Refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Flexible pipe elements, vibration isolators, expansion joints and non-metallic tubes - Requirements, design and installation

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.

Kälteanlagen und Wärmepumpen - Flexible Rohrleitungsteile, Schwingungsabsorber, Kompensatoren und Nichtmetall-Schläuche - Anforderungen, Konstruktion und Einbau

Dieses Dokument gilt für flexible Rohrleitungsteile (z. B. biegsames Metall-Rohr, Metall-Schlauch,
Schwingungsabsorber, Kompensator) und für Nichtmetall-Schläuche in Kältemittelkreisläufen von Kälteanlagen
und Wärmepumpen.
Es legt auch Anforderungen zur Bestimmung der Dichtigkeit von Nichtmetall-Schläuchen (z. B. Kunststoff)
fest, die in Verdunstungs- und/oder kondensierenden Seiten von Kälteanlagen und Wärmepumpen angewendet
werden.
Es gilt nicht für biegsame Rohre, die nur gelegentlich über ihre Elastizitätsgrenze hinaus beansprucht werden,
z. B. bei Reparaturen, oder für drehbar gelagerte Verbindungen oder Rohrgelenke.

Systèmes de réfrigération et pompes à chaleur - Eléments flexibles de tuyauterie, isolateurs de vibration, joints de dilatation et tubes non métalliques - Exigences, conception et installation

Le présent document décrit les exigences, la conception et l’installation des éléments flexibles de tuyauterie,
(par exemple, tuyauterie flexible métallique, tuyaux flexibles métalliques, isolateurs de vibration, joints de
dilatation) ainsi que les tubes non métalliques utilisés dans les circuits de fluides frigorigènes des systèmes de
réfrigération et pompes à chaleur.
Elle décrit également les exigences pour qualifier l’étanchéité des tubes non métalliques (par exemple en
plastique) utilisés côté condenseurs et/ou évaporateurs des systèmes de réfrigération et pompes à chaleur.
Elle ne s’applique pas aux tuyauteries flexibles qui ne subissent qu’occasionnellement des contraintes au-delà
de la limite d’élasticité, comme par exemple lors de travaux de réparation, ou aux joints qui tournent ou
pivotent librement.

EN 1736:2008 (E) 4 Introduction The use of flexible pipe elements is required where impermissible stresses are to be eliminated from refrigerating circuits and pipe expansion or relative movements of components are to be absorbed. The use of flexible pipe elements should not be specified unless it is necessary in the design of refrigerant circuits. If necessary, they should be designed and installed in accordance with this standard. Flexible pipe elements are often the weakest part of a refrigerating system and the part most likely to suffer from fatigue or stress corrosion cracking. SIST EN 1736:2009



EN 1736:2008 (E) 5 1 Scope 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. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 378-1:2008, Refrigerating systems and heat pumps — Safety and environmental requirements — Part 1: Basic requirements, definitions, classification and selection criteria EN 378-2:2008, Refrigerating systems and heat pumps — Safety and environmental requirements — Part 2: Design, construction, testing, marking and documentation EN ISO 175, Plastics - Methods of test for the determination of the effects of immersion in liquid chemicals (ISO 175:1999) ISO 6605:2002, Hydraulic fluid power — Hoses and hose assemblies — Test methods 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 378-1:2008 and the following apply. 3.1 flexible pipe element any form of pipe or tube connecting two points which may move relative to each other NOTE 1 This generic term includes all types, as defined in 3.2 to 3.6. NOTE 2 Flexible pipe elements may include a plastic barrier in the construction, either as a liner on the inner surface or as a sandwich in the pipe wall. The main purpose of such a barrier is to reduce the permeation of refrigerant gas. 3.2 metallic flexible pipe
readily flexible, small bore pipe, e. g. capillary tube which is capable of movement within its elastic limit during operation of the refrigerating system (see Figure 1) NOTE This type of pipe is flexible by virtue of the shape into which the tube is bent, e. g. coiled capillary tube. 3.3 metallic flexible tube tubular flexible element designed to bend within defined limits and containing a corrugated metal bellows, the corrugations of which may be annular or spiral (see Figure 1) SIST EN 1736:2009



EN 1736:2008 (E) 6 NOTE 1 Metallic flexible tubes may be reinforced by metallic braiding which may be covered by rubber or plastic but the whole element should be designed so that, when bent within pre-determined limits, it is not stressed beyond the elastic limit. NOTE 2 This type of pipe is flexible by virtue of its design and construction, e. g. bellows. 3.4 non-metallic flexible tube tubular flexible element designed to bend within defined limits (see Figure 1) NOTE 1 Non-metallic flexible tubes may have smooth bore or corrugated bore and they may be reinforced to withstand pressure, vacuum or external impact. NOTE 2 This type of pipe is flexible by virtue of its material, e. g. elastomer. NOTE 3 For non-metallic flexible tube are to be intended all the pipes made of plastic or rubber: mono-layer, multi-layer, reinforced and non-reinforced ones. SIST EN 1736:2009

EN 1736:2008 (E) 8 4.2 Significantly moved flexible pipe elements NOTE Such elements are subjected to regular movement through significant distance to allow the operation of refrigerating equipment such as plate freezers. 4.2.1 Significantly moved flexible pipe elements shall be supported and connected in such a way that they are not bent to radii less than those specified by the manufacturer. 4.2.2 Significantly moved flexible pipe elements shall not allow the generation of static electricity when non-conducting refrigerants pass through them at high velocity. NOTE This may be achieved by the use of antistatic plastic as lining. 4.2.3 Significantly moved flexible pipe elements shall be so installed that there is no danger of the outer covering being abraded on stationary objects during movement of the flexible pipe. 4.2.4 Significantly moved flexible pipe elements shall be so constructed and connected that they are not liable to damage by the freezing of water or by corrosion by humidity at the surface or at joints. 4.2.5 The manufacturer of significantly moved non-metallic flexible tubes shall specify the permeability of the pipe element to water vapour and to the refrigerants for which it is suitable (see Clauses 7 and 8). 4.3 Intermittently moved flexible pipe elements NOTE Such elements move intermittently to take up relative movement between components of the refrigerating system. 4.3.1 Intermittently moved flexible pipe elements shall be supported and connected in such a way that they are not bent to radii less than those specified by the manufacturer. 4.3.2 Intermittently moved flexible pipe elements sh
