ph(Tj) can be determined by multiplying the full load value (Pdesignh) with the part load
ratio % for each corresponding bin. This part load ratio % is calculated as follows:
The COPPL values and capacity values at each bin are determined via interpolation of the COP PL and capacity
values at part load conditions A, B, C and D, and in some cases also E, F. Interpolation is done between the
COPPLs and capacities of the 2 closest part load conditions (as mentioned in the tables of Clause 5).
The COPPL values and capacity values for part load conditions above D are extrapolated from the COP PL
values and capacity values at part load conditions C and D.
In case of the cold climate, and if the TOL (operation limit) is below -20 C, an additional calculation point has
to be taken from the capacity and COPPL at -15 C condition.
However, If the capacity of the heat pump is lower than the value of Ph(Tj), correction needs to be made for
the missing capacity with an electric back up heater with a COP of 1. This correction does not apply for the
calculation of SCOPnet.
Below TOL (operation limit) the heat pump is not running. The capacity of the heat pump at outside air
temperatures below TOL is 0 kW.
7.4 Calculation procedure for determination of COPPL values at part load conditions A, B, C,
D
7.4.1
General
if the declared capacity of a unit is matching with or lower than the required heating demands, the
corresponding COPDC value of the unit is to be used;
if the declared capacity of a unit is higher than the required heating demand, COP PL shall be calculated
according to the calculation methods below, depending on the capacity control of the unit.
7.4.2
7.4.2.1
For the part load conditions A, B, C, D where the capacity ratio is lower than 1, the COP PL is calculated as
follows:
COPPL(A,B,C,D) = COPDC 1 Cd 1 CR
(11)
where
COPDC = the COP corresponding to the declared capacity (DC) of the unit at the same temperature
conditions as for part load conditions A, B, C, D;
50
Cd =
CR =
EN 14825:2012 (E)
The capacity ratio is the ratio of the heating demand (Ph) over the declared capacity (DC) of the unit at the
same temperature conditions.
For determination of the Cd value, see 8.4.2.
If Cd is not determined by test then the default degradation coefficient Cd shall be 0,25.
7.4.2.2
Determine the declared capacity and COPPL at the closest step or increment of the capacity control of the
unit to reach the required heat load. If this step does not allow to reach the required heating load within
10% (e.g. between 9,9 kW and 8,1 kW for a required heating load of 9 kW), determine the capacity and
COPPL at the defined part load temperatures for the steps on either side of the required heating load. The
part load capacity and the COPPL at the required heating load are then determined by linear interpolation
between the results obtained from these two steps.
If the smallest control step of the unit is higher than the required heating load, the COPPL at the required
part load ratio is calculated using Equation (11) as for fixed capacity units.

7.4.3.2
Determine the declared capacity and COPPL at the closest step or increment of the capacity control of the
unit to reach the required heat load. If this step does not allow to reach the required heating load within
10% (e.g. between 9,9 kW and 8,1 kW for a required heating load of 9 kW), determine the capacity and
COPPL at the defined part load temperatures for the steps on either side of the required heating load. The
part load capacity and the COPPL at the required heating load are then determined by linear interpolation
between the results obtained from these two steps.

8 Test methods for testing capacities, EERPL and COPPL values during active mode
at part load conditions
8.1 General
For the purposes of this European Standard, testing for capacities, EERPL and COPPL shall be done without
including any integral supplementary electric heating.
For testing at part load conditions, the test apparatus and the requirements given in EN 14511-3:2011 shall
apply, except when modified by the following clauses.

General
Due to difficulties that will occur during on/off cycling, perform a capacity test at A to D (and E, F) temperature
conditions according to EN 14511-3:2011. Calculate the Cd or Cc degradation coefficient or apply the default
value. Apply the formulas 5, 6, 11 or 12 to calculate the corresponding EER PL or COPPL. For air/water/brine-towater units, in order to obtain a time averaged outlet temperature as indicated in Tables 9 to 20, the inlet and
outlet temperatures for the capacity test shall be determined using Equation (13):
t outlet, average t inlet, capacity test t outlet, capacity test t inlet, capacity test CR
(13)
NOTE
The time averaged mean temperature should be the same when comparing variable capacity units with fixed
capacity units. See example in Annex C.
All tests with a continuous and steady state operation of the unit shall be conducted according to
EN 14511-3:2011 procedure.
8.4.2
8.4.2.1
General
When there is a cooling/heating demand, the compressor is on and the total power consumption includes all
electrical auxiliary devices.
Once the set point is reached, the cooling/heating demand is satisfied. The compressor is then off but there is
still a remaining power consumption due to the other auxiliary devices (electronics, fans, ). The degradation
coefficient is due to two effects:
1)
2)
the pressure equalisation that reduces the cooling/heating capacity when the unit is restarted.
For determining the degradation factor Cd, the unit is cycled on for 6 min and then off for 24 min for an
approximately 20 % part load by switching on and off the compressor.
If it is not possible to make the measurements with the required uncertainty of measurement when using a
cycling interval of 6/24 min, then another cycling interval shall be chosen but not representing a greater part
load ratio than 50 % (i.e. 10/10 min).
During this cyclic test, the delivered cooling (heating) capacity is integrated over the on/off interval. Then the
cyclic EER (COP) is obtained by dividing the integrated cooling (heating) capacity (kWh) by the electrical
energy used by the unit over the same on/off interval.
The energy ratio (ER) is calculated by dividing the time integrated cooling (heating) capacity (kWh) by the
cooling (heating) energy (kWh) that would have been delivered by the unit running continuously for the same
time interval (i.e. 30 min).
The degradation coefficient Cd is calculated as the ratio of the cyclic EER (COP) to the continuous (steadystate) EER (COP) (for the same test conditions) according to following formula.

COPDC = the COP corresponding to the declared capacity (DC) of the unit at the same temperature conditions
as for part load conditions A, B, C, D, E, F.
If the degradation coefficient Cd has been determined for cooling (function) mode, it can be applied for heating
(function) mode and vice versa.
If the degradation coefficient Cd is not measured, a default value of 0,25 shall be used.
The temperature conditions at which the full load and cyclic tests shall be performed are given below for each
type of unit and mode.
8.4.2.2
One test at an outdoor dry bulb temperature of 20 C with dry indoor coil.
One cyclic test at the same dry bulb temperature conditions, with dry indoor coil.
8.4.2.3
One test at an outdoor dry bulb temperature of 12 C with dry outdoor coil.
One cyclic test at the same dry bulb temperature conditions, with dry outdoor coil.
8.4.2.4
One test at the temperature condition of the A test given in Table 3 in 4.4.1 and with dry indoor coil.
One cyclic test at the same A test temperature conditions, with dry indoor coil.
8.4.2.5
8.4.3
For air-to-water units and water-to-water units, the degradation coefficient Cc due to the pressure equalisation
effect when the unit restarts can be considered as negligible.
The only effect that will impact the EER/COP at cycling is the remaining power input when the compressor is
switching off.
The electrical power input during the compressor off state of the unit is measured when the compressor is
switched off for at least 10 min.
The degradation coefficient Cc is determined for each part load ratio as follows:

8.5 Test procedure for variable capacity units (air-to-air, air-to-water, water-to-air,
water/brine-to-water)
8.5.1
The capacity ratio to be tested shall be set according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
The manufacturer shall provide laboratories necessary information on the setting of the unit for operating at
the required capacity conditions upon request. Contact information to obtain such information shall be
provided in both user's manual and website of the manufacturer or importer
The unit shall operate continuously during the part load test. The only discontinuity allowed is the defrost cycle
of a heat pump.
8.5.2
The unit may be connected to a compensation system that shall allow setting of the required part load
ratio within +/- 10 %. Examples of such compensation systems for part load tests in heating and cooling
mode are given in Annex E. The setting of the thermostat on the waterside shall be as given by the
manufacturer. The test shall be performed in accordance with EN 14511-3:2011 considering the
admissible deviations, individual uncertainties of measurement and data acquisition. Cooling/heating
capacity and power input are obtained from a time integration over a number of complete stabilised
cycles of the energy balance and of the energy consumption. The measured cooling capacity or heating
capacity shall be corrected for the heat from the circulating pump, in accordance with EN 14511-2. The
effective power input shall be obtained from the measured power input and the corrections from the heat
from the circulating pump, if any.
OR: The capacity ratio to be tested may be set according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
The manufacturer shall provide laboratories necessary information on the setting of the unit for operating
at the required capacity conditions upon request. Contact information to obtain such information shall be
provided in both users manual and website of the manufacturer or importer
The unit shall operate continuously during the part load test. The only discontinuity allowed is the defrost cycle
of a heat pump.
9 Test methods for electric power consumption during thermostat off mode,
standby mode and crankcase heater mode
9.1 Measurement of electric power consumption during thermostat off mode
The power consumption during thermostat off mode is obtained during the cyclic tests required to determine
the Cd and Cc values. See Clause 8.
If no cyclic test is performed, after the D test condition in cooling mode (for cooling only or reversible units),
the thermostat set point is increased until the compressor stops. The standby power consumption (see 9.2) is
deducted from the measured total energy consumption of the unit to determine the thermostat off power on a
time period not inferior to one hour.
For heating mode, the same principle applies but the thermostat set point should be decreased until the
compressor stops.
In order to measure a power input that is consistent with the definition of the effective power input, if the liquid
pump is an integral part of the unit, the available static pressure shall also be measured and the total
56
EN 14825:2012 (E)
thermostat off power be corrected from the power input of the liquid pump to provide this available static
pressure, in a similar way that it is described in EN 14511-3:2011, Clause 4.
If the liquid pump is not an integral part of the unit, the measured thermostat power off shall be corrected from
the fraction of the pump power that is necessary to overcome the internal static pressure difference, in a
similar way that it is described in EN 14511-3:2011, Clause 4, in order to measure a power input that is
consistent with the definition of effective power input.
9.3 Measurement of the electric power consumption during crankcase heater mode
After the B temperature conditions test in heating mode is finished, the unit is stopped with the control
device, and the energy consumption of the unit shall be measured for 8 h. Average of 8-hour power input shall
be calculated.
The standby power consumption is deducted from this measured energy consumption to determine the
crankcase heater operation consumption.
NOTE
It is assumed that the crankcase heater operates when the compressor is off and the outdoor temperature is
lower than a given value. This value is the temperature under which the crankcase heater starts up and depends on the
crankcase heater control type.
10 Test report
The test report shall contain general and additional information specified in EN 14511-3:2011.
It shall also include the results of the part load test(s). and the calculation of EER or COP.
If calculation of reference SEER/SCOP and reference SEERon/SCOPon/SCOPnet, are included, it shall be
based on the results of these tests.

Adaption of water temperature for fixed capacity units
To compare a heat pump with fixed capacity with a heat pump with variable capacity care has to be taken that
the time averaged mean temperature of water served to the heating system is the same.
The mean temperature served to the heating system is for a variable capacity heat pump the mean value
between outlet and inlet temperature.
For a fixed capacity heat pump when the compressor is not running the mean temperature served to the
heating system is equal to the inlet temperature (= outlet temperature) of the heat pump. To compensate this
low temperature when the compressor is off the outlet temperature when the compressor is running has to be
higher than that from a variable capacity heat pump to give the same time averaged mean temperature served
to the heating system.

Determination of reference annual cooling/heating demands and
determination of hours for active mode, thermostat off, standby,
off mode and crankcase heater mode
D.2 Determination of reference annual cooling/heating demands and hours for active
mode, thermostat off, standby, off mode
In general, the annual cooling/heating demand of buildings is mainly determined by:
a)
the climate : including weather data (temperatures, amount of clouds etc.) and solar radiation data
b)
the type of building and its corresponding occupancy hours, e.g. residential, retail, office etc.
c)
d)
the building characteristics, e.g. exposed surface, window glazing, insulation, ventilation, etc.
e)
For determination of the reference annual cooling/heating demands of above-mentioned units, following
assumptions are taken:
f)
climate: the reference cooling and heating seasons are represented by bins, as mentioned in Tables 29
and 30.
g)
type of building: 3 building types are used : residential, small office and small retail (shop). In general,
residency occupancy hours are assumed between 7-9 am and between 5-11 pm for working days and
between 9 am and 11 pm for weekends. Offices have assumed occupancy hours between 8 am and
7 pm during workdays only, whereas shops have assumed occupancy hours between 8 am and 7 pm
during working and weekend days. More details on the assumed occupancy hours can be found in [2],
pages 65 & 66 Tables 4-16, 4-17 and 4-18.
h)
Building characteristics: both old and new building constructions have been taken into account. More
details on the assumed geometry, construction values etc can be found in [2], pages 63, 64, 65 Tables 411, 4-12, 4-13, 4-14.
i)
Set point and Set back settings: the cooling set point is assumed a weighted average of 25 C and 26 C
for offices and residential dwellings (depending on EU climates) and at 23 C for shops. The heating set
point is 21 C. Set back for heating is at 12 C for offices and shops and at 15 C for residences. More
details can be found in [2], page 70. For the calculation of reference SEER/SCOP, setback is taken into
account by reducing the number of active hours occurring during the cooling/heating season.
j)
Internal gains: more details on the impact of lighting, equipment and occupancy (people/m) can be found
in [2], page 65 Tables 4-15.
67
EN 14825:2012 (E)
Based on the above elements, the bin hours of the cooling and heating season are determined, and also the
reference numbers of hours that the units work in active mode, thermostat off mode, standby mode and off
mode.
A differentiation is made between units that have only a cooling function, only a heating function or both
cooling and heating functions. It is assumed that cooling only units remain connected to the mains power
source outside the cooling season, and heating only units outside the heating season. In such cases, they are
considered to be in off mode. Units with both cooling and heating functions have zero off mode hours.
In addition, differentiation is made between the calculation of reference SEER - which is based on 1 reference
climate condition only -, and the calculation of reference SCOP - which is based on 3 reference climate
conditions which are different from the condition for reference SEER. As a result, the values of reference
SEER and reference SCOP cannot be put together to calculate an annual seasonal performance value. See
below tables for more details.

"Equivalent hours" means that for calculation of the reference annual cooling demand Qce:
Multiplying the 954 h of the active mode with the corresponding part load values for each bin (cf. the bins in
Table 29)
is equivalent to:
multiplying 350 h with the full load value corresponding to 35 C outdoor temperature.
A similar approach is taken for heating for calculation of reference SCOP, resulting in below values for the
