32、n accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, to alternating-current (ac) circuits rated not greater than 600 volts. 1.2 This standard also covers component refrigeration systems (self-contained mechanical refrigeration systems), not already covered by a UL standard, that heat, cool or de
33、humidify as integral (not stand-alone) components of appliances. 1.3 Refrigerating units covered by these requirements employ sealed, hermetic-type motor compressors, and air- or water-cooled condensers. 1.4 These requirements do not cover equipment intended for comfort cooling. 2 General 2.1 Units
34、of measurement 2.1.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 2.2 Terminology 2.2.1 The term “product” refers to any equipment covered by this standard unless specically noted otherwise. 2.3 Undated references 2.3.1 Any
35、undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 3 Glossary 3.1 For the purpose of this Standard the following denitions apply. 3.2 ACCESSORY An optional electrical device or compo
36、nent intended for installation in or connection to a product for the purpose of modifying or supplementing the functions of the product. It is intended for installation by the user or serviceman. 3.3 CAPILLARY TUBE Device made of tubing with an outer diameter of less than 3/16 inch (4.7 mm) and used
37、 to reduce the pressure of the refrigerant between the condenser and evaporator. It also regulates the refrigerant ow. 3.4 CIRCUITS, ELECTRICAL: a) High-Voltage A circuit involving a potential of not more than 600 volts and having circuit characteristics in excess of those of a low-voltage circuit.

39、ttery, a standard Class 2 transformer, or a combination of a transformer and xed impedance which, as a unit, complies with all performance requirements for a Class 2 transformer. 3.5 COMPONENT A device or fabricated part of the appliance covered by the scope of a safety standard dedicated to the pur
40、pose. When incorporated in an appliance, equipment otherwise typically eld installed (e.g. luminaire) is considered to be a component. Unless otherwise specied, materials that compose a device or fabricated part, such as thermoplastic or copper, are not considered components. 3.6 CONTROL, DEFROST CY
41、CLE A control that is intended to regulate a defrost cycle. 3.7 CONTROL, OPERATING A control intended to start, regulate, or operate the appliance during normal operation. An example would be a thermostat or temperature controller. 3.8 CONTROL, PROTECTIVE (SAFETY) A control intended to prevent the r
42、isk of electric shock, re, or injury to persons, typically during abnormal operation of the appliance. An example would be a pressure limiting control. 3.9 CONTROL, TEMPERATURE LIMITING A control that serves to prevent excessive temperature. 3.10 DESIGN PRESSURE The maximum allowable working pressur
43、e for which the refrigerating unit is designed. 3.11 PRESSURE VESSELS Any refrigerant-containing receptacle of a refrigerating system, other than evaporators (each separate section of which does not exceed 1/2 cubic foot (0.01 m 3 )o f refrigerant-containing volume), evaporator coils, compressors, c
44、ondenser coils, controls, headers and piping. 3.12 REFRIGERATING UNIT A complete refrigeration system consisting of a hermetic-motor compressor, condenser, evaporator, refrigerant control, electrical controls, wiring, and associated refrigerant containing components including tubing; and may include
45、 a defrost system. These systems are primarily used to refrigerate cooling rooms and warehouses intended for the storage of food and other perishable products. 3.13 REFRIGERATION SYSTEM, COMPONENT A self-contained mechanical refrigeration system performing a heating, cooling or dehumidication functi
46、on only as a component system of an appliance. It collectively consists of a hermetic-motor compressor, condenser, evaporator, refrigerant control, and associated refrigeration containing tubing and components. A defrost system may also be included. The evaluation of a component refrigeration system
47、 can only be determined in combination with the end product application. The reverse cycle heating function of a heat pump dryer is an example of a component refrigeration system. 3.14 ULTIMATE STRENGTH The highest stress level which a refrigerant-containing component can tolerate without rupture.
