  "text": "(117)‘rated power input’ (DA ) means the electrical power input which is needed by the high temperature process chiller (including the compressor, the condenser fan(s) or pumps(s), the evaporator pump(s) and possible auxiliaries) to reach the rated refrigeration capacity, expressed in kW to two decimal places;\n(118)‘rated energy efficiency ratio’ (EERA ) means the rated refrigeration capacity, expressed in kW divided by the rated power input, expressed in kW, expressed to two decimal places;\n(119)‘seasonal energy performance ratio’ (SEPR) is the efficiency ratio of a high temperature process chiller at standard rating conditions, representative of the variations in load and ambient temperature throughout the year, and calculated as the ratio between the annual refrigeration demand and the annual electricity consumption;\n(120)‘annual refrigeration demand’ means the sum of each bin-specific refrigeration load multiplied by the corresponding number of bin hours;\n(121)‘refrigeration load’ means the rated refrigeration capacity multiplied by the part load ratio of high temperature process chillers, expressed in kW to two decimal places;\n(122)‘part load’ (PC (Tj )) means the refrigeration load at a specific ambient temperature (Tj ), calculated as the full load multiplied by the part load ratio of high temperature process chillers corresponding to the same ambient temperature Tj and expressed in kW at two decimal places;\n(123)‘part load ratio of high temperature process chillers’ (PR (Tj )) means:\n(a)for high temperature process chillers using air-cooled condensing, the ambient temperature Tj minus 5 °C divided by the reference ambient temperature minus 5 °C multiplied by 0,2 and added to 0,8. For ambient temperatures higher than the reference ambient temperature, the part load ratio of high temperature process chillers shall be 1. For ambient temperatures lower than 5 °C, the part load ratio of high temperature process chillers shall be 0,8;\n(b)for high temperature process chillers using water-cooled condensing, the water inlet temperature (water inlet to condenser) minus 9 °C divided by the reference ambient temperature of the water inlet to condenser (30 °C) minus 9 °C, and multiplied by 0,2 and added to 0,8. For ambient temperatures (water inlet to condenser) higher than the reference ambient temperature, the part load ratio of high temperature process chillers shall be 1. For ambient temperatures lower than 9 °C (water inlet to condenser), the part load ratio of high temperature process chillers shall be 0,8;\n(c)which is expressed as a percentage to one decimal place;\n(124)‘annual electricity consumption’ is calculated as the sum of the ratios between each bin-specific cooling demand and the corresponding bin-specific energy efficiency ratio, multiplied by the corresponding number of bin hours;\n(125)‘ambient temperature’ means:\n(a)for high temperature process chillers using air-cooled condensing, the air dry bulb temperature, expressed in degrees Celsius;\n(b)for high temperature process chillers using water-cooled condensing, the water inlet temperature at the condenser, expressed in degrees Celsius;\n(126)‘reference ambient temperature’ means the ambient temperature, expressed in degrees Celsius, at which the part load ratio of high temperature process chillers is equal to 1. It shall be set at 35 °C. For air-cooled high temperature process chillers, the air inlet temperature to the condenser is defined as 35 °C while for water-cooled high temperature process chillers the water inlet temperature to the condenser is defined as 30 °C with 35 °C outdoor air temperature to the condenser;\n(127)‘energy efficiency ratio at part load’ (EERPL (Tj )) means the energy efficiency ratio for every bin in the year, derived from the declared energy efficiency ratio (EERDC ) for specified bins and calculated for other bins by linear interpolation;\n(128)‘declared refrigeration demand means the refrigeration load at specified bin conditions, and calculated as the rated refrigeration capacity multiplied by the corresponding part load ratio of high temperature process chillers;\n(129)'declared energy efficiency ratio’ (EERDC ) means the energy efficiency ratio of the high temperature process chiller at a specific rating point, corrected where necessary by the degradation coefficient if the minimum declared refrigeration capacity exceeds the refrigeration load or interpolated if the nearest declared refrigeration capacities lie above and below the refrigeration load;\n(130)‘declared power input’ means the electrical power input needed by the high temperature process chiller to meet the declared refrigeration capacity at a specific rating point;\n(131)‘declared refrigeration capacity’ means the refrigeration capacity delivered by the high temperature process chiller to meet the declared refrigeration demand at a specific rating point.",
