FOREWORD
ASHRAE Standard 30 prescribes methods for obtaining performance data relating to liquid-
chilling or liquid-heating equipment using any type of compressor. The intent of this standard
is to provide uniform test methods to measure the performance of this equipment by addressing
the test and instrumentation requirements, test procedures, data to be recorded, and calcula-
tions to generate and confirm valid test results.
Addendum a includes the following major revisions:
• Updated capacity and condenser definitions to align with the rest of the standard.
• Added enthalpy measurement and capacity calculations.
• Updated thermal input power calculations.
• Clarified existing pressure drop correction calculation.
• Added requirement to test based on operating mode set points defined prior to testing.
• Simplified existing test data collection and test report requirements.
Note: In this addendum, changes to the current standard are indicated in the text by under-
lining (for additions) and strikethrough (for deletions) unless the instructions specifically men-
tion some other means of indicating the changes.
Addendum a to Standard 30-2019
Modify Section 3 as shown. The remainder of Section 3 is unchanged.
3. DEFINITIONS, ABBREVIATIONS, AND ACRONYMS

capacity: a measurable physical quantity, the rate that heat (energy) is added to or removed
from the liquid side of a refrigerating system. Capacity is defined as the mass flow rate of the
liquid multiplied by the difference in enthalpy of liquid entering and leaving the heat
exchanger. For the purposes of this standard, the enthalpy change is approximated as the sensi-
ble heat transfer using specific heat and temperature difference, and in some calculations, also
the energy associated with liquid-side pressure losses.
gross heating capacity: the capacity of the water-cooled condenser as measured by the
total heat transferred from the refrigerant to the liquid in the condenser. This value
includes both the sensible heat transfer and the friction heat losses from pressure drop
effects of the liquid flow through the condenser. This value is used to calculate the energy
balance of a test.
gross coolingrefrigerating capacity: the capacity of the evaporator as measured by the
total heat transferred from the liquid to the refrigerant in the evaporator. This value
includes both the sensible heat transfer and the friction heat losses from pressure drop
effects of the liquid flow through the evaporator. This value is used to calculate the energy
balance of a test.
net heating capacity: the capacity of the condenser available for useful heating of the
thermal load, external to the liquid chilling system, calculated using only the sensible heat
transfer.
net cooling refrigerating capacity: the capacity of the evaporator available for useful
cooling of the thermal load, external to the liquid chilling system, calculated using only
the sensible heat transfer.
condenser: a refrigerating system component which condenses refrigerant from vapor state to
liquid state by the removal of heat. De-superheating and sub-cooling of the refrigerant may
occur as well.
ANSI/ASHRAE Addendum a to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 30-2019 1

air-cooled condenser: a condenser, including condenser fans, that condenses refrigerant vapor
by rejecting heat to air mechanically circulated over a dry heat transfer surface, causing a tem-
perature an enthalpy rise in the air.
evaporatively-cooled condenser: a condenser which condenses refrigerant vapor by rejecting
heat to a water and air mixture mechanically circulated over itsa wetted heat transfer surface,
causing evaporation of the water and an increase in the enthalpy of the air.
liquid-cooled condenser: a condenser that condenses refrigerant vapor by rejecting heat to liq-
uid mechanically circulated over its heat transfer surface, causing a temperaturean enthalpy
rise in the liquid.
liquid-cooled heat reclaim condenser: a liquid-cooled condenser, that may be either a separate
parallel condenser in a refrigerating system using two or more condensers, or a portion of a liq-
uid-cooled condenser with two or more liquid circuits, with the purpose of heat recovery.
5. CALCULATIONS AND CONVERSIONS

[...]
5.4 Performance Refer to Normative Appendix B for schematics of each system type and the
physical location of measurement instruments.
5.4.1 Capacity. One of the following three methods shall be used depending on the available
measurements and with consideration of the acceptable test uncertainty required by the partiestest
plan. Enthalpy capacity method shall be used for setups with significant distance and pressure drop
between the temperature and pressure measurements on the inlet and/or outlet external piping. The
additional temperature increase due to frictional pressure losses shall be determined by measuring
pressure at a location within ± 2 pipe diameters of each temperature measurement point in the
external piping. The pressure measurements adjacent to the temperature measurements shall be
used when determining the physical properties of enthalpy. The sign convention, positive or nega-
tive, is to show all capacity values as positive whether energy is input into the chiller system or
energy is removed from the chiller system. Adjust the sign for temperature difference or enthalpy
difference accordingly by subtracting the lesser of inlet and outlet from the greater value. For pres-
sure difference, however, the sign is significant with respect to the direction of energy flow.
5.4.2 Power
5.4.2.1 Thermal input power for a gaseous fuel for given fluid volume flow rate and higher
heating value assuming complete combustion:

5.4.4 Liquid Pressure Drop Correction. Measured liquid pressure-drop values shall be
adjusted to subtract additional static pressure drop due to piping external to the chiller connec-
tion points. The additional static pressure drop shall be the sum of all losses between the unit
connections and the location of static pressure taps. Record the original measured value p test ,
the calculated adjustment value p adj , and the final calculated result for liquid pressure drop
p corrected .
p adj = g   hf i +   hm j

p corrected = p test – p adj
5.4.4.23 The general form [ . . . ]
5.4.4.34 The head loss [ . . . ]
Loss coefficients shall be from Section 5.4.4.45, Section 5.4.4.56, [ . . . ]
6. TEST REQUIREMENTS
[...]
6.4 Plan. A test plan shall document all requirements for conducting the test. This includes a
list of the required full-load and part-load test points and associated operating conditions,
including adjusted liquid temperature targets based on the rated fouling factor allowance. In
addition to the requirements specifically listed in this standard the test plan shall include all
other input signals or controls positions necessary to place the chiller in the operating mode for
each test to be performed.
7. DATA TO BE RECORDED
7.1 General. For each test point, at a specific load and set of operating conditions report the
test time period and number of data point measurements. Include the sample mean and sample
standard deviation for each measurement value (temperature, flow, pressure drop, power, etc.)
as calculated per Section 5.2.

Nameplate data, including make, model, size, serial number, voltage, frequency, and refrigerant designation
number (in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 34), sufficient to completely identify the liquid chiller. Unit
voltage and frequency shall be recorded.
Prime mover nameplate data (motor, engine, or turbine).
Nonelectric Drive Fuel specification (if applicable) and calorific value.
9.1.2 Report shall identify net refrigerating capacity or net heating capacity (equations in Section
5.4.1) (W [Btu/h or tonR]).
9.1.3 Total input power to chiller (W, kW, or MW) shall be identified.
9.1.3.1 Excluding power input to integrated liquid pumps when present (refer to Section
6.3.1.7.2).
9.1.4 Report shall identify energy efficiency, expressed as energy efficiency ratio (EER), coeffi-
cient of performance (COP), or power input per capacity, with qualifier to indicate operating mode
(cooling, heating, simultaneous heating and cooling, or heat recovery), Btu/W·h or W/W or kW/kW
or kW/tonR.
Informative Note: It is important to note that pump energy associated with pressure drop
through the chiller heat exchangers is not included in the chiller input power. This is because any
adjustment to the chiller performance would confuse the overall system analysis for capacity and
efficiency. It is therefore important for any system analysis to account for the cooling loads associ-
ated with the system pump energy and to include the pump power into the overall equations for sys-
tem efficiency.
9.1.5 Chilled-liquid entering and leaving temperatures (°C [°F]) or leaving liquid temperature
and temperature difference (°C [°F]).
9.1.5.1 Chillers with an integral pump: evaporator heat exchanger liquid pressure drop as rated
water temperatures, kPa (ft of water [at 60°F] or psid).
9.1.5.2 Chillers without an integral pump: chilled-liquid pressure drop at rated water tempera-
ture (customer inlet to customer outlet), kPa (ft of water [at 60°F] or psid).
Informative Note: Due to typical industry practice, liquid pressure drop is often reported in head
(kPa [ft of water]); however, test data are acquired in pressure (psid) for use in calculations.

a. Test Results shall be rounded to the number of significant figures identified in Section 5.7, using the definitions in Section 3, and rounding rules and formats in Section 5.7.
b. Example: In the case that a unit operates in “Heating” mode only when the ambient temperature is below 12.8°C (55.0°F) the report shall state the temperature and how the ambient
temperature signal is provided to the equipment under test.
c. Required for liquid-cooled heat reclaim condenser only.
d. Pump energy associated with pressure drop through the chiller heat exchangers is not included in the total input power. This is done because any adjustment to the chiller perfor-
mance would confuse the overall system analysis for capacity and efficiency. It is therefore important for any system analysis to account for the cooling loads associated with the
system pump energy and to include the pump power into the overall equations for system efficiency.
e. Liquid pressure drop shall be reported in units of pressure differential, not in head or liquid column height. Note: Due to industry typical practice, Liquid Pressure Drop is often
reported in head (ft H2O) and corrected to a reference temperature (e.g. 60 °F); however, test data is acquired in pressure, psid, for use in calculations.

9.1.10 Test Results. Test Results shall be rounded to the number of significant figures identified
in Section 5.7 using the definitions in Section 3 and rounding rules and formats in Section 5.7. A
written test report shall be generated that contains the data included in Section 7 for each test point
at a specific load and set of operating conditions.

POLICY STATEMENT DEFINING ASHRAE’S CONCERN
FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ITS ACTIVITIES
ASHRAE is concerned with the impact of its members’ activities on both the indoor and outdoor environment.
ASHRAE’s members will strive to minimize any possible deleterious effect on the indoor and outdoor environment of
the systems and components in their responsibility while maximizing the beneficial effects these systems provide,
consistent with accepted Standards and the practical state of the art.
ASHRAE’s short-range goal is to ensure that the systems and components within its scope do not impact the
indoor and outdoor environment to a greater extent than specified by the Standards and Guidelines as established by
itself and other responsible bodies.
As an ongoing goal, ASHRAE will, through its Standards Committee and extensive Technical Committee structure,
continue to generate up-to-date Standards and Guidelines where appropriate and adopt, recommend, and promote
those new and revised Standards developed by other responsible organizations.
Through its Handbook, appropriate chapters will contain up-to-date Standards and design considerations as the
material is systematically revised.
ASHRAE will take the lead with respect to dissemination of environmental information of its primary interest and
will seek out and disseminate information from other responsible organizations that is pertinent, as guides to updating
Standards and Guidelines.
The effects of the design and selection of equipment and systems will be considered within the scope of the
system’s intended use and expected misuse. The disposal of hazardous materials, if any, will also be considered.
ASHRAE’s primary concern for environmental impact will be at the site where equipment within ASHRAE’s scope
operates. However, energy source selection and the possible environmental impact due to the energy source and
energy transportation will be considered where possible. Recommendations concerning energy source selection
should be made by its members.
