Pressure equipment for refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Part 2: Piping - General requirements

1.1   This document specifies the requirements for material, design, manufacturing, testing and documentation for stationary piping intended for use in refrigerating systems, heat pumps and secondary cooling and heating systems. These refrigerating systems and heat pump systems are referenced in this document as refrigerating systems as defined in EN 378-1:2016.
The term "refrigerating system" used in this document includes heat pumps.
1.2   This document applies to piping, including welded or brazed attachments up to and including the flanges, screwed, welded or brazed connectors, or to the edge to be welded or brazed at the first circumferential joint connecting piping or other elements.
1.3   This document applies to the selection, application and installation of safety accessories intended to protect the piping during the various phases of the refrigeration cycle.
1.4   This document applies to the following piping:
-   heat exchanger consisting of piping for the purpose of cooling or heating air where piping aspects are predominant;
-   piping incorporated into an assembly (e.g. self-contained system, condensing unit);
-   field erected piping.
1.5   This document applies to piping with an internal pressure down to -1 bar, to account for the evacuation of the piping prior to charging with refrigerant.
1.6   This document applies to both the mechanical loading conditions and thermal conditions as defined in EN 13445 3:2014/A5:2018 associated with refrigerating systems. It applies to piping subject to the maximum allowable temperatures for which nominal design stresses for materials are derived using EN 14276-1:2020 or as specified in this document. In addition, piping designed to this document will have a maximum design temperature not exceeding 200 °C and a maximum design pressure not exceeding 160 bar. Outside of these limits, the EN 13480 series can be used for the design construction and inspection of the piping. Under these circumstances, the unique nature of a refrigerating plant, as indicated in the introduction of EN 14276-1:2020, will also be taken into account.
1.7   This document applies to piping where the main pressure bearing parts are manufactured from metallic ductile materials as defined in Clause 4 and in EN 14276-1:2020.

calculation temperature shall be determined as indicated below. Any heat transfer calculation
shall be performed on the assumption that there is no heat loss due to wind or other external
influence.
a) For externally uninsulated components, the calculation temperature shall be as follows:
1) For fluid temperatures below 40 °C, the calculation temperature for the component shall
be taken as the fluid temperature;
2) For fluid temperatures of 40 °C and above, unless a lower average wall temperature is
determined with test or heat transfer calculation, the calculation temperature for
uninsulated components shall be not less than the following values, but not less than
40°C:

iv) 80 % of the fluid temperature for bolting.
b) For externally insulated piping components, the component calculation temperature shall be
the fluid temperature TS unless calculations, tests, or service experience based on
max
measurements, support the use of another temperature. Where piping is heated or cooled
with tracing or jacketing, this effect shall be considered in establishing component calculation
temperatures;
c) Where the piping is heated or cooled with tracing or jacketing, the calculation temperature
shall be determined with test or taken to be equal to the temperature determined in a) or b)
+ 50 K.
The manufacturer when selecting the heater shall quantify the risk that exists of overheating for
the fluid or for the material and shall take appropriate measures to restrict this risk with for
example the inclusion of safety accessories and/or the inclusion of appropriate warning labels
and/or adding instructions to the documentation.
