ASHRAE Standard 158.1-2024 — Methods of Testing Capacity of Refrigerant Solenoid Valves (ANSI Approved)
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
ASHRAE | 2024 |
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 158.1 provides a standard method of test for the capacity of refrigerant solenoid valves. ANSI/AHRI Standard 760 (I-P), Performance Rating of Solenoid Valves for Use With Volatile Refrigerants, and ANSI/AHRI Standard 761 (SI), Performance Rating of Solenoid Valves for Use With Volatile Refrigerants, require this standard be used as a method of test for capacity. It is further anticipated that AHRI will continue to maintain Standard 760/761 as it relates to standard methods of rating refrigerant service solenoid valves. AHRI Standard 760/761 may also include information concerning other solenoid valve performance characteristics. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15, Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems, and ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34, Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants, list the various refrigerants to which this standard is applicable. The 2024 edition of Standard 158.1 includes updated references.

Instruments shall have the accuracies listed in this standard and shall be certified standard instruments. 4.2 Temperature Measuring Instruments 4.3 Pressure Measuring Instruments 4.4 Fluid Flow Measuring Instruments 7 4.5 Electrical Measuring Instruments 4.6 Electric Power Source 5. General Piping Specifications 5.1 Main Size. The pipe or tubing used for the inlet and outlet connecting mains to the solenoid valve being tested shall be the size and type accommodated by the solenoid valve body connections. The main shall be free from scale, rust, and other obs… |
6 | 5.2 Main Length. The inlet and outlet mains connected to the solenoid valve being tested shall be straight for a minimum of 14 internal diameters from the face of the solenoid valve inlet and outlet connections. 5.3 Pressure-Tap Holes. Pressure-tap holes must be located at the appropriate points on the circumference of the main with respect to the adjacent surroundings. With horizontal mains, pressure-tap hole position depends largely on the fluid flowing. W… 5.4 Fluid Temperature Measurement Locations. Measurement of the temperature of the fluid entering the solenoid valve shall be made at a point located not more than 12 internal main diameters upstream from the face of the inlet connection of the solen… 6.
