Empty run test data
Wascator FOM 71 CLS
Empty run test data
During the RRT2008 ring test, data was obtained from a number
of laboratories. This data is useful when checking that the refe-
rence machine in the laboratory is performing as expected.
Please note: This data is obtained from runs with an unloaded
machine. Therefore, the energy and process times obtained
here cannot be compared with the same parameters applied
during a test series carried out with a loaded machine. However,
empty test runs are not affected by load differentials or deter-
gent batches and will only produce results that are specific to
the machine.
Table 1 below shows the estimated/defined values for Cotton
60°C,aswellasaveragevaluesfromtheRRT2008ringtest.
The RRT 2008 average values were obtained from the RRT 008
IEC/CENELEC/CECED ring test. These values are based on
empty run tests undertaken at 20 different laboratories.
The definitions used in Table 1 differ from those given in IEC
60456 and below are applicable to Table1.
Definitions
Total program time: Time from the start of first filling to
the start of the retardation phase at
the end extraction sequence.
Heating time: The time until the heating relays have
been switched on during the diffe-
rent heating periods.
Total main wash time: The time from start of first filling until
the start of first rinse water supply.
Filling time of water: The first filling time (26 litre). From
closure of door lock relay to end of
filling.
Cold water inlet temperature: The temperature of the supplied cold
water.
Temp at end of heating in
enzyme step: The temperature at the time the hea-
ting relay is switched off after reach
ing the 40ºC enzyme step.
Temp at the end of the
enzyme step: The temperature in the bath just
prior to the heating up to 60ºC.
