Bonneville Power Administration standards are 9.0 HSPF, 14 SEER. Check with utility regarding equipment eligibility if below these standards.
Check unit operating at full capacity unless conditions do not permit. Attach additional sheets as needed if test must be re-run.
1. Record expected CFM/ton based on fan wiring board settings
2. Measure return static pressure
3. Measure supply plenum static pressure
4. Calculate external static pressure: add values in #2 and #3 together, ignoring the minus sign and absolute value.
An External Static Pressure of 200 Pa (0.8 inches H²O) or more in Step 4 can result in extreme fan energy use and early fan failure.
Use the Technical Resources section at https://www.bpa.gov to determine acceptable performance, unless using alternative method.
1. Measure Normal Supply Operating Pressure (NSOP) [A]
2. Check TrueFlow plate size and units
3. Note TrueFlow plate location
4. Measure Supply Pressure with TrueFlow plate in (TFSOP) [B]
5. Calculate Correction Factor [C]
6. Measure plate pressure
7. Enter Raw Flow CFM from tables [D]
8. Calculate Corrected Flow (CFM=CF × [D])
9. Calculate CFM/ton
Run unit for at least 15 minutes in compressor-only mode before taking. Use the Technical Resources section at https://www.pba.gov to determine acceptable performance, unless using alternative method.
Heating Mode (65°F or lower)
Cooling Mode (Higher than 65°F)
Alternative Method
