Re: Pressure Test Procedure
It's impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious...
Don't ever underestimate the power of stupid people when they are in large groups.
Please, don't teach me how to be stupid....
No job is as important as to jeopardize the safety of you or those that you work with.

Re: Pressure Test Procedure
.
You need to obtain and read the European refrigeration safety standard, EN 378, specifically part 2 that deals with the levels of pressure testing.
If your equipment falls within the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), this standard is the one that you HAVE to use.

Re: Pressure Test Procedure
Thanks for the help everyone. I would have tried to get the information from the college lecturer but he likes us to get on with things ourselves instead of asking him all the time!

Re: Pressure Test Procedure
Ross, In the land of OZ we have a set of standards which set out minimum design temperatures for testing refrigeration/airconditioning equipment. Basically with a design ambient of 32 degrees C , max test pressure for the high side with an air cooled condenser is the equivalent pressure for the refrigerant used at55 degrees C and for the high using a water cooled condenser the equivalent pressure for the refrigerant at 43 degrees C. Low pressure side test pressure equivalent to 32 degrees C of the refrigerant being used. Sawtell
