The reproducibility of tests for the safety of hydrocarbon refrigerants in domestic refrigerators.

Author(s) : GIGIEL A.

Summary

The European Standard concerned with the safety of domestic refrigerators is EN 60335-2-24:2001 "Safety of household and similar appliances. Part 2-24: Particular requirements for refrigerators, food freezers and icemakers". A domestic refrigerator with a flammable refrigerant (R600a) was tested according to the methods specified in the standard. Some of the test specifications were reproducible but some were ambiguous and gave different results depending on the methodology used. This paper describes the reasons for the test specifications in the standard concerned with the use of flammable refrigerants (insofar as they are clear) and the tests that could give different results depending on how the test methods were interpreted.
