5、eating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Consensus is defined by the American National StandardsInstitute (ANSI), of which ASHRAE is a member and which has approved this standard as an ANS, as “substantial agreement reachedby directly and materially affected interest categories
6、. This signifies the concurrence of more than a simple majority, but not necessarilyunanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that an effort be made toward their resolution.”Compliance with this standard is voluntary until and unless a legal jurisdiction makes co
7、mpliance mandatory through legislation.ASHRAE obtains consensus through participation of its national and international members, associated societies, and publicreview.ASHRAE Standards are prepared by a Project Committee appointed specifically for the purpose of writing the Standard. TheProject Comm
8、ittee Chair and Vice-Chair must be members of ASHRAE; while other committee members may or may not be ASHRAEmembers, all must be technically qualified in the subject area of the Standard. Every effort is made to balance the concerned interestson all Project Committees. The Manager of Standards of AS

22、t ASHRAE or ANSI.)FOREWORDThis revision of Standard 72 combines Standard 72-1998for open refrigerators and Standard 117-2002 for closedrefrigerators. These standards were developed so that com-parative evaluations can be made of refrigeration equipmentperformance using standardized criteria.In this
23、revision, door opening requirements, shelf loading,and test definitions are also clarified, and requirements havebeen added to improve the consistency of ambient tempera-tures. Standard 72, which is classified as an ASHRAE Stan-dard Method of Test, was first published in 1986.1. PURPOSEThe purpose o
24、f this standard is to prescribe a uniformmethod of testing open and closed commercial refrigeratorsand freezers for rating so that comparative evaluations can bemade of energy consumption, product temperature perfor-mance, refrigeration load, the suction pressures required, andother performance fact
25、ors.2. SCOPEThis standard applies to the following types of open andclosed commercial refrigerators and freezers used for display-ing or holding foods for which refrigeration is either requiredor desired: both horizontal and vertical open and closed refrigera-tors and freezers andboth remote and sel
26、f-contained open and closed refrig-erators and freezers.This standard does not apply to walk-in coolers or refrigera-tors and freezers where the refrigerated air is in communica-tion with walk-in coolers.3. DEFINITIONSThe following definitions apply to terms as they are usedin this standard.AHAM vol

Any of this volume occupied by evap-orator coils, fan grilles, ducts (including any space intention-ally made unusable by fences and grilles), or any othersignificant interior protrusions are excluded
36、 from the netusable volume. For cases normally equipped with shelves, the-,-,-2 ANSI/ASHRAE STANDARD 72-2005Copyright ASHRAE Provided by IHS under license with ASHRAE Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHSfront edge of the shelf is assumed to be the front load

The volumeoccupied by shelves and other display devices is not subtractedfrom the net usable volume.open refrigerator: a display or holding refrigerator whereproduct is accessible
38、for removal without opening or movingdoors or panels.refrigerant: fluid used for heat transfer in a refrigeratingsystem that absorbs heat at a low temperature and low pressureof the fluid and transfers heat at a higher temperature and ahigher pressure of the fluid, usually involving a change of stat
