ASHRAE STD 41.9
Standard Methods for Volatile-Refrigerant Mass Flow Measurements Using Calorimeters
| Organization: | ASHRAE |
| Publication Date: | 29 January 2011 |
| Status: | inactive |
| Page Count: | 24 |
scope:
This standard applies to the measurement of the flow of a volatile refrigerant in the following cases:
a. where the entire flow stream of the volatile refrigerant enters the calorimeter as a subcooled liquid and leaves as a superheated vapor (evaporator-type), and
b. where the entire flow stream of the volatile refrigerant enters the calorimeter as a superheated vapor and leaves as a subcooled liquid (condenser-type).
This standard applies to all of the refrigerants listed in ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34, Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants.1
PURPOSE
This standard provides recommended practices for measuring the mass flow rate of volatile refrigerants using calorimeters.
