| Organization: | ASHRAE |
| Publication Date: | 29 January 2004 |
| Status: | inactive |
| Page Count: | 16 |
scope:
This standard is applicable to refrigerant solenoid valves in the following circumstances:
(a) as defined in Section 3, "Definitions,"
(b) for either liquid or vapor refrigerant applications, and
(c) to be used with refrigerants deemed available and suitable according to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15-2001, Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems,1 and ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34-2001, Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants.2
This standard specifies procedures, apparatus, and instrumentation that will produce accurate capacity data.
This standard does not do the following:
(a) specify rating conditions or electrical or mechanical design requirements; rating conditions may be found in ARI Standard 760, Solenoid Valves for Use with Volatile Refrigerants;3
(b) make recommendations for safety; or
(c) specify tests for production, specification compliance, or field testing of solenoid valves.
PURPOSE
This standard prescribes a method of testing the capacity of refrigerant solenoid valves for use in refrigerating systems.
