FOREWORD
Addendum l modifies portions of ASHRAE Standard 15 to incorporate requirements for commercial refrigeration applications with the use of A2L, A2, and A3 refrigerants. The text is developed in response to CMP0004-001, in conjunction with proposed product safety standard UL/CSA 60335-2-89, as well as research performed in collaboration with AHRI, ASHRAE, the U.S. DOE, and California Energy Commission.
The use of flammable refrigerants for commercial refrigeration applications in many of the new requirements concentrated in Section 7.7 is very similar to that of the existing requirements for A2L refrigerants for human comfort applications found mostly in Section 7.6. A2L requirements for human comfort were published in Addendum d to Standard 15-2016. Notably, several of the Section 7.7 requirements refer back to Section 7.6.
Note: In this addendum, changes to the current standard are indicated in the text by underlining (for additions) and strikethrough (for deletions) unless the instructions specifically mention some other means of indicating the changes.
