SAFETY CODE FOR MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This revised Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 5 August 1963, after the draft finalized by the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Sectional Committee had been approved by the Building Division Council.

0.2 The need for laying down safety requirements for mechanical refrigeration equipment has been well recognized with a view to safeguarding life and health of persons working in the plant rooms and also to protect the property. This standard consequently issued in 1955, covered the safety features of the design, construction, installation, operation and inspection of mechanical refrigeration systems including working conditions in the plant rooms which are considered reasonably necessary to safeguard life, health and property. After reviewing the standard in the light of the experience gained during its usage, this revision has been prepared incorporating the following important changes.

0.2.1 Recommendations have been added to give guidance on charging of the refrigerants. Modifications have been made to indicate the positions where the stop valves have to be provided on compressor, receiver and evaporator. References have been added to relevant Indian Standards which have been recently issued. The pressures at which pressure-relief devices should be set to blow off have been modified so as to relate them to the minimum field refrigerant leak test pressures. Incidentally, opportunity has been taken to specify ail the values in metric system.

0.3 The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has taken into consideration the views of producers, consumers and technologists and has related the standard to the manufacturing and trade practices followed in the country in this field. Due weightage has

3

ISr660-1963

also been given to the need for international co-ordination among stand- ards prevailing in different countries of the world.

0.4 Wherever a reference to any Indian Standard appears in this code, it shall be,taken as a reference to its latest version.

0.5 Metric system has been adopted in India and all quantities and dimensions in this standard have been given in this system.

0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express- ing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960 Rules for Round,ing Off Numerical Values ( Revised ). The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

0.7 This standard is intended chiefly to cover the technical provisions relating to the safety features of the installations, operation and mainten- ance of mechanical refrigeration systems, and it does not cover all the necessary provisions of a contract.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This code covers safety features in the design, construction, installa- tion, operation and inspection of mechanical refrigeration systems of vapour compression type, including working conditions in the plant room, which are considered reasonably necessary to safeguard life, health and property.

2. TERMINOLOGY

2.0 For the purpose of this code, the following definitions shall apply.

2.1 Compressor - The equipment in which refrigerant in a refrigerating machine is compressed to increase its pressure before liquefaction.

2.2 Condenser - A part of the refrigerating system where high pressure refrigerant gas is condensed to high pressure liquid.

2.3 Condensing Unit - A combination of equipment consisting mainly of compressors, condensers and liquid receivers ( when required ) for converting low pressure gas to high pressure liquid.

4

IS:660-1963

2.4 Evaporator - A part of the refrigerating system where liquid rcfri- gerant is evaporated to produce cooling.

2.5 Expansion Value - A valve which makes the liquid refrigerant to’ expand from a high pressure to a low pressure and controls the flow of the refiigerant.

2.6 Fusible Plug - A plug made of special fusible alloy which fuses at a predeiermined temperature and relieves pressure in the refrigerating system.

2.7 High Pressure Switch - An automatic protective device against excessive pressure on the high side. It automatically stops a compressor or a condensing unit when the pressure on the high side exceeds a predetermined limit.

2.8 Low Pressure Switch - An automatic protective device against excessively low pressure on the low side. It automatically stops a com- pressor or a condensing unit when the pressure on the low side falls below a predetermined limit.

2.9 Plant Room - Room in which a refrtgerating plant, other than domestic refrigerating appliances such as refrlgeratars, portable air condi- tioners, etc ( which are installed inside the living room ) is installed and operated.

2.10 Pressure Relief Device -A pressure actuated valve or device which automatically relieves the pressure in excess of its setting.

2.11 Pressure Vessel-It is a receiver containing refrigerants under pressure.

2.12 Receiver -A vessel forming a part of refrigerating system acting as a receptacle for liquid refrigerant.

2.13 Refrigerant - A chemical agent used to produce cooling by expansion from high pressure liquid to low pressure gas in a refrigerating system.

2.14 Refrigerant Container - A vessel for storage of liquid refrigerant.

2.15 Refrigerating System - An equipment consisting of condensing unit and evaporator in which refrigerant is circulated to extract and transfer heat.
