2.5 Performance curve
The cooling and heating capacities are measured in the following conditions. The actual capacity
can be obtained with the following formula.
Actual capacity = Rating capacity x Correction factor
(1) Capacity correction according to indoor and outdoor temperatures:
Outdoor air W.B. temperature (°C W.B.) ISO-T1 Standard
⑵ Capacity correction according to one way length of refrigerant piping:
It is necessary to correct the cooling and heating capacity according to the one way length of
refrigerant piping.
⑶ Capacity correction according to frosting on outdoor heat exchanger during heating:
In additions to the foregoing corrections (1) and (2), the heating capacity also needs to be
corrected according to the frosting on the outdoor heat exchanger.

⑷ Example of cooling and heating capacity calculation:
The actual cooling capacity of model SRK25QA-S with the one way piping length of 25m at the
indoor wet-bulb temperature of 19℃ and outdoor dry-bulb temperature of 35℃in summer or
indoor dry-bulb temperature of 20℃, outdoor dry-bulb temperature of 1℃and indoor wet-bulb
temperature of -1℃ in winter is
Actual cooling capacity = 2500 x 1.0 x 0.95 ≈ 2375W
