Where “shall“ or “shall not“ is used fo

21、r a provision specified, that provision is mandatory if compliance with the standard is claimed. 3.5.2 Should. “Should“ is used to indicate provisions which are not mandatory but which are desirable as good practice. 3.6 Thermostatic Refrigerant Expansion Valve. A controlling device which regulates

22、the flow of volatile refrigerant into an evaporator of a refrigeration system and which is actuated by changes in evaporator pressure and superheat of the refrigerant gas leaving the evaporator. 3.7 Thermostatic Refrigerant Expansion Valve Pressure Drop. The pressure drop across the valve, which is

23、the net pressure difference between the valve inlet and outlet. 3.8 Thermostatic Refrigerant Expansion Valve Superheat. The difference between the temperature of the thermal bulb and the dew point temperature corresponding to the refrigerant pressure at the valve outlet, or at the equalizer connecti

24、on, when provided. 3.8.1 Static Superheat. The superheat at which the manufacturer calibrates or “sets“ the thermostatic expansion valve. 3.9 Vapor-Free (Subcooled) Liquid Refrigerant. Refrigerant which has been cooled below the bubble point temperature for a given pressure. Section 4. Test Requirem

25、ents 4.1 Testing for Capacity. Thermostatic refrigerant expansion valve ratings shall be based on tests conducted in accordance with the test procedure outlined in ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 17. 4.1.1 Alternative flow test methods may be used provided the results obtained can be confirmed by the test meth

26、od specified in 4.1 within the tolerance specified in 5.5. Section 5. Rating Requirements 5.1 Published Capacity Ratings. Published capacity ratings shall consist of Standard Ratings and may include Application Ratings. Such ratings shall be based on tests of valves made for use with the refrigerant

27、 specified in the ratings. All Published Ratings shall be based on Vapor-free (Subcooled) Liquid Refrigerant entering the Thermostatic Refrigerant Expansion Valve. The tests shall be made in accordance with the test procedure outlined in Section 4 of this standard. 5.1.1 Standard Ratings. Standard R

28、atings of capacity shall be published for all Standard Rating Conditions, shown in Table 1, falling within the intended range of application of the valve. 5.1.2 Nominal Rating. The nominal rating is the equivalent capacity rating of the valve at the 40F 4C evaporator Standard Rating Condition (See S

29、tandard Rating Condition A in Table 1). 5.1.3 Application Ratings. Application Ratings provide capacities under operating conditions which differ from those in Table 1. Wherever Application Ratings are published or printed, they shall include a statement of conditions at which the ratings apply and

30、be accompanied by the pertinent Standard Rating(s) clearly designated as such. 5.2 Interpolation and Extrapolation of Air Test Data. Published capacity ratings shall be based on air-fixture tests made at two or more evaporator dew point temperatures. Air-fixture test data may be extrapolated or inte

31、rpolated no more than 15F 8C from test points and only when the same thermostatic charge is used. In the case of Refrigerants R-12 and R-134a, data may be extrapolated a maximum of 25F 14C below the lowest test point in order to obtain a rating at -40F -40C evaporator dew point temperature. 5.3 Supe

32、rheat Change. Every published capacity rating shall be based on the capacity resulting from a superheat change above the Static Superheat. This superheat change shall not exceed 7F 4C for any Published Rating unless clearly designated. Copyright Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute Provided

34、ings shall be based on data obtained in accordance with the provisions of this section, and shall be such that any production Thermostatic Refrigerant Expansion Valve selected at random and tested shall produce not less than 95% of its published rated capacity.

Wherever Application Ratings are published or printed, they shall include a statement of the conditions at which the ratings apply. 6.2 Published Capacity Ratings. Capaci

38、ty ratings for net refrigerant capacity, Btu/h W or tons of refrigeration kW, shall be published along with at least the following pertinent operating conditions: a. Refrigerant designation(s) per ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34 with Addenda b. Evaporator dew point temperature, F C c. Pressure drop across t
