8、anizations, representing virtually everytechnical discipline and every facet of trade andcommerce, organized labor and consumer interests,establish and improve the some 8500 nationalconsensus standards currently approved asAmerican National Standards.ANSI provides that the interests of the publicmay

9、 have appropriate participation andrepresentation in standardization activity, andcooperates with departments and agencies of U.S.Federal, state and local governments in achievingcompatibility between government codes andstandards and the voluntary standards of industryand commerce.ANSI represents t

10、he interests of the UnitedStates in international nontreaty organizationssuch as the International Organization forStandardization (ISO) and the InternationalElectrotechnical Commission (IEC). The Institutemaintains close ties with regional organizationssuch as the Pacific Area Standards Congress(PA

11、SC) and the Pan American StandardsCommission (COPANT). As such, ANSI coordinatesthe activities involved in the U.S. participation inthese groups.ANSI approval of standards is intended toverify that the principles of openness and dueprocess have been followed in the approvalprocedure and that a conse

12、nsus of those directlyand materially affected by the standards has beenachieved. ANSI coordination is intended to assistthe voluntary system to ensure that nationalstandards needs are identified and met with a setof standards that are without conflict or unneces-sary duplication in their requirement

14、Canada, andthe creation or harmonization of Canadian andU.S. binational gas equipment standards.International Approval Services (IAS), formed in1993, has provided the technical andadministrative support required by these activities,on behalf of the co-sponsors.The Canadian Gas Association remains th

15、esponsor of the gas equipment and installationstandards programs in Canada. In the U.S.sponsorship, or the Secretariat, was transferred inMay 1996 from the American Gas Association toInternational Approval Services-U.S., Inc. AlthoughIAS-U.S. acts as secretariat of the Z21 Committee,the actions of t

16、he committee are independent ofANSI and IAS-U.S.IAS also operates a design certification programfor fuel-fired products covered by the standards,accredited by the American National StandardsInstitute and the Standards Council of Canada,and accepted by all Canadian inspectionauthorities. Through the

17、Gas Research Institute(GRI) and the Canadian Gas Research Institute(CGRI), the gas industry helps pursue theimprovement of gas equipment and thedevelopment of new products. Data from theseprojects is available to Standards Committees forreview and consideration.As technical advances take place, news

The Standards Committee and IGACnormally stipulate an effective date for theStandard.PREFACEThis publication represents a basic standard for safe operation, substantial anddurable construction, and acceptable performance of performance testing and

25、rating of gas-fired, air -conditioning and heat pumping appliances. It is the result of years of experience in the manufacture,testing, installation, maintenance, inspection and research on performance testing and rating of gas-fired, air-conditioning and heat pumping appliances designed for utiliza

26、tion of gas. There are risks ofinjury to persons inherent in appliances that, if completely eliminated, would defeat the utility of theappliance. The provisions in this standard are intended to help reduce such risks while retaining thenormal operation of the appliance.Nothing in this standard is to

27、 be considered in any way as indicating a measure ofquality beyond compliance with the provisions it contains. It is designed to allow compliance ofperformance testing and rating of gas-fired, air-conditioning and heat pumping appliances, the safetyconstruction and performance of which may exceed th

28、e various provisions specified herein. In itspreparation, recognition has been given to possibilities of improvement through ingenuity of design.As progress takes place, revisions may become necessary. When they are believed desirable,recommendations or suggestions should be forwarded to the Chairma

29、n of Accredited StandardsCommittee Z21, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44131, or the Chairman of theCanadian Gas Association Standards Steering Committee on Gas Burning Appliances and RelatedAccessories, 55 Scarsdale Road, Don Mills, Ontario, Canada, M3B 2R3.Safe and satisfactory op

30、eration of performance testing and rating of gas-fired, air-conditioning and heat pumping appliances depends to a great extent upon its proper installation, useand maintenance. It should be installed, as applicable, in accordance with the National Fuel GasCode, ANSI Z223.1; the Natural Gas Installat

31、ion Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1; the Propane Installation Code,CAN/CGA-B149.2; or the manufacturers installation instructions and local municipal codes.Users of this American National Standard/Canadian Gas Association Standard areadvised that the devices, products and activities within its scope may be sub

In Canada the Standards Committee and theInterprovincial Gas Advisory Council normally stipulate an effective date for the standard.HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPME

39、NT OF STANDARDFOR PERFORMANCE TESTING AND RATING OFGAS-FIRED, AIR-CONDITIONING AND HEAT PUMPING APPLIANCES(This History is informative and is not part of the standard.)With the onset of the Free Trade Agreementbetween the United States and Canada onJanuary 2, 1988, significant attention was givento

40、the harmonization of the United States andCanadian safety standards addressing gas-firedequipment for residential, commercial andindustrial applications. It was believed that theelimination of the differences between thestandards would remove potential tradebarriers and provide an atmosphere in whic

41、hNorth American manufacturers could marketmore freely in the United States and Canada.The harmonization of these standards was alsoseen as a step toward harmonization withinternational standards.With the formation of joint subcommittees,a Canadian Gas Association Standards SteeringCommittee on Gas B

42、urning Appliances andRelated Accessories was established to parallelAccredited Standards Committees Z21 and Z83,and to support the formation of jointsubcommittees. Operating procedures, inaccordance with American National StandardsInstitute procedures, for joint subcommitteeswere developed and subse

43、quently approved byANSI on April 1, 1993.At its March 1987 meeting, the Z21 airconditioning subcommittee was informed ofindustry interest in the development ofstandards coverage for new products whichwould heat, cool or generate electricity asseparate functions or in combination. Thesubcommittee end

44、orsed the need for suchcoverage and recommended to AccreditedStandards Committee Z21 that thesubcommittees scope be expanded andclarified, to cover preparation of standards forenergy conversion equipment utilizing gas fuelto provide: 1) conditioned air, liquid orrefrigerant to spaces or equipment; 2

45、) on-siteelectrical power generation; 3) mechanicalpower; and 4) any combination of the above.Equipment may include, but is not limited to,heat pumps, fuel cells, gas engines, humidifiers,dehumidifiers and cogenerators.The subcommittee agreed the preparation ofstandards coverage under its scope coul

46、dinclude drafting new standards, as well asupgrading existing air conditioning standards.The subcommittee established the Fuel GasHeat Pump Working Group to review thecurrent air conditioning standards and draftnew standards coverage for productapplication outlined under the revised scope.In that th

47、ere are no Department of Energy(DOE) ratings for gas-fired heat pumps and airconditioners, it was agreed a new standardshould be developed to provide gas-fired heatpump/air conditioner manufacturers with themethod of testing, efficiency rating, and cost ofoperation procedures and calculations whicha

48、re currently available to electric heatpump/air conditioning manufacturers. Theproposed standard was to be based on similarsteady-state and seasonal efficiencycalculations governed by the DOE.A Z21/CGA Joint Subcommittee onStandards for Gas Air Conditioning Applianceswas established, based on member

49、ships of theZ21 Subcommittee on Standards for Gas AirConditioning Appliances and the CGA 2.9Committee on Standards for Gas AirConditioning Appliances. Membershipencompasses representatives from the U.S. andCanadian manufacturing industry, gassuppliers, regulatory authorities and generalinterest with the intent that each country isequally represented.Based on the efforts of the Fuel Gas HeatPump Working Group, a proposed Z21.40.4standard was adopted for distribution forreview and comment by the supervisingtechnical joint subcommittee at its February1992 meeting. The proposed standard wasdi
