SPECIFICATION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION 3.1 The equipment shall be suitable for use in an automotive service g

21、arage environment and be capable of continuous operation in ambient temperatures from 10 to 49 C. 3.2 The equipment must be certified that it meets this standard by a certifying Laboratory as listed by the EPA administrator as identified under U.S. EPA 40 CFR Ch. 1 (7-01-08 edition) 82.38. 3.3 The e

22、quipment must meet all feature content and functional requirements of both SAE J2788 for R-134a and SAE J2843 for R-1234yf, and pass all test requirements of these standards. In addition, it must pass a changeover test to determine that any refrigerant cross-contamination is within the limits of thi

23、s standard, as described in Section 6 of this document. A changeover mode, beginning with a clearing procedure to minimize the amount of residual refrigerant in the plumbing lines, may be specified immediately prior to the test, which is described in Sections 5, 6. 3.3.1 The laboratory may test R-13

24、4a for SAE J2788 and SAE J2843 for R-1234yf in either order. Before proceeding to the second refrigerant and following the second refrigerant but prior to the cross-contamination test, it must ensure the machine has been cleared of either choice for the first refrigerant using laboratory equipment o

25、f confirmed performance capability for the changeover mode previously described. It may not rely on the clearing procedure built into the machine by the equipment manufacturer, as this will not be validated until the entire SAE J3030 procedure has been completed. 3.4 The equipment shall have a label

26、 which states “Design Certified by (Certifying Laboratory) to meet SAE J3030 for recovering, recycling and recharging R-1234yf or R134a using common refrigerant circuits, design certified to meet SAE J2788 certified for high-voltage service, when configured for R-134a. Design certified to meet SAE J

27、2843 when configured for R-1234yf. Label shall use bold-type letters a minimum of 3 mm in height. 4. EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR MACHINES DESIGNED TO USE BOTH REFRIGERANTS ON AN ONGOING BASIS 4.1 General 4.1.1 The equipment shall have an electronically-controlled electro-mechanical lockout to permit

28、the recovery, recycle, recharge sequence of either R-1234yf or R-134a, based on a sample from the vehicle system and a subsequent readout of the appropriate refrigerant from an identifier that meets SAE J2912. If it determines that the vehicle does not contain R-1234yf or R-134a in the required puri

29、ty, it shall not permit refrigerant recovery. 4.1.2 The equipment shall have a pre-select feature, so the operator can pick the refrigerant system he wishes to service. As a default, the equipment shall retain in non-volatile memory the refrigerant in the last system serviced, and display it when th

30、e machine is turned on, either as an externally-obvious mechanical setup, or by electronic display if the setup is internal. If the refrigerant service setup of the machine is different from the vehicle to be serviced, the machine shall require performing of the equipment manufacturers specified cle

31、aring procedure. If the refrigerant is the same as in the previous operation of the machine, no clearing procedure will be necessary. SAE INTERNATIONAL J3030 Revised JUL2015 Page 4 of 13 4.1.3 Test To establish basic eligibility for certification to this standard, the equipment shall be tested by th

32、e certifying laboratory to ensure it responds appropriately to the refrigerant identifiers signal using the following steps. The analyzer in this test shall be one certified to SAE J2912. 1. The machine shall be set to R-134a mode with an active SAE J2912-compliant refrigerant analyzer (also set to

33、R-134a mode if necessary) attached internally or SAE J2912 attached externally 2. The machine or analyzer shall be connected to an R-134a source by the certifying laboratory to verify that the machine accepts the refrigerant analyzer signal and allows recovery of that refrigerant. 3. With the machin

34、e in R-134a mode, the machine and/or external analyzer shall be connected to an R-1234yf source to verify that the machine accepts the refrigerant analyzer R-12347yf signal and prevents recovery of the R-1234yf refrigerant. 4. The machine and/or analyzer if necessary shall be set to R-1234yf mode wi

35、th an active internal or external refrigerant analyzer attached to an R-1234yf source, The certifying laboratory shall test to ensure the analyzer instructs the machine to enter R-1234yf mode and that the machine accepts the analyzer signal and allows recovery of that refrigerant. 5. With the machin

36、e in R-1234yf mode, the machine or analyzer shall be connected to an R-134a source to verify that the machine accepts the R-1234yf refrigerant analyzer signal and prevents recovery of the R-134a refrigerant. 4.1.3.1 A physical means shall be provided to prevent recycle or recharge into both an R1234

37、yf and R134a mobile air conditioning system concurrently. The certifying laboratory shall inspect for its presence and ensure it operates for this purpose. 4.1.4 The machine shall not be equipped with refrigerant oil injection. 4.1.5 Transfer of Recycled Refrigerant Recycled refrigerant for rechargi

38、ng and transfer shall be taken from the liquid phase only. 4.2 Seat Leakage Tests 4.2.1 Valves, including electrically operated solenoid valves, that are used to isolate R-1234yf and R-134a refrigerant circuits, shall have a seat leakage rate below 4 g/year (0.15 oz/year) before and after 100,000 cy

39、cles of operation. This endurance test shall be conducted with R-134a and R-1234yf at maximum operating pressure that would be encountered during the recycling procedures for SAE J2788 and SAE J2843. The Seat Leakage Tests shall be performed at 1.5 times this pressure at an ambient of 21-24 C. These

40、 tests may be performed by the manufacturer/supplier of the parts and validating data supplied to the independent testing laboratory certifying the equipment to this standard. 4.3 Interlocks 4.3.1 Electrical interlock devices that are used to prevent cross contamination of refrigerant shall be opera

41、ted for 100 000 cycles and there shall be no failure that would permit cross contamination of refrigerant. Solid state interlock devices shall comply with the requirements for a Class B Control Function per the Standard for Automatic Electrical Circuits for Household and Similar Use, Part 1 General

42、Requirements UL 60730 -1. SAE INTERNATIONAL J3030 Revised JUL2015 Page 5 of 13 4.4 Equipment requirements for machines designed for a one-time changeover 4.4.1 Although the manufacturer may use an approach that includes mechanical or electro-mechanical switching, it also may choose to offer a conver

43、sion kit for the changeover. This kit must be designed to be tamper-resistant, in that once converted, the machine cannot be retrofitted to the first refrigerant. So that the tamper resistance should result in a machine that can only be serviced with parts for the refrigerant to which it was changed

44、. The test laboratory certifying the equipment to this standard shall execute the changeover and evaluate it for what it can reasonably consider tamper resistance. 5. TESTING The testing shall be separated into three modes, so that a failure in any one permits the equipment manufacturer to identify

45、and address the applicable issue. However, the only mode for which a separate retest is permitted is the changeover. The test fixture shown as Figure 1 in SAE J2843, or a functional equivalent, should be used. Although a clearing procedure between the tests for SAE J2788 and SAE J2843 is permitted,

46、the laboratory shall perform testing for one of these two standards, then clear the machine per 3.3.1, as the equipment makers clearing procedure is not validated until the final test for cross-contamination. If the machine meets the standard for one refrigerant, following its validated clearing pro

47、cedure, the laboratory may proceed to perform the testing for the second standard. However, the cross-contamination test described in 6.2 must be performed last. 5.1 Equipment shall be tested in sequence as noted in SAE J2843 and SAE J2788, and only following successful completion of all testing to

48、those standards, shall it undergo the changeover test to ensure there is no excessive cross-contamination, following the sequence in section 6 6. REFRIGERANT CROSS CONTAMINATION TEST 6.1 General 6.1.1 For test validation, the equipment is to be operated according to the manufacturers instructions. 6

49、.2 Test Cycle The following method shall be used after the tests and requirements for SAE J2788 and J2843 are completed. If the machine has separate onboard tanks, one for each refrigerant, the laboratory shall ensure they are empty prior to beginning the cross-contamination testing. Following the manufacturers instructions, the equipment shall be cleared of R - 134a, prior to beginning step a. The test fixture shown in
