| Status: | inactive |
| Page Count: | 16 |
scope:
This standard is applicable to refrigerant solenoid valves in the following circumstances:
• as defined in Section 3, Definitions;
• for either liquid or vapor refrigerant applications; and
• to be used with refrigerants deemed available and suitable according to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15, Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems,2 and ANSI/ ASHRAE Standard 34, Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants.3 2.2 This standard specifies procedures, apparatus, and instrumentation that will produce accurate capacity data.
This standard does not do the following:
• specify rating conditions or electrical or mechanical design requirements (rating conditions may be found in ANSI/AHRI Standard 760, Performance Rating of Solenoid Valves for Use with Volatile Refrigerants1);
• make recommendations for safety; or
• specify tests for production, specification compliance, or field testing of solenoid valves.
