It is merelyinformative and does not contain requirements necessaryfor conformance to the guideline.)FOREWORDGuideline 6 was first publish
18、ed in 1996 for the purpose ofinforming refrigerant suppliers of the type and format ofrefrigerant information that the industry would be looking forin order to evaluate new refrigerants and blends intended toreplace ozone-depleting chlorinated fluorocarbon refrigerantsthat were being regulated start
19、ing in 1996. Guideline 6 was revised in 2008 to reflect a change offocus away from commercialization of new refrigerants andtoward the application of refrigerants, whether new or old. Therevised purpose and scope further deemphasized newly com-mercialized refrigerants in favor of all refrigerant dat
20、a thatmay be needed for the design of HVAC catalytic and other actions of the heated surface; sur-face combustion; initial pressure; and the concentration of thevapor-air mixture1.azeotropic refrigerant: a blend of two or more refrigerantswhose equilibrium vapor and liquid phase compositions arethe
21、same at a given pressure. At this pressure, the slope of thetemperature versus composition curve equals zero, which isexpressed mathematically as (dT/dx)p= 0, which in turnimplies the occurrence of a maximum, minimum, or saddle-point temperature. Azeotropic blends exhibit some segrega-tion of compon
22、ents at other conditions. The extent of segrega-tion depends on the particular azeotrope and the application2.blend: a refrigerant consisting of a mixture of two or moredifferent chemical compounds. Often the compounds are usedindividually as refrigerants for other applications2.bubble-point tempera
23、ture: the liquid saturation temperatureof a refrigerant at the specified pressure; the temperature atwhich a liquid refrigerant first begins to boil. The bubblepoint of a zeotropic refrigerant blend, at constant pressure, islower than the dew point. burning velocity (Su): the maximum velocity in cen
24、timetresper second (inches per second) at which a laminar flamepropagates in a normal direction relative to the unburned gasahead of it2.ASHRAE Guideline 6-2015 3compounds: substances formed by the chemical combinationof two or more elements in definite proportions by mass2. critical point: the loca
25、tion on a plot of thermodynamic prop-erties at which the liquid and vapor states of a substance meetand become indistinguishable. The temperature, density, andcomposition of the substance are the same for the liquid andvapor phases at this point. The density, pressure, specific vol-ume, and temperat
26、ure at the critical point are referred to as thecritical density, critical pressure, critical volume, and criticaltemperature, respectively2.dew-point temperature: the vapor saturation temperature of arefrigerant at the specified pressure; the temperature at whichthe last drop of liquid refrigerant
27、boils. The dew point of azeotropic refrigerant blend, at constant pressure, is higherthan the bubble point2.dielectric strength: maximum electric field that an insulatorcan withstand without breakdown. flame propagation: any combustion that moves upward andoutward from the point of ignition as defin
28、ed in ASHRAEStandard 34, Normative Appendix B, Section B1.82. glide: the absolute value of the difference between the start-ing and ending temperatures of a phase-change process by arefrigerant within a component of a refrigerating system,exclusive of any subcooling or superheating. This term usu-al
29、ly describes condensation or evaporation of a zeotrope2.global warming potential (GWP): an index developed to pro-vide a simplified means of describing the relative ability of achemical compound, if emitted to the atmosphere, to affectradiative forcing over its lifetime in the atmosphere andthereby
30、affect the global climate. Radiative forcing reflectsthe factors that affect the balance between the energyabsorbed by the earth and the energy emitted by it in the formof long-wave infrared radiation. The GWP is defined on amass basis relative to carbon dioxide. The GWP for a com-pound must be calc
31、ulated up to a particular integrated timehorizon, for example, 20, 100, or 500 years. The time horizonmost widely accepted is 100 years. ozone depletion potential (ODP): a numerical quantitydescribing the extent of ozone depletion calculated to arisefrom the release to the atmosphere of 1 kilogram o
32、f a com-pound relative to the ozone depletion calculated to arise froma similar release of the refrigerant R-11. The calculation is anintegration of all known potential effects on ozone over theentire time that any portion of the compound could remain inthe atmosphere3.pressure volume temperature (P
33、VT): the relationshipbetween pressure, specific volume, and temperature; this rela-tionship is a fundamental thermodynamic property of a fluidin the single-phase region. radiative forcing: represents the net amount of infrared radia-tion that is trapped by gases in the atmosphere. The radiativeforci
34、ng of a gas depends on the efficiency with which it trapsinfrared radiation and its concentration in the atmosphere.Atmospheric concentration depends on emission rates and theatmospheric lifetime of the gas. refrigerant: the fluid used for heat transfer in a refrigeratingsystem; the refrigerant abso
35、rbs heat and transfers it at a highertemperature and a higher pressure, usually with a phasechange. Substances added to provide other functions, such aslubrication, leak detection, absorption, or drying, are notrefrigerants2.temperature glide: see glide.threshold limit values (TLVs): the maximum air
36、borne con-centrations of substances to which it is believed nearly allworkers may be repeatedly exposed, day after day, withoutadverse health effects.threshold limit value/time-weighted average (TLV/TWA):the time-weighted average concentration for a normal 8-hourworkday and a 40-hour workweek to whi
37、ch nearly all workersmay be repeatedly exposed, day after day, without adverseeffect2. (This definition is reprinted by permission of theAmerican Conference of Governmental Industrial HygienistsACGIH.)toxicity: the ability of a refrigerant to be harmful or lethal dueto acute or chronic exposure by c
38、ontact, inhalation, or inges-tion. The effects of concern include, but are not limited to,those of carcinogens, poisons, reproductive toxins, irritants,corrosives, sensitizers, hepatoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins,agents that act on the hematopoietic system, and agents thatdamage the lungs, skin, e
39、yes, or mucous membranes2.worst case of formulation for flammability (WCF): the nom-inal formulation, including the composition tolerances, thatresults in the most flammable concentration of components.worst case of fractionation for flammability (WCFF): thecomposition produced during fractionation
40、of the worst caseof formulation for flammability that results in the highestconcentration of flammable component(s) as identified inASHRAE Standard 342in the vapor or liquid phase.zeotropic refrigerant: a zeotropic refrigerant contains two ormore components whose equilibrium vapor-phase and liquid-p
41、hase compositions differ. The temperature of a zeotropicrefrigerant changes as it evaporates or condenses at constantpressure.4. BASIC CHEMICAL DATAThe number of significant figures for all properties shouldcorrespond to the uncertainty of the data4.4.1 Compound Chemical Identification. All refriger
42、antsshould be identified by their designations as determined fromASHRAE Standard 342 and also their Chemical Abstracts Ser-vice (CAS) registry number.4.2 Molecular Formula. For a single refrigerant, the molecu-lar formula should be identified using symbols for the chemicalelements and (subscripted)
43、whole numbers representing themole ratios of the elements composing the molecule. For exam-ple, the refrigerant R-22 should be identified as CHClF2.Where an element is identified by a single letter, it is capital-ized; otherwise, only the first letter of an element is capitalized.4.3 Purity. When re

Single refr
45、igerants should be identifiedwith their specific molecular masses expressed as g/mole (lb/lbmole). Molecular masses for blends should be determinedby the methodology described in ASHRAE Standard 342.4.5 Normal Boiling-Point Temperature (NBP). Single-compound refrigerants should be identified with th
