ASHRAE Standard 150-2019 Method of Testing the Performance of Cool-Storage Systems
ASHRAE Standard 150-2019 developed to provide a uniform method for evaluating the performance of cool-storage systems installed in buildings or central plants. Its intended users are Owners, operators, consultants, and others. The test method provided in this standard will eliminate the need to develop a specific test procedure for each individual project. Hereinafter in this foreword, “system” means “cool storage system” unless noted otherwise.
Standard 150 provides a method for determining the cooling performance of a given installation at the time of turnover to the Owner or at any time during its useful life. The standard includes options for testing a system at times when less than the peak load is available. A method given for defining test loads that enable the user to determine if the system would perform as expected when subjected to the actual peak load. The standard can also be used to determine the maximum performance of a new or existing system. This information may be desired to optimize the system or to determine the system’s current capability prior to an increase in load or other changes.

It recognized that field testing is costly, and this standard may not provide sufficient benefit to warrant its use at every cool-storage installation. Some packaged or modular systems can be provided with sufficient data to establish their expected or design performance without field testing. However, the user still may elect to carry out a field evaluation to help ensure that the system will perform under peak design conditions or to qualify for utility or government incentives.
