"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."
