ASHRAE Standard 206-2013
Method of Testing for Rating of Multi-Purpose Heat Pumps for Residential Space Conditioning and Water Heating
Wayne Reedy Oak Ridge National Laboratory
2 Presentation name
BACKGROUND
• Development of standard was supported by ORNL as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s effort to facilitate market penetration of multifunction heat pumps.
• In order to achieve an instantly recognizable, authoritative document, a test standard was requested of ASHRAE, which in turn established a Standard Project Committee to develop Standard 206
3 Presentation name
• Committee was made up of 15 voting members, representing manufactures, testing laboratories, electric utilities, and a university; AHRI was a non-voting member.
SPC 206 INCLUDED REPRESENTATION FROM ALL
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
4 Presentation name
Standard 206 applies to electrically powered unitary heat pump equipment that provides both space conditioning and water heating functions, and may include other functions, such as dehumidification and/or ventilation.
SCOPE
5 Presentation name
• Standard 206 addresses air-source, water-source, ground water-source, ground-source closed loop, and direct geoexchange equipment.
• It applies to air-source equipment rated below 19,000 W (65,000 Btu/h), and water-source, ground water-source, ground-source closed loop, and direct geoexchange equipment rated below 40,000 W (135,000 Btu/h).
SCOPE
6 Presentation name
• Standard 206 addresses single-capacity, dual-capacity, and variable-capacity equipment
• Provides for up to 7 modes of equipment operationo Space conditioning onlyo Dedicated water heatingo Dehumidification+space conditioningo Dehumidificationo Space conditioning+water heatingo Dehumidification+space conditioning+water
heatingo Dehumidification+water heating
SCOPE
7 Presentation name
• Space conditioning may be heating or cooling
• Dehumidification may be during summer or winter
• Dedicated water heating may be during summer or winter, with the heat source being either indoor or outdoor
SCOPE
8 Presentation name
• Test procedure covers packaged, split, mini-split, and triple split equipment configurations
• Refrigerant-to-water HX may be internal or external to a heat pump section or water storage tank
• Specifies refrigerant and water line lengths/configuration for all options

Conditioning and Heat Pump Equipment (Steady-State Performance)
• ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 116Methods of Testing for Rating Seasonal Efficiency of Unitary Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps
STANDARD 206 IS AN EXTENSION OF AND CONSISTENT WITH:
10 Presentation name
• AHRI Standard 210/240 Standard for Unitary Air-Conditioning and Air-Source Heat Pump
Equipment
• ANSI/AHRI/ASHRAE ISO Standard 13256-1Water-source heat pumps - testing and rating for performance - Part 1: Water-to-air and brine-to-air heat pumps
• AHRI Standard 870Standard for Performance Rating of Direct GeoExchange Heat Pumps
• ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 118.2Method of Testing for Rating Residential Water Heaters

11 Presentation name
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 137Methods of Testing for Efficiency of Space-Conditioning/Water-
Heating Appliances that Include a Desuperheater Water Heater
and
various waivers from DOE’s Central Air Conditioner and Central Air Conditioning Heat Pump Test Procedure
STANDARD 206 SHOULD REPLACE:
12 Presentation name
• Water heating load
• Space latent load
• Space sensible load
CALCULATION PROCEDURE IS A BIN PROCESS BASED ON:
13 Presentation name
• Three performance descriptors are used to completely describe the performance of the combined appliance:
o Combined appliance space conditioning performance for the cooling season;
o Combined appliance space conditioning performance for the heating season;
o Combined appliance water heating performance on an annual basis.
• In all cases, the descriptor ends in a subscript “ca” to designate “combined appliance”.
