Refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Qualification of tightness of components and joints (ISO 14903:2017)

Refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Qualification of tightness of components and joints (ISO 14903:2017)

ISO 14903:2017 provides the qualification procedure for type approval of the tightness of hermetically sealed and closed components, joints and parts used in refrigerating systems and heat pumps as described in relevant parts of ISO 5149. The sealed and closed components, joints and parts concerned are, in particular, fittings, bursting discs, flanged or fitted assemblies. The tightness of flexible piping made from non-metallic materials is dealt with in ISO 13971. Metal flexible piping are covered by this document.
The requirements contained in this document are applicable to joints of maximum DN 50 and components of internal volume of maximum 5 l and maximum weight of 50 kg.
ISO 14903:2017 is intended to characterize their tightness stresses met during their operations, following the fitting procedure specified by the manufacturer, and to specify the minimal list of necessary information to be provided by the supplier of a component to the person in charge of carrying out this procedure.
It specifies the level of tightness of the component, as a whole, and its assembly as specified by its manufacturer.
It applies to the hermetically sealed and closed components, joints and parts used in the refrigerating installations, including those with seals, whatever their material and their design are.
ISO 14903:2017 specifies additional requirements for mechanical joints that can be recognized as hermetically sealed joints.

Systèmes de réfrigération et pompes à chaleur - Qualification de l'étanchéité des composants et des joints (ISO 14903:2017)

ISO 14903:2017 fournit les procédures de qualification pour essai de type de l'étanchéité des composants, joints et éléments hermétiquement scellés et fermés, utilisés dans les systèmes de réfrigération et les pompes à chaleur comme décrits dans les parties pertinentes de l'ISO 5149. Les composants, joints et éléments scellés ou fermés sont notamment les raccords, les disques de rupture ou d'éclatement, les assemblages à brides ou à raccords. L'étanchéité des flexibles en matériaux non métalliques est traitée dans l'ISO 13971. Les flexibles métalliques sont couverts par le présent document.
Les exigences du présent document s'appliquent aux joints de DN 50 maximum et aux composants de 5 l maximum et d'un poids maximal de 50 kg.
ISO 14903:2017 est destiné à caractériser leur étanchéité, les contraintes rencontrées pendant leur fonctionnement, en suivant la procédure de montage spécifiée par le fabricant et à spécifier la liste minimale des informations nécessaires à fournir par le fournisseur d'un composant à la personne chargée de mettre en ?uvre cette procédure.
Il spécifie le niveau d'étanchéité du composant, dans son ensemble, ainsi que son assemblage comme spécifié par son fabricant.
Il est applicable aux composants, joints et éléments hermétiquement scellés et fermés utilisés dans les installations frigorifiques, y compris ceux avec joints d'étanchéité, indépendamment de leur matière et de leur conception.
ISO 14903:2017 spécifie des exigences supplémentaires concernant les joints mécaniques susceptibles d'être considérés comme des joints hermétiquement scellés.

Hladilni sistemi in toplotne črpalke - Ocena tesnosti sestavnih delov in spojev (ISO 14903:2017)

Namen tega evropskega standarda je opisati postopek kvalifikacije za homologacijo tesnosti hermetično zatesnjenih in zaprtih sestavnih delov, spojev in delov, ki se uporabljajo v hladilnih sistemih in toplotnih črpalkah, kot je opisano v standardu EN 378. Zatesnjeni in zaprti sestavni deli, spojniki in zadevni deli so zlasti fitingi, razpočne plošče, prirobnice ali vgrajeni sklopi. Neprepustnost gibkih cevi iz nekovinskih materialov je obravnavana v standardu EN 1736. Ta metoda zajema kovinske gibljive cevi.
Zahteve, ki jih vsebuje ta dokument, se uporabljajo za spoje velikosti največ DN 50 in sestavne dele notranje prostornine največ 5 l in največjo težo 50 kg.
Namen tega dokumenta je opredeliti tesnilne napetosti spojev, ki so bile izpolnjene med njihovim delovanjem, po postopku namestitve, ki ga je določil proizvajalec, in določiti minimalni seznam potrebnih informacij, ki jih dobavitelj sestavnega dela zagotovi osebi, ki je odgovorna za izvajanje tega postopka.
Določa stopnjo tesnosti sestavnega dela kot celote in njegove montaže, kot jo je določil njegov proizvajalec.
Uporablja se za hermetično zatesnjene in zaprte sestavne dele, spoje in dele, ki se uporabljajo v hladilnih napravah, vključno z vsemi tesnili, ne glede na njihov material in njihovo obliko.
Ta evropski standard določa dodatne zahteve za mehanske spoje, ki jih je mogoče prepoznati kot hermetično zatesnjene spoje.

SIST EN 1736:2009

This document describes requirements, design and installation of flexible pipe elements (e. g. metallic flexible pipe, metallic flexible tube, vibration isolator, expansion joint) and non-metallic tube used in the refrigerant circuits of refrigerating systems and heat pumps.
It also describes the requirements to qualify the tightness of non-metallic tubes (e.g. plastic) used in evaporating and/or condensing sides of refrigerating systems and heat pumps.
It does not apply to flexible pipes that are only occasionally stressed beyond the elastic limit, e. g. during repair work, or to joints which are free to rotate or hinge.
