Cer t i f i ed and App l i ed Rat i ngs
Certified Ratings are at specific conditions as required byStandard 1060.
Certified Ratings can be useful for comparison, but their
greatest value is to support application ratings.
Application Ratings are for the range of operating conditions,
catalogued or otherwise. They must be consistent with the
Certified Ratings.
Application Ratings are used to evaluate performance in a
given design and/or climate.
Both catalog data and performance software should provideresults that are consistent. Confidence in the Application
Ratings comes from the Certified Ratings.

Therm al Per f o r manc e and
Pressure Loss
Sensible, Latent and Total Effectiveness at 100% and 75% of
rated flow.
Net Effectiveness ratings are corrected for leakage effects.
These ratings are repeated for both winter and summer
conditions.
Pressure Drop at 100% of rated flow.

A i r f l o w an d L eak ag e
Two leakage characteristics at three different pressures
EATR is exhaust air transferred from return to supply.
OACF is the ratio of outdoor air to supply air.
The ratings at three different pressure conditions provide
confirmation of the shape of these leakage curves.

Ef fec t iveness Sensible effectiveness.
Latent effectiveness.
Total effectiveness.
Effectiveness ratings and tests are at balanced flow and 0
WC pressure differential between return and supply.
At 95/78 outdoor and 75/63 indoor summer conditions.
At 35/33 outdoor and 70/58 indoor winter conditions.
Determine which ratings are significant for your application.
Measured effectiveness determines the leaving air
conditions.

Net Ef fec t iveness Rat ings
Adjusted for the impacts of leakage as required.
Net effectiveness ratings provide information on the
actual energy recovered.
Small differences may not show up in the certifiedratings due to program tolerances.
Significant impacts do show up in the certified net
ratings.
Modeling and submittals should provide the net values
for the application. Net airflow too!

Ef fec t iveness
Definition of Effectiveness:
Effectiveness is not efficiency.
Effectiveness can be misleading:
Small differences are not significant.
Watch out for unequal flows!
7/27/2019 Wellford Seminar13
10/17
Ef fec t iveness
The impact of unequal flows on effectiveness:
The effectiveness is correct, but it must be applied to
the minimum flow to calculate energy impacts.

Pressure Loss
Delta P in inches of water column across the supply side
of the heat exchanger at 100% of rated flow.
Certified Ratings are at standard air conditions in SCFM.
Application ratings may be provided for a variety of
airflows in SCFM.
Applied performance should be calculated at applied
conditions in ACFM.

E A T R
EATR is the exhaust air transfer ratio (air from the return
that ends up in the supply, expressed as a percentage of
the supply air).
7/27/2019 Wellford Seminar13
13/17
Us i n g E A T R
Use EATR to evaluate component selection, fan
arrangement and fan size to meet ventilation
requirements.
Adjust the supply airflow to account for any volume of
return air in the supply.
Example: if EATR is 5%, and outside air requirement is
2000 CFM:
Supply CFM=Required OA CFM (1+EATR)=
2000 (1+0.05)=2100 CFM
In this example 2000 CFM is outside air
and 100 CFM is recirculated return air.

O A C F
The ratio of outdoor air to supply air (expressed
as a ratio).
7/27/2019 Wellford Seminar13
15/17
Us i ng O A C F
Use OACF to adjust the airflow at the hood (or the
supply fan in a push supply arrangement).
Air that leaves the supply airstream due to seal
leakage and purge volume is in addition to the
outside air in the supply airstream. Outside Air CFM=Supply Air CFM (OACF)
Example: Supply Air CFM is 2100 and OACF is 1.1:
OA CFM=2100 (1.1)=2310
2310 CFM must be brought in at the hood.

Benef i t s o f Us in g Cer t i f i ed Rat in gs
The component will perform as selected. Fans can be correctly sized to account for EATR and
OACF.
Design load reductions, and therefore system size, will
be accurate.
Operating energy savings can be accurately predicted.
Humidity performance of the component can be
characterized at conditions of interest. Other components
of the system can then be selected accordingly.
The system will perform as designed.
