scope:
This standard applies to External-drive, Hermetic, and Semi-Hermetic Positive Displacement Refrigerant Compressors. In the case of External-drive Refrigerant Compressors, the driving mechanism shall be excluded from the sound and vibration measurements. However, for Semi-Hermetic Refrigerant Compressors where the driving mechanism is an integral part of the compressor assembly as defined in Section 3, it shall be included in the measurements.
Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to establish for the rating of sound and vibration for Refrigerant Compressors: definitions; test requirements; rating requirements; minimum data requirements for published ratings; and conformance conditions.
