It is merelyinformative and does not contain requirements necessaryfor conformance to the standard. It
20、 has not beenprocessed according to the ANSI requirements for astandard and may contain material that has not beensubject to public review or a consensus process.Unresolved objectors on informative material are notoffered the right to appeal at ASHRAE or ANSI.)FOREWORDThis standard was written at th
21、e request of the Air-Con-ditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) toprovide a standard method of test for the capacity of refrig-erant solenoid valves. The intent is to provide a standard thatmeets American National Standards Institute (ANSI) require-ments.ANSI/AHRI Standard 760, Perfo
22、rmance Rating of Sole-noid Valves for Use With Volatile Refrigerants,1requires thisstandard be used as a method of test for capacity. It is furtheranticipated that AHRI will continue to maintain Standard760 as it relates to standard methods of rating refrigerantservice solenoid valves. AHRI Standard
23、 760 may alsoinclude information concerning other solenoid valve perfor-mance characteristics.The basis for the method of testing and the calculationof capacity for flow through solenoid valves is a researchproject (PRF 5233) performed at Ray W. Herrick Laborato-ries, Purdue University, West Lafayet
24、te, Indiana, and spon-sored by AHRI. This research followed a study performed atHerrick Laboratories, under AHRI auspices, by R.T. McKen-zie, J.B. Chaddock, and W.E. Fontaine between September1963 and September 1966.This standard provides a means of accurately measuringthe refrigerant mass flow capa
25、city of solenoid valves. Theflow capacity may be expressed in terms of refrigeratingeffect with various refrigerants by performing simple ther-modynamic computations. Examples of the computationsnecessary to express valve capacity in kW (tons) or otherappropriate units are included in Informative An
26、nex B of thisstandard for the users convenience.ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15, Safety Standard for Refrig-eration Systems,2and ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34, Designa-tion and Safety Classification of Refrigerants,3list thevarious refrigerants to which this standard is applicable.1. PURPOSEThis standard prescrib
27、es a method of testing the capacityof refrigerant solenoid valves for use in refrigerating systems.2. SCOPE2.1 This standard is applicable to refrigerant solenoidvalves in the following circumstances:as defined in Section 3, Definitions;for either liquid or vapor refrigerant applications; andto be u
28、sed with refrigerants deemed available and suit-able according to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15, SafetyStandard for Refrigeration Systems,2and ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34, Designation and Safety Classifi-cation of Refrigerants.32.2 This standard specifies procedures, apparatus, andinstrumentation that will pr
29、oduce accurate capacity data.2.3 This standard does not do the following:specify rating conditions or electrical or mechanicaldesign requirements (rating conditions may be found inANSI/AHRI Standard 760, Performance Rating of Sole-noid Valves for Use with Volatile Refrigerants1);make recommendations
30、 for safety; orspecify tests for production, specification compliance,or field testing of solenoid valves.3. DEFINITIONScapacity: the mass flow rate of a selected refrigerant that willpass through the valve under test at specified conditions.certified standard instrument: aninstrumentthatiscalibrate
31、dby the manufacturer or other reliable agency and is certifiedtraceable to the National Institute for Standards and Technol-ogy (NIST).direct-operated solenoid valve: a valve in which the solenoidfunctionstodirectlyopenandclosethemainvalveport,whichis the only flow path in the valve.flowmeter: a dev
32、ice for determining the mass flow ratethrough the valve under test.pilot-operated solenoid valve: a valve in which the solenoidfunctions to directly open and close a relatively small (pilot)flow port. Flow through the pilot port parallels the flow pathof the main port. Starting or stopping flow thro
33、ugh the pilotport creates a pressure imbalance on the main valve member,thereby causing the main valve port to be opened or closed.refrigerant solenoid valve: a two-way (i.e., one inlet and oneoutlet), two-position (i.e., open or closed) valve that is actu-ated by a solenoid and is suitable for use
34、with any of the refrig-erant fluids designated in Section 2.1(c). It may be pilot ordirect operated.“shall,” “should,” “recommended,” and “it is recom-mended” shall be interpreted as follows:shall and shall not are used to indicate that a provision ismandatory if compliance with the standard is clai
35、med.should, recommended, and it is recommended are usedto indicate provisions that are not mandatory but that aredesirable as good practice.4. INSTRUMENTATION4.1 General. Instruments shall have the accuracies listed inthis standard and shall be certified standard instruments.4.2 Temperature-Measurin
36、g Instruments4.2.1 Temperature shall be measured with any devicemeeting the requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 41.1,Standard Method of Temperature Measurement.4 ASHRAE (www.ashrae.org). For personal use only. Additional reproduction, distribution, or transmission in either print or digital form is
37、 not permitted without ASHRAEs prior written permission.ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 158.1-2012 34.2.2 The accuracy of temperature-measuring instrumentsshall be within 0.28C (0.5F).4.3 Pressure-Measuring Instruments4.3.1 Pressure shall be measured with any device meetingthe requirements of ASHRAE Standard 4
38、1.3, StandardMethod for Pressure Measurement.54.3.2 The accuracy of pressure-measuring instrumentsshall be within 1.0% of the pressure reading.4.4 Fluid Flow-Measuring Instruments64.4.1 The accuracy of flow-measuring instruments shallbe within 2.0% of the indicated value.4.4.2 In no case shall the s
39、mallest scale division of themeasuring instrument exceed 2 1/2 times the specifiedaccuracy.5. GENERAL PIPING SPECIFICATIONS5.1 Main Size.The pipe or tubing used for the inlet and out-let connecting mains to the solenoid valve being tested shallbe the size and type accommodated by the solenoid valveb
40、ody connections. The main shall be free from scale, rust, andother obstructions that may cause excessive turbulence.5.2 Main Length. The inlet and outlet mains connected tothe solenoid valve being tested shall be straight for a mini-mum of 14 internal diameters from the face of the solenoidvalve inl
41、et and outlet connections.5.3 Pressure-Tap Holes. Pressure-tap holes must belocated at the appropriate points on the circumference of themain with respect to the adjacent surroundings.With horizon-tal mains, pressure-tap hole position depends largely on thefluid flowing. With liquids, the pressure-t
42、ap holes shall belevel with or below the centerline of the main. Pressure-tapholes should not be positioned on the bottom of the main dueto possible blockage of the hole by foreign matter. The innersurfaces of the main adjoining holes shall be free of imperfec-tions, such as rivet heads, jogs, and o
43、ther sources of eddies, toensure parallel flow. All pressure-tap holes should be locatedat the same elevation and on the same side of the main. Theinternal diameter shall be straight and of uniform size for notless than two diameters from the main internal surface. Theinner rim of the hole shall be
44、flush with the inner surface ofthe main and be free of any burrs, excessive chamfers, andjagged edges.5.3.1 Pressure-tap hole diameters shall be approximately10% of the main internal diameter with the following excep-tions:a. Mains with an internal diameter of 12 mm (15/32 in.) orless shall have a p
45、ressure-tap hole diameter of 0.8 mm(1/32 in.).b. Mains with internal diameters of 50 mm (2.0 in.) orgreater shall have a pressure-tap hole diameter of5.0 mm (3/16 in.).5.3.2 Upstream Location. The upstream pressure-taphole shall be located in the main, two internal main diametersupstream from the fa
46、ce of the inlet connection of the solenoidvalve being tested.5.3.3 Downstream Location. The downstream pressure-tap hole shall be located in the main, ten internal main diam-eters downstream from the face of the outlet connection of thesolenoid valve under test.5.4 Fluid Temperature Measurement Loca
47、tions. Mea-surement of the temperature of the fluid entering the solenoidvalve shall be made at a point located not more than 12 inter-nal main diameters upstream from the face of the inlet con-nection of the solenoid valve under test. If an intrusivetemperature-measuring device is used, care should
48、 be taken toavoid disturbing flow patterns at the pressure-tap holes.6.
