22、test donot fully represent the conditions that can exist in the liquidline of a refrigerant system. The specified test contaminant was chosen as the mostnearly representative controlled-particle-size test contami-nant commercially available. The wide range of controlledparticle sizes used provides a
23、 satisfactory degree of repeat-ability of test results. However, it is recognized that seldom, ifever, will the composition, particle size, and mix of the testcontaminant be duplicated in an actual system. Therefore, thefiltration capability of a filter determined by this test does notnecessarily pr
24、edict its exact capability in actual service in arefrigerant liquid line.This test, however, serves as a useful means of comparingfilter capabilities and implementing quality control to main-tain uniformity of products.Changes in the 2017 edition of the standard includeimprovements to the clarity of
25、 the test procedure and associ-ated calculations and the addition of test fluid options.1. PURPOSEThe purpose of this standard is to prescribe a laboratory testmethod for evaluating the filtration capability of filters andfilter driers used in liquid lines of refrigeration systems.2. SCOPE2.1 This l
26、aboratory test method evaluates the capability ofliquid-line filters and filter driers only for removing andretaining solid particles of a standard test contaminant.2.2 The test method may be applied to all hermetic refriger-ant liquid-line filters and filter driers. 2.3 The technique employed in th
27、is standard is the one-passtest method. In this test, a clean-up filter is installed down-stream of the test sample and is designed to retain and preventrecirculation of the majority of the contaminant particles thatare not collected by the test sample in the first pass.2.4 Filter driers have the ad
28、ded capability of removing andretaining certain dissolved contaminants. This standard doesnot provide measurement of this capability.3. DEFINITIONSclean-up filter loading (Mcf): mass in grams of test contami-nant that is retained on the clean-up filter. contaminant capacity (Mc): mass in grams of te
29、st contami-nant that is retained by the filter under test. contaminant loading (Mt): total mass in grams of test con-taminant that is added to the test apparatus.contaminant loading end point (Me): total mass in grams oftest contaminant added that achieved the target end-pointpressure dropend-point
30、pressure drop: the filter pressure drop across thefilter under test at the concluding point of the testing.filter efficiency (Ef): contaminant capacity divided by con-taminant loading, expressed as a percent.filter pressure drop (P): the difference in pressure betweenthe filter inlet and filter outl
31、et, including fittings, expressed inkilopascals.filter under test: liquid-line filter or liquid-line filter drier thatis under evaluation.liquid-line filter: a device for removing and retaining solidcontaminants from the liquid line of a refrigeration system.liquid-line filter drier: a filter contai
32、ning a desiccant capableof removing moisture and other dissolved contaminants in therefrigerant stream.test flow rate: the flow of clean test fluid, expressed in kilo-grams per second, that is specified for the filter under test.4. MATERIALS AND APPARATUS4.1 Test Contaminant4.1.1 Composition. The te
33、st contaminant will be a blend of50% coarse test dust as received and 50% retained in a 200-mesh screen. Prepare this blend from Society of AutomotiveEngineers (SAE) coarse test dust, described in ISO 5011. 4.1.2 Preparation of Test Contaminant. To prepare theblend of contaminant, first wet-screen a
34、 quantity of coarsetest dust on a U.S. (ASTM) or Tyler 200-mesh screen withparticle retention equal to 74 m (0.0029 in.). This is done byplacing a portion of the coarse test dust on a 200-mesh screenand running water through the screen while stirring the coarsetest dust with the fingers. Discard the
35、 fine particles passingthrough the screen.The +200-mesh particles collected on the screen areremoved and dried for one hour at 110C (230F). The testcontaminant is prepared by mixing 50% by mass of the coarsetest dust as received (after drying for one hour at 110C) with50% by mass of the +200-mesh-sc
36、reened dust.4.1.2.1 Particle Size Analysis. The coarse test dust asreceived and the blend used as the test contaminant have theparticle sizes listed in Table 1.4.2 Test Fluid. Permissible test fluids are shown in Table 2.Take appropriate steps to minimize evaporation or loss of testfluid during the
37、test procedure. 4.3 Clean-Up Filter. The clean-up filter shall be a filtermembrane of 0.8 m (3.15 105in.) pore size. The filter isused to determine the amount of contaminant that passedthrough the filter under test. ASHRAE (www.ashrae.org). For personal use only. Additional reproduction, distributio

A weighing method with less than or equal to0.1% resolution of the masses being weighed shall be usedduring the test procedure.4.5 Test Loop Speci
39、fication (see Figure 1)4.5.1 Pump. The pump shall be capable of producing asteady-state, nonpulsating flow able to maintain the standardflow rate through the filter being tested at pressure drops up to69 kPa (10 lbf/in.2).4.5.2 Heat Exchanger. A heat exchanger shall be provided(if necessary) to main
40、tain the test fluid at 30C 6C (86F 11F).4.5.3 Three-Way Flow Regulating Bypass Valve. A flowregulating bypass valve shall be provided in the test apparatusin order to vary and control the flow rate through the filterunder test. The three-way regulating bypass valve allows con-stant fluid flow to the
41、 filter under test with varying pressuredrop. This is accomplished by regulating the amount of fluidbeing directed back to the reservoir without passing throughthe filter under test. Controlling the flowrate by regulating thepump speed is an alternate method to bypass regulation.4.5.4 Reservoir. The
42、 reservoir shall be sized to maintain asuitable liquid level at the pump while the test apparatus isoperating.

The volume will be suc
45、h thatthe flow rate of the test fluid returning to the reservoir willcreate enough turbulence to prevent settling of the test con-taminant. The reservoir shall be designed to prevent the testcontaminant from settling out of the test fluid.4.5.5 Flowmeter. Methods of flow measurement aredescribed in
46、ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 41.7-2015, Method ofTest for Measurement of Flow of Gas. The meter shall be ofsuch construction, and installed in such a way, that undue tur-bulence or disturbances of the steady-state flow in the testapparatus are not created. The meter shall be calibrated sothat any error in i
47、ndicated flow is less than 5% of the nominalflow rate.4.5.6 Contaminant Loading Device. A contaminant load-ing device shall be installed with bypass valves upstream ofthe filter under test to permit the introduction of the test con-taminant into the test apparatus while in operation.4.5.7 Vent Valve
48、. A vent valve (solenoid valve optional)shall be located at the top of the test loop immediately aheadof the filter under test to permit the test fluid to drain freelyfrom the filter under test and the clean-up filter. Take appro-priate steps to recover the test fluid discharged from the ventvalve.4
49、.5.8 Sight Glasses. Sight glasses shall be installed in thetest apparatus allowing visual verification of single-phase liq-uid flow at the inlet and outlet of the filter under test.4.5.9 Differential Pressure Measuring Device. Amanometer or other pressure measuring device with a maxi-mum error of 0.3 kPa (0.04 lbf/in.2) shall be used to measurethe pressure drop across the filter under test. If a U-tubemanometer is used, the reading shall be corrected for theeffect of the test fluid column on top of the measuring fluid.The pressure taps shall b
