3.4 “Mechanically refrigerated and heated equipment

Test method

• 3.4.2 In the first stage, the test shall be carried out in the conditions described in paragraphs 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 of this appendix; in the second stage, it shall be carried out in the conditions described in paragraphs 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 of this appendix.

Test procedure

• 3.4.3 The basic requirements for the test procedure for the first stage are described in paragraphs 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 of this appendix; those for the second stage are described in paragraphs 3.3.3 and 3.3.4 of this appendix.

• 3.4.4 The second stage of the test may be initiated immediately after the end of the first stage, without the measuring equipment being dismantled.

• 3.4.5 In each stage, the test shall be continued for 12 hours after:

  • (a) in the first stage, the mean inside temperature of the body has reached the lower limit prescribed for the class to which the equipment is presumed to belong;

  • (b) in the second stage, the difference between the mean inside temperature of the body and the mean outside temperature of the body has reached the level corresponding to the conditions prescribed for the class to which the equipment is presumed to belong. In the case of new equipment, the above temperature difference shall be increased by 35 per cent.

Criterion of satisfaction

• 3.4.6 The results of the test shall be deemed satisfactory if:

  • (a) in the first stage, the refrigerating or refrigerating-heating appliance is able to maintain the prescribed temperature conditions during the said 12-hour period, with any automatic defrosting of the refrigerating or refrigerating-heating unit not being taken into account;

  • (b) in the second stage, the heating appliance is able to maintain the prescribed temperature difference during the said 12-hour period.

• 3.4.7 If the refrigerating unit of the refrigerating or refrigerating-heating appliance with all its accessories has undergone separately, to the satisfaction of the competent authority, a test to determine its effective refrigerating capacity at the prescribed reference temperatures, the transport equipment may be accepted as having passed the first stage of the test without undergoing an efficiency test if the effective refrigerating capacity of the appliance in continuous operation exceeds the heat loss through the walls for the class under consideration, multiplied by the factor 1.75.

• 3.4.8 If the mechanically refrigerating unit of the refrigerating or refrigerating-heating appliance is replaced by a unit of a different type, the competent authority may:

  • (a) require the equipment to undergo the determinations and verifications for the first stage of testing prescribed in paragraphs 3.4.1–3.4.5 of this appendix; or

  • (b) satisfy itself that the effective refrigerating capacity of the new mechanically refrigerating unit is, at the temperature prescribed for equipment of the class concerned, at least equal to that of the unit replaced; or

  • (c) satisfy itself that the effective refrigerating capacity of the new mechanically refrigerating unit meets the requirements of paragraph 3.4.7 of this appendix.”

Amend to read as follows:

“To verify as prescribed in appendix 1, paragraphs 1 (b) and (c), to this annex the effectiveness of the thermal appliance of each item of refrigerated, mechanically refrigerated, heated or mechanically refrigerated and heated equipment in service, the competent authorities may:

Apply the methods described in sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 of this appendix; or

Appoint experts to apply the particulars described in sections 5.1 and 5.2 of this appendix, when applicable, as well as the following provisions.”

13. Annex 1, appendix 2, subsection 6

  The inside temperature of the empty equipment shall have been previously brought to the outside temperature.

• (ii) In the second stage, it shall be verified that the difference between the inside temperature of the equipment and the outside temperature which governs the class to which the equipment belongs as prescribed in this annex (a difference of 22 K in the case of classes A, E and I, of 32 K in the case of classes B, F and J, of 42 K in the case of classes C, G and K, and of 52 K in the case of classes D, H, and L), can be achieved and maintained for not less than 12 hours.

  If the results are acceptable, the equipment may be kept in service as mechanically refrigerated and heated equipment of its initial class for a further period of not more than three years. ”
