EER is defined as the net cooling capacity (in Btuh) divided by the total electrical power input (in watts), as shown in EQ – 1. EER is calculated at a single very specific operating point and is typically only applied for commercial equipment 6 nominal tons. EER = NetCapacit( y Btuh) (see supplemental equations EQ 3-6) EQ-1 PowerInput( )kW For applicable units, manufacturers must rate their units per the ARI defined operating conditions. This must officially be determined EER from actual laboratory test measurements, and results in an EERARI . The ARI defined EER conditions are: o Evaporator Entering Air (EAT) = 80/67 F Ambient air (condenser air) = 95oF Specific static pressure requirements that vary with the tonnage. No outside ventilation air is specified. No specific indoor airflow rate. However, the same equation can be applied at any other specific operating condition. In this case the resulting value is an application specific EER value, or EERApp . Care must be taken not to confuse the two…any appl
