Description

ASHRAE Standard 113 defines a method of testing air diffusion performance in the occupied zone of spaces such as offices or similar buildings. The method is designed for use in both prototype and field installations. The revised 2022 edition removes directional anemometers from the acceptable test instruments in Section 5 removed Draft Rating Method from Informative Appendix B adds new Section B2, “Air Diffusion Performance Index for Heating” to Informative Appendix B revises Informative Appendix C example calculations adds new Informative Appendix E, “Rotating Vane Anemometer Flow Measuring System” adds new Informative Appendix F, “Equations” adds new Informative Appendix G, “Informative References” Updates references

4	Foreword 1. Purpose 2. Scope 2.1 This standard specifies equipment and procedures for measuring air speed and air temperature in occupied zones of building spaces. 2.2 This standard applies to furnished or unfurnished spaces (actual or mock-up), with or without occupants. 2.3 This standard applies to air distribution systems, including systems in which 2.4 This standard does not cover 3. Definitions
6	4. Classification Of Parameters 4.1 The classification of air distribution systems to which this standard may be applied includes mixing systems, displacement ventilation (DV) systems, underfloor air distribution (UFAD) systems, and task/ambient conditioning (TAC) systems. 4.2 Air temperature and air speed are the only variables measured and assumed to be pertinent to the test methods described in this standard. 5. Instruments And Apparatus 5.1 Air Motion 5.2 Air Temperature
7	5.3 Heat Load Simulators 6. Test Conditions And Procedures 6.1 Testing shall be conducted under steady-state conditions after the reference temperature is within 2°F (1°C) of the design temperature. Steady-state conditions are considered to have been achieved when the air quantity delivered to the space do… 6.2 The following test procedure shall be followed.
8	7. Measurements And Measurement Locations 7.1 A fixed point in the test zone shall be selected as the reference temperature measurement point. The air temperature at this point shall be measured at the same time as each set of measurements are taken at each test position throughout the durat… 7.2 At each measurement point, the air speed and air temperature shall be recorded for a minimum period of 3 minutes at a sampling interval of 2 to 4 seconds. These results shall be used to determine mean air speed and mean air temperature. 7.3 Velocity and temperature measurements shall be taken in a series of test positions. A minimum of four test positions shall be uniformly distributed throughout the test zone, with a minimum spacing of 2 ft (0.6 m) and a maximum spacing of 6 ft (1…. 7.4 For UFAD and task/ambient conditioning TAC systems, test positions within clear zones shall not be included in the rating evaluation. The reference temperature measurement point shall not be located within any clear zone. Otherwise, the measureme… 7.5 If test locations are desired that do not comply with Sections 7.3 or 7.4 (i.e., velocity and temperature measurements within 2 ft [0.6 m] of a vertical surface), additional detail must be provided in the test report explaining the exact location… 8. Report 8.1 The report shall include a sketch defining the dimensions of the test space, the location of the occupied zone, the location(s) of the test zone(s), the size and locations of the air outlets and inlets, test planes and test positions, the heat lo… 8.2 The report shall include the following calculated and measured data. 9.

Temperature Correction A1.1 All reference temperatures recorded should be averaged to obtain the average temperature at the reference point during the test. A1.2 At each reading of temperatures at a test position, the reference point temperature should be compared to the average reference temperature to determine a temperature correction factor to be applied to all test- point temperatures at that test p… A1.3 The test-position temperature correction factor should be added to all corresponding test-point temperatures. This procedure corrects the test-point temperature for any swing in the reference temperature. A1.4 The same corrections should be made to the air supply outlet temperatures measured concurrent with the test-position temperatures. A2. Average Test Zone Temperature

Performance Evaluation for Stratified Systems B3.1 Description of the Clear Zone. During the placement of floor diffusers for UFAD systems, a clear zone is typically defined as an imaginary cylinder of specified radius around the center point of the diffuser. Clear zones are generally 1.5 to 3 f…

Compliance Alternative 2 D2.1 It may be desirable to determine compliance with thermal comfort requirements established in ASHRAE Standard 55 G1 or ISO 7730 G2. If so, the following additional measurements or calculations are required to obtain the necessary data: D3. Compliance Alternative 3 D3.1 The measurement of mean radiant temperature and water vapor partial pressure are required to calculate predicted mean vote (PMV) and predicted percentage of dissatisfied (PPD) in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 55 G1 and ISO 7730 G2.

General E1.1 The rotating vane anemometer flow measuring system consists of a straight length of duct with a rotating vane anemometer, humidity measuring instrument, and a temperature probe (see Figure E-1).

Following is a list of components to be used for calibrating … E2.2 The rotating vane anemometer flow station must be constructed to minimize the potential for leakage. The flowmeter and calibrating airflow meter shall be concentric, straight, and level. E2.3 The rotating vane anemometer measuring system must be calibrated over its entire range of use.
