Energetic Efficiency

In order to perform energetic efficiency test reports Consultar has all the necessary equipment to register onto PC the measurable variables required. This not only allows to obtain a final value but also performs a close inspection on the evolution of power consumption, measuring every 2 seconds.

There is also equipment capable of measuring environmental noise and a chamber sector of excellent acustic isolation to test the noise produced by the samples.

Among the norms applied for these tests these are the most relevant:

IRAM Norm	Description
IRAM 2404-1	Appliances used for domestic refrigeration. Specification of energy consumption and noise level. Procedures for the measurement of electric energy consumption and associated features.
IRAM 2120-2	Appliances used for domestic refrigeration. Refrigerators with or without low temperature chamber. Tests procedures and features.
IRAM 2120-3	Appliances used for domestic refrigeration. Refrigerators. Coolers. Refrigerators with Freezer. Tests procedures and features.
IRAM 2120-4	Appliances used for domestic refrigeration. Refrigerators with or without low temperature chamber to freeze and keep food.
IRAM 2120-5	Household frost-free refrigerating appliances. Refrigerators, refrigerator with freezers, frozen food storage cabinets and food freezers cooled by internal forced air circulation. Characteristics and test methods.
