Gospodinjski in podobni električni aparati - Varnost - 2-40. del: Posebne zahteve za električne toplotne črpalke, klimatske naprave in razvlažilnike zraka (IEC 60335-2-40:2002/A1:2005, spremenjen)

Ta standard obravnava varnost električnih toplotnih črpalk, vključno s toplotnimi črpalkami za gospodinjsko vročo vodo, klimatskimi napravami in sušilniki zraka z zaprtimi gnanimi kompresorji. Najvišja nazivna napetost ne sme presegati 250 V za enofazne naprave in 600 V za vse druge naprave. Navedene naprave so lahko sestavljene iz enega sestava ali več. Če zajemajo več kot en sestav, se morajo sestavi uporabljati skupaj, zahteve pa temeljijo na uporabi združenih sestavov. Dodaten grelnik ali ukrepi za njihovo ločeno namestitev spadajo v področje uporabe tega standarda, vendar to velja le za grelnike, ki so zasnovani kot del naprave, pri čemer so kontrole vgrajene v napravo.

min
A = room area in m
LFL = Lower Flammability Limit (LFL) in kg/m , as referred in Annex BB
NOTE  The appliance can be placed at any height above the floor.
When the appliance is switched on, a fan shall operate continuously supplying a minimum airflow as
under normal steady state conditions, even when the compressor is switched off by the thermostat.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
GG.Z1.2 The appliance shall withstand the effects of dropping and vibration during transport and normal
use without leaking refrigerant.
The appliance is subjected to the tests of GG.Z1.2.1 to GG.Z1.2.4. There shall be no refrigerant leakage.
Compliance is checked by the following:
– the power input of the appliance measured after at least 1 h shall not differ by more than 10 % from
the value measured under the same conditions before the tests;
or
– the use of detection equipment having an equivalent sensitivity of 3 g/year of refrigerant shall reveal
no leaks.
NOTE 1 The tests of GG.Z1.2.1, GG.Z1.2.2 and GG.Z1.2.3 may be carried out on the appliance charged with a non-flammable
refrigerant or a non-hazardous gas.
NOTE 2 Damage of parts other than the refrigerating circuit is allowed.
GG.Z1.2.1 The appliance is tested in its final packaging for transport and shall withstand a random
vibration test for 180 min according to ASTM D 4728-01 with the following power spectral densities:

- 5 - EN 60335-2-40:2003/A1:2006
Frequency Power spectral density level
Hz g /Hz
1 0,00 005

40 0,001
80 0,001
200 0,00 001
Overall, g rms 0,52
GG.Z1.2.2 The appliance is tested in its final packaging for transport and shall withstand the following
number of drops on a horizontal hardwood board 20 mm thick placed on a concrete or similar hard
surface:
- one with the appliance held upright;
- one for each of the four edges of the bottom side, with the bottom side forming an angle of about 30°
to the horizontal.
The drop height depends on the weight of the appliance according to the following table:
Appliance weight Drop height
kg cm
< 10 80
≥ 10 and < 20 60
≥ 20 and < 30 50
≥ 30 and < 40 40
≥ 40 and < 50 30
≥ 50 20
GG.Z1.2.3 The tests of GG.Z1.2.2 are repeated on the appliance without its packaging and with the drop
height according to the following table:
Appliance weight Drop height
kg cm
< 10 20
≥ 10 and < 20 17
≥ 20 and < 30 15
≥ 30 and < 40 12
≥ 40 10
GG.Z1.2.4 The appliance is installed in accordance with the installation instructions. It is supplied at rated
voltage or at the upper limit of the rated voltage range and operated at ambient temperature.
The appliance is operated in cycles for 10 days (240 h), each cycle consisting of the compressor running
for 10 min followed by a rest period of 5 min.
This test may be made on a separate sample.

GG.Z1.3 The appliance shall be constructed so that its operation does not cause resonance points in the
piping connected to the compressor.
Compliance is checked by the following test:
The appliance is installed in accordance with the installation instructions. It is supplied at rated voltage or
at the upper limit of the rated voltage range and operated at ambient temperature.
The supply frequency is increased in steps of 1 Hz between 0,8 times and 1,2 times the rated frequency.
The vibration amplitude is measured at critical points in the piping. There shall be no sudden increase of
the amplitude when increasing the supply frequency within the specified range.
NOTE 1 The vibration amplitude can be measured, for example, by sliding an arrow gauge along the piping. The arrow gauge is an
isosceles triangle with a height equal to 10 times the base (see Figure GG.Z1) and is held against the piping with the arrow axis
perpendicular to the direction of the vibration to be measured. The amplitude is the value of A (see Figure GG.Z2) divided by 10.

Figure GG.Z1 – Isosceles triangle arrow test gauge

Figure GG.Z2 – Measurement of vibration amplitude
NOTE 2 Critical points are those with a bigger vibration amplitude.
This test may be made on a separate sample.
