Annex A
(normative)
Calculation of SEPR
A.1 General
The energy efficiency of condensing units shall be stated at one rating condition for lower capacity or at
four rating conditions for higher capacity (see 8.3), plus via a calculated seasonal value SEPR based on
the four rating conditions.
The methodology for the calculation of this SEPR-value is described here.
The SEPR is calculated based on the COPs determined for operation at the four rating conditions A, B, C
and D, see Table A.1. This determination is as follows:
The refrigerating capacity demand at a given ambient temperature is given in Formula (A.12) for
medium temperature (MT) refrigeration and low temperature (LT) in Formula (A.10) refrigeration.
For quasi stepless capacity control resulting in a capacity matching the demand ± 3 % defined at the
given ambient temperature of the rating condition, the COP is unchanged.
A.2 Condensing unit without capacity control

For condensing units with on/off cycling control (i.e. without capacity control), the COP is corrected via
a coefficient of 0,25 according to Formula (A.1) for rating conditions B, C and D.
For rating condition A, the COP is not corrected.
Refrigerating capacity QR is the capacity at the given ambient temperature rating condition.

A.3 Condensing unit with stepwise capacity control

For stepwise capacity control the COPcor is interpolated between two given capacity control steps QR and
QR,low, without degradation, or between a capacity control step and off mode with degradation according
to Formula (A.1), whereby QR is the value for the chosen capacity control step.

A.4 Calculation of SEPR

For every ambient temperature tamb,j the value for COPcor,j is calculated, see Table A.2. Between the four
rating conditions A, B, C and D the COPcor,j is interpolated linearly depending on ambient temperature
between the two nearest rating conditions. For tamb,j below rating condition D the COPcor,j is kept on the
value of condition D, above rating condition A the COP is kept at the value of A.
The SEPR is calculated via the 58 values for the yearly duration dj per ambient temperature degree step

Relationship between this European Standard and the eco-design

requirements of Commission Regulation (EU) No 2015/1095
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request M/495
(Ecodesign) to provide one voluntary means of conforming to the ecodesign requirements of
Commission Regulation (EU) No 2015/1095 of 5 May 2015 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of
the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for professional
refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Regulation,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding ecodesign
requirements of that Regulation and associated EFTA regulations.
Table ZA.1 — Correspondence between this European Standard and Commission Regulation
(EU) No 2015/1095 of 5 May 2015 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for professional
refrigerated storage cabinets, blast cabinets, condensing units and process chillers and
Commission’s standardization request M/495 (Ecodesign)
