Off grid and unreliable grid refrigerating appliances for domestic and light commercial use - Characteristics and test methods - Performance requirements and energy consumption

Апстракт

IEC 63437:2025 specifies the essential characteristics of off grid and unreliable grid refrigerating appliances for domestic and similar use or light commercial use, cooled by internal natural or forced air convection. It defines input voltage supply signals for appliances designed for unreliable grid and off grid conditions.

An unreliable grid condition can be the result of disturbances on the electricity supply, such as power outages, or issues with power quality, such as voltage spikes and surges, that could cause performance challenges to refrigerating appliances. An off grid supply, in this context, for example is generated by a solar panel or a stand-alone solar home system that is not connected to the power grid. This document simulates the power characteristics in off grid and unreliable grid conditions but does not specify requirements or test procedures to assess performance of generators, solar panels, solar home system or any other system generating a supply signal.

The supply signals defined in this document can also be used for evaluation of the performance of other refrigerating appliances such as medical or laboratory appliances, professional storage refrigerators or freezers, refrigerated display cabinets, beverage coolers or ice cream freezers.

This document specifies the test methods for measuring the functional performance characteristics and requirements. This document does not apply to refrigerating appliances designed for a good quality and stable electricity grid and refrigerating appliances utilising fuelled absorption cooling technology.

This document is applicable to any refrigerating appliance for domestic or light commercial use that has a rated performance to properly operate off grid or under unreliable grid operating conditions resisting power interruptions and supply variations. Off grid and unreliable grid refrigerating appliances are appliances intended to for use with standalone or intermittent or distorted electrical mains. Electrical mains supply is assumed to be alternating current (AC) for unreliable grid or direct current (DC) for off grid. This document is also applicable to hybrid refrigerating appliances.
