ASHRAE Technical Committee 8.1 - Positive Displacement Compressors


Standard Program Committee 186


 

1.   Title: Methods of Test for Rating Positive Displacement Refrigerant Compressors that
Operate at Supercritical Temperatures of the Refrigerants

 

2.   PURPOSE: The purpose of this standard is to provide methods of test for rating
 positive displacement compressors that operate on supercritical refrigerants.

 

3.   SCOPE:

3.1       This standard applies to the method of test for rating positive displacement
refrigerant compressors that operate at supercritical temperatures of the refrigerant.

3.2       This standard applies to all refrigerants listed in the ASHRAE
Handbook - Fundamentals and in the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34
constrained by the limits defined in 3.1..
