4、cision issued September 13, 2013DECISION:12.1 Refrigerant-containing parts: high side12.1.2 Except as specified in 12.1.4, aA component or section of a component exposed to high sidepressure shall: withstand without failure a pressure equal to the higher of five times the:a) Refrigerant minimum high

5、 side design pressure specified in 11.2(b) or (c);b) Design pressure marked on the component;c) Start-to-discharge pressure of the relief device, if the component is intended to be protectedby a pressure relief device; ord) Nominal rated rupture pressure (see 3.4.16.1) of a rupture member.a) Withsta

6、nd without failure a pressure equal to five times the higher of the pressures specifiedin 12.1.2.1; or,b) Comply with the Fatigue Test in Clause 14; or,c) Withstand without failure a pressure equal to three times the higher of the pressuresspecified in 12.1.2.1, if the component additionally complie

7、s with 12.1.4.12.1.2.1 In reference to 12.1.2(a) and (c), the test pressures shall be based on the higher of the following:a) Refrigerant minimum high side design pressure specified in 11.2(b) or (c);b) Design pressure marked on the component;c) Start-to-discharge pressure of the relief device, if t

9、, a component shall be subjected to the Fatigue Test,Clause 14.A refrigerant containing component complying with 12.1.2(c), shall be intended for use in arefrigeration system in which the critical pressure of the refrigerant is designed to be exceeded. Inaddition, the component shall be provided wit

10、h either:a) A pressure relief valve complying with Clause 9; orb) The marking specified in 22.10.1.12.1.5 In addition to complying with 12.1.2 or 12.1.4, a component which is provided with a fusible plugshall withstand without failure a pressure equal to the smaller of 2-1/2 times the:a) Vapor press

11、ure of the refrigerant at the relief temperature of the fusible plug, orb) Critical pressure of the refrigerant used.12.1.6 In reference to 12.1.2(b) 12.1.4, unless the Fatigue Test in Section 14 is used for determiningcompliance, refrigerant-containing components intended to utilize carbon dioxide

12、(R744) in a secondaryloop or a cascade system shall have an ultimate strength of not less than five times the start-to-dischargevalue of the pressure relief valve and not less than 2500 psig (17238 kPa).MARKING22 General22.10.1 The marking referenced in 12.1.4(b) shall be legibly and permanently mar

13、ked on the refrigerantcontaining component with the following or equivalent: “CAUTION Risk of High Pressure. Thiscomponent shall be installed along with a pressure relief valve set to discharge at no higher than a. Thiscomponent is intended for systems in which the critical pressure of the refrigera

14、nt will be exceeded. Therelief valve shall comply with the requirements of ASME Section VIII, be marked “UV” and sized based onthe refrigeration system capacity.”22.10.2 In reference to 22.10.1, the symbol “a” denotes the design pressure of the refrigerant containingcomponent in both English units (

15、e.g., psig) and SI units (e.g., MPa).RATIONALE FOR DECISION:Manufacturers are looking to create higher efficiency and environmentally friendly (Green) refrigerationproducts. One option is for such products to employ a refrigerant such as carbon dioxide (R-744) that maybe in a state that exceeds the

16、critical pressure of the refrigerant (i.e, transcritical).These requirements are intended to harmonize with similar requirements that were recently publishedwithin the Standard for Commercial Refrigerators and Freezers, UL 471. In brief, refrigerant containingcomponents used within refrigeration sys

17、tems in which the critical pressure of the refrigerant will beexceeded will now only need to be subjected to three times the applicable pressure rather than thepresent five times pressure (or three times pressure together with and as part of the fatigue cycling test).However, for such components, th

18、ese requirements would drive the need for either a pressure relief valveor a caution marking to be located on the component.Paragraph 12.1.2 is being revised and Paragraph 12.1.2.1 is being added to better organize therequirements applicable to high side refrigerant containing components with the ad

19、dition of these newrequirements.STANDARD NUMBER: UL 207 -2-UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ULParagraph 12.1.4 is being revised to require a refrigerant containing component complying with Paragraph12.1.2(c) to be provided with ei

20、ther a pressure relief valve or a caution marking. The caution marking isintended to cause the installer to be aware of the need to provide a pressure relief valve as part of theend-use product refrigeration system. The reference to the Fatigue Test which was previously inParagraph 12.1.4 and is bei

21、ng removed is now included into Paragraph 12.1.2(b).Paragraphs 12.1.5 and 12.1.6 are being revised for consistency with the revisions made to Paragraphs12.1.2 and 12.1.4.Paragraphs 22.10.1 and 22.10.2 are being added to require the caution marking as referenced by therequirement in Paragraph 12.1.4(
