In 2009, the NSF Joint Committee on Plastics and RV Plumbing Components proposed to develop this Standard after a

18、 need was identified in the industry. Plastic piping system components are used in the construction of earth energy systems yet there is no North American standard addressing all relevant aspects of earth energy systems. It is the intent of this Standard to assist in a more consistent approval and m

19、ainstream code adoption of the geothermal piping systems technology. This Standard will be separated into four separate documents based on material types. NSF/ANSI 358-1 addresses products in polyethylene systems. This edition of NSF/ANSI 358-1 includes the following revisions: Issue 2 This issue up

20、dated normative references in section 2, language in section 5.3, editorial correction in sections 6.1, 6.3.1 and 6.3.2, and updates to table 4. This Standard was developed by the NSF Joint Committee on Plastics using the consensus process described by the American National Standards Institute. Sugg

21、estions for improvement of this Standard are welcome. This Standard is maintained on a Continuous Maintenance schedule and can be opened for comment at any time.

24、othermal” Heat Pump Systems 1 General 1.1 Purpose This Standard establishes the minimum physical and performance requirements for plastic piping system components. These criteria were established for the protection of property, public health and the environment. 1.2 Scope The physical and performanc

25、e requirements in this Standard apply to plastic piping system components as well as non-plastic components of the ground loop heat exchanger including, but not limited to, pipes and fittings used in water-based ground-source heat pump systems. This Standard is intended for ground loop heat exchange

26、rs with a maximum temperature and pressure of 140 F (60 C) at 100 psi. Water-based ground-source heat pump systems commonly include the use of anti-freeze, heat transfer fluids or other chemical additives. This Standard does not cover refrigerant based ground loop heat exchangers such as direct expa

27、nsion (DX) systems. This Standard does not cover hydronic heating or cooling systems within buildings. 2 Normative references The following documents contain provisions that, through reference, constitute provisions of this NSF Standard.
