23、iform means for testingthe various materials used within hermetic and nonhermeticrefrigerant systems. It is primarily intended as an acceleratedscreening tool and can provide valuable information on thechemical stability of system materials.This is a reaffirmation of Standard 97-2007. This stan-dard

24、 was prepared under the auspices of ASHRAE. It may beused, in whole or in part, by an association or governmentagency with due credit to ASHRAE. Adherence is strictly on avoluntary basis and merely in the interests of obtaining uni-form guidelines throughout the industry. This version of thereaffirm

25、ation has no changes.1. PURPOSEThe purpose of this standard is to establish a test procedureutilizing sealed glass tubes for the evaluation of materials foruse in refrigerant systems.2. SCOPE2.1 This standard describes the preparation of sealed glasstubes and the procedure for charging them with ref

26、rigerant,lubricant, other materials to be tested, or combinations ofthese.2.2 A procedure for aging the tubes, usually at elevated tem-peratures, is described. The tubes are evaluated by quantita-tive or qualitative analysis, or both, of the tube contents toyield information for determining the comp

27、atibility or chemi-cal stability of materials in refrigerant systems.2.3 The technique described may be used for evaluatingmany different types of materials. Therefore, the standarddoes not describe in detail the preparation of the materials tobe tested prior to placing them in the glass tubes, the

28、condi-tions of exposure, nor the methods of analysis.2.4 Detailed safety precautions are included in Section 8,“Safety Requirements.”3. APPARATUS3.1 A sealed glass tube generally consists of a borosilicateglass tube 9 mm (0.35 in.) OD 7 mm (0.27 in.) ID approx-imately 180 mm (7.1 in.) long with one

29、end formed into around bottom. The above are the finished dimensions. Thetube is charged with the refrigerant and materials to be testedand then sealed in a rounded tip at the other end.3.2 The tube charging apparatus is illustrated in Figure 1.This apparatus consists of a manifold (metal or glass),

30、 vacuumpump, pressure gauge, high vacuum gauge, refrigerant cylin-der, valves, and filling ports. The function of this apparatus isto evacuate the tube, add refrigerant, and seal it along with thetest materials. It is calibrated so that the refrigerant may beadded very accurately by following the ch

31、ange in pressure onthe vacuum gauge as refrigerant is added to the tube.3.3 An aluminum block is used for aging the sealed glasstubes at elevated temperatures. The aluminum block hascylindrical holes in it to support the sealed glass tubes beingtested. The purpose of the aluminum block is to protect

32、 thetubes from each other in the event of breakage. A furtherfunction is to maintain temperature uniformity. A typical alu-minum block is illustrated in Figure 2. The holes in the blockshould be drilled completely through, and the block shouldhave a separate removable bottom to simplify cleaning. Av

33、ent may be included to release pressure should a tube burst.The overall dimensions shall be sized to accommodate thedesired number of sealed glass tubes while maintaining ade-quate wall thickness. A small wad of glass wool should beplaced in the bottom of the drilled hole to cushion and supportthe t

34、ubes during aging.3.4 Individual pipe chambers may be more convenient fortesting a small number of samples, instead of the aluminumblock described above. These individual chambers may beconstructed of metal pipe and closed at both ends withthreaded caps.3.5 The electrically heated aging oven shall h

35、ave mechanicalconvection capable of maintaining a uniform temperaturewith 1.0C (1.8F) throughout the test chamber. The ovenchamber shall be large enough to accommodate the aluminumblock and allow for adequate air circulation and venting. Theoven shall be equipped with an indicating controller with a

36、control sensitivity of 0.5C (0.9F).3.6 The tube opening apparatus is illustrated in Figure 3.This apparatus is suitable for safely and conveniently openinga sealed tube for subsequent analysis of the contents. Analternative apparatus is illustrated in Figure 4.3.7 Flexible tubing (PVC or rubber) is

37、often used in prepara-tion of sealed glass tubes. It is important to clean the tubingprior to use. It must be free of excess plasticizer, lubricants,powders, and other contaminants.Figure 1 Manifold for filling glass tubes. ASHRAE (www.ashrae.org). For personal use only.

PROCEDURE FOR PREPARING THESEALED GLASS TUBES4.1 Preparation of the Glass Tube4.1.1 The preparation of these tubes shall be performed bysome

39、one skilled in the art of glass blowing. A skilled glassblower will take into consideration such factors as a. proper storage of the glass tubing,b. proper cleanliness of the tubing,c. cutting to obtain square ends,d. the use of a small, sharply pointed oxygen-gas flame andproper glass blowers torch

40、,e. obtaining a uniform wall thickness throughout, andf. proper safety precautions (see Section 8).4.1.2 Typically the tubes are made from 9 mm (0.35 in.)OD standard wall borosilicate glass tubing. This tubing has anID approximately 7 mm (0.27 in.), and the tube should be cutinto 240 mm (9.45 in.) l

41、engths. One end is sealed to form arounded bottom. The other end is fire polished.4.1.3 The tubes must be scrupulously clean. The tubingshould be stored in a sealed container so that it does not col-lect any contaminants. After forming the rounded bottom, thetubes should be flushed with distilled or

42、 deionized water, fol-lowed by a rinse with acetone or other suitable solvent. Thetubes should be dried at 125C (257F) and cooled in a desic-cator. If desired, further cleaning can be accomplished byannealing the glass tube one hour at 580C (1076F). Afterdrying, the tubes should be stored in a desic

43、cator.4.1.4 Before use, inspect all tubes for cleanliness and forany cracks, severe scratches, or other faults in the glass. Dis-card any defective tubes.4.2 Preparation of Materials4.2.1 The refrigerant used should be of known purity, suit-able for the tests being performed. If refrigerant is being

44、 usedfrom a transfer cylinder, it shall be fitted with a pressure reliefdevice. The refrigerant cylinder should be fitted with anadjustable needle valve.4.2.2 A refrigeration lubricant to be used as a referenceshould be kept dry and away from light.

46、A 2017)4.2.3 One or more metal coupons are generally added tothe tube to act as a catalyst. The metals should be chosen torepresent those used in actual refrigerant systems. The surfacefinish of the metal should be specified and reported withresults. Metal specimens should be cut into the desired si

47、ze,degreased, and stored in a noncorroding environment. A typi-cal metal sample is 3 mm (1/8 in.) wide 50 mm (2 in.) long 0.15 mm (0.006 in.) thick with uniform surface finish. 4.2.3.1 Steel strip made of highly polished flapper-valvestock1is often used as a convenient and reproducible catalyticiron

48、 surface. 4.2.3.2 Copper, such as CDA110 or CDA120, may beused to represent the copper used in hermetic motors orrefrigerant tubing. 4.2.3.3 Aluminum, such as AA1100 or AA1200, is oftenincluded to represent the aluminum tubing used in refrigerantsystems. Also AA380 or AA390 may be included if alumi-

49、num castings are used in the systems. 4.2.3.4 The catalytic action of metals depends both on thechemical nature of the surface and on the area of the surfaceexposed to the reactants. The surface area of the metal in con-tact with the lubricant and refrigerant will vary greatly withthe surface finish. For example, a surface that has been etchedor abraded to remove stains or other foreign matter may havea much greater effect on the reaction than a surface that ismore highly polished.4.2.3.5 Before cutting and degreasing, inspect the metaland make cer
