41、aration of Apparatus9.1 Install the oven according to the manufacturers instruc-tions in an appropriate space. All sides of the oven shall be aminimum of 6-in. from any side wall, side partition, or otheroperating appliance. The oven, moisture vent, and hood assem-bly, as furnished, shall be vented
42、to the exterior of the testingspace, using the manufacturers specified ventilation rate(s).The associated heating or cooling system for the space shall becapable of maintaining an ambient temperature of 75 6 5Fwithin the testing environment (outside the vertical area of therack oven) when the combin
43、ed oven exhaust ventilation systemis operating.9.2 Install a thermocouple at the vertical center of theovens pressure panel in the air outlet, with the sensing tip 1.06 0.25-in. away from the vertical plane of the panel to recordthe oven cavity temperature. Make certain that the thermo-couple sensin
44、g tip is not touching the pressure panel or any ofits components.9.3 Adjust the air baffles inside the oven cavity to themanufacturers recommended gap settings. Follow the manu-facturers recommendation for fine adjustments.9.4 Connect the rack oven to a calibrated energy test meter.For gas installat
45、ions, install a pressure regulator downstreamfrom the meter to maintain a constant pressure of gas for alltests. Install instrumentation to record both the pressure andtemperature of the gas supplied to the rack oven and thebarometric pressure during each test so that the measured gasflow can be cor
46、rected to standard conditions. For electricinstallations, a voltage regulator may be required during tests ifthe voltage supply is not within 62 .5 % of the manufacturersnameplate voltage.9.5 For a gas rack oven, adjust (during maximum energyinput) the gas supply pressure downstream from the appli-a
47、nces pressure regulator to within 62.5 % of the operatingmanifold pressure specified by the manufacturer. Make adjust-ments to the appliance following the manufacturers recom-mendations for optimizing combustion. Proper combustionshall be verified by measuring air-free CO in accordance withANSI Z83.
48、11.9.6 For an electric rack oven, confirm (while the elementsare energized) that the supply voltage is within 62.5 % of theoperating voltage specified by the manufacturer. Record thetest voltage for each test.NOTE 2It is the intent of the testing procedure herein to evaluate theperformance of a rack
49、 oven at its rated gas pressure or electric voltage. Ifan electric unit is rated dual voltage (this is, designed to operate at either240 or 480 V with no change in components), the voltage selected by themanufacturer and/or tester shall be reported. If a rack oven is designed tooperate at two voltages without a change in the resistance of the heatingelements, the performance of the unit (for example, preheat time) maydiffer at the two voltages.9.7 Install a flow meter to the rack oven water inlet such thattotal water flow t
