CSA C300:2018 pdf download.Energy performance and capacity of household refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, freezers, and miscellaneous refrigeration products Complete temperature cycle一a time period defined based upon the cycling of compartment temperature that starts when the compartment temperature is at a maximum and ends when the compartment temperature returns to an equivalent maximum [within 0.3℃ (0.5°F) of the starting temperature], having in the interim fallen to a minimum and subsequently risen again to reach the second maximum. Alternatively, a complete temperature cycle can be defined to start when the compartment temperature is at a minimum and end when the compartment temperature returns to an equivalent minimum [within 0.3℃ (0.5 °F) of the starting temperature], having in the interim risen to a maximum and subsequently fallen again to reach the second minimum.
Compressor cycle一a time period commencing when the compressor makes the transition from the OFF mode to the ON mode and ending when the compressor again makes the transition from the OFF mode to the ON mode (i.e., a compressor cycle is one complete compressor motor ON period and one complete motor OFF period).
Note: In the context of a non-compressor product, the term "compressor cycle" means "refrigeration cycle" and the term "compressor" refers to the "refrigeration system".
Cycle一the 24 h period for which the energy use of a refrigerator, refrigerator-freezers or freezer, or miscellaneous refrigeration product is calculated. During the 24 h period, consumer-activated compartment temperature controls are set so that standardized compartment temperatures are maintained.
Cycle type一the set of test conditions having the calculated effect of operating a product for a period of 24 h, with the consumer-activated controls, other than those that control compartment temperatures, set to establish various operating characteristics.
Defrost cycle type一a distinct sequence of control whose function is to remove frost and/or ice from a refrigerated surface.
Note: There may be variations in the defrost sequence such as the number of defrost heaters energized. Each such variation establishes a separate distinct defrost test cycle. However, defrost achieved regularly during the compressor off cycles by warming the evaporator without active heat addition, although a form of automatic defrost, does not constitute a unique defrost cycle for the purpose of identifying the test period in accordance with Clauses 8 to 10.
Standard cycle一the cycle type in which the anti-sweat heater control, when provided, is set at the highest energy-consuming position.
Test cycle一the set of test conditions having the calculated effect of operating an electric refrigerator, refrigerator-freezers or freezer or wine chiller for a period of 24 h, with the consumer-activated controls, other than those that control compartment temperatures, set to establish various operating characteristics.CSA C300 pdf download.
