Paragraph 5 Modelling parameters per compartment type for the calculation of SAE

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

Table 18 sets out the modelling parameters per compartment type for the calculation of SAE.

Table 18

The values of the modelling parameters per compartment type

(a) between 1.15 and 1.56 for combi appliances with 3- or 4-star compartments;

(b) 1.15 for other combi appliances;

(c) 1.00 for other refrigerating appliances.

For the purposes of table 18—

(a)

rc is (Ta-Tc)/20, where Ta = 24 °C and Tc is the determined value as set out in Table 17;

(b)

C for combi appliances is determined as follows—

(i)

frzf = Vfr/V, where—

(aa)

Vfr is the 3- or 4-star compartment volume;

(bb)

V is the total volume of the appliance;

(ii)

if frzf ≤ 0.3, C = 1.3 + 0.87 × frzf;

(iii)

if 0.3 < frzf < 0.7, C = 1.87 – 1.0275 × frzf;

(iv)

in any other case, C = 1.15.
