"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 c.For use with refrigerants deemed available and suitable according to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15@ Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems1@ and ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 342@ Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants. 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 ANSI/AHRI Standard 760@ Performance Rating of Solenoid Valves for Use with Volatile Refrigerants3@ for I-P units@ or ANSI/AHRI Standards 761@ Performance Rating of Solenoid Valves for Use with Volatile Refrigeratants4@ for SI units.) b.Make recommendations for safety 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. 1 ASHRAE. 2016.
