6、as “substantial agreement reached by directly and materially affected interest categories. This signifies the concurrenceof more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that aneffort be made toward their resolution.”
7、Compliance with this standard is voluntary until and unless a legal jurisdiction makes compliancemandatory through legislation.ASHRAE obtains consensus through participation of its national and international members, associated societies, and public review.ASHRAE Standards are prepared by a Project

22、 ASHRAE or ANSI.)FOREWORDASHRAE Standard 72, first published in 1986, is classi-fied as an ASHRAE Standard Method of Test.The 2005 revision combined Standard 72-1998 for openrefrigerators and Standard 117-2002 for closed refrigerators.These two standards were developed so that comparativeevaluations
23、 could be made of refrigeration equipment perfor-mance using standardized criteria.This 2014 revision of ASHRAE Standard 72-2005 addsenergy management devices and drawer openings for refrig-erator and freezer units with drawers. It also clarifies doorand drawer opening methods, test probe locations
24、for unitsover 1220 mm (4 ft) in width, electrical loads that need to beon during the test, air current measurements within the testroom, and the measurement of internal volumes in Informa-tive Appendix A.In addition, the 2014 revision clarifies door openingrequirements, shelf loading, and test defin
25、itions and addsrequirements to improve the consistency of ambient tempera-tures.1. PURPOSEThe purpose of this standard is to prescribe a uniform methodof testing open and closed refrigerators and freezers for ratingso that comparative evaluations can be made of energy con-sumption, product temperatu
26、re performance, refrigerationload, the suction pressures required, and other performancefactors.2. SCOPEThis standard applies to the following types of open andclosed commercial refrigerators and freezers used for display-ing or holding products for which refrigeration is eitherrequired or desired:a
27、. Horizontal, semivertical, and vertical open and closedrefrigerators and freezersb. Both remote and self-contained open and closed refrigera-tors and freezersThis standard does not apply to walk-in coolers or refrig-erators and freezers where the refrigerated air is in communi-cation with walk-in c
28、oolers.3. DEFINITIONSThe following definitions apply to terms as they are used inthis standard.AHAM volume: the interior volume of a refrigerator as calcu-lated by ANSI/AHAM Standard HRF-1.1closed refrigerator: a display or holding refrigerator whereproduct is accessible for removal by opening or mo

Any of this volume occupied by evaporatorcoils, fan grilles, ducts (including any space intentionallyANSI/ASHRAE Standard 72-2014 3made unusable by fences a
38、nd grilles), or any other significantinterior protrusions are excluded from the net usable volume.For cases normally equipped with shelves, the front edge ofthe shelf is assumed to be the front load limit boundary. To beconsistent, shelves and other display devices are not treated assignificant inte
39、rior protrusions. The volume occupied byshelves and other display devices is not subtracted from thenet usable volume.night curtains: an attached device that covers the opening ofa unit that does not have doors or supplements the doors as amethod of energy reduction.open refrigerator: a display or h
40、olding refrigerator whereproduct is accessible for removal without opening or movingdoors or panels.product zone: the usable volume, both display and storage,contained within the load-line volume of the refrigerator.refrigerant: fluid used for heat transfer in a refrigerating sys-tem that absorbs he
41、at 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 ofstate of the fluid.refrigerator: for this standard, this term refers to both low-temperature and medium-temperature refrigerators.remote ref
42、rigerator: a refrigerator that has a condensing unitnot mounted in or on the refrigerator cabinet.running cycle: the period of time between the start of refrig-eration after a defrost termination and the beginning of thenext successive defrost.secondary coolant: liquid used for the transmission of h
43、eatwithout a change of state, having no flash point or having aflash point above 66C (150.8F).self-contained refrigerator: a refrigerator that has the con-densing unit mounted in or on the refrigerator cabinet asopposed to a refrigerator operating on a remote condensingunit.stabilization period: a p
