ASHRAE Standard 15 establishes safeguards for life, limb, health, and property and prescribes safety requirements. This standard is directed toward the safety of persons and property on or near the premises where refrigeration facilities are located. It includes specifications for fabrication of tight systems but does not address the effects of refrigerant emissions on the environment. This standard applies to (a) the design, construction, test, installation, operation, and inspection of mechanical and absorption refrigeration systems, including heat pump systems used in stationary applications; (b) modifications including replacement of parts or components if they are not identical in function and capacity; and (c) substitutions of refrigerant having a different designation.
•Makes changes to requirements for R-717 ammonia systems
•Introduces requirements specific to Low Global Warming Potential (Low GWP) A2L refrigerants
•Changes restrictions for small, self-contained systems with higher-flammability refrigerants
•Defines “low-probability pumps” and provides requirements for their use
•Identifies requirements when changing a refrigerant within the same refrigerant class and lists restrictions on mixing refrigerants from different classes
