Specifications for dedicated liquefied petroleum gas appliances - Absorption refrigerators
Abstract
This document specifies the requirements for the constructional features, safety and operation, test techniques and marking of absorption refrigerators using liquefied petroleum gas (referred to the body text as “appliances”). This document is applicable to room sealed (Type C11) and flueless (Type A1) refrigerators, as defined in EN 1749:2020, using gas equipment fuelled by third family gases (LPG) as classified in 4.2. This document is applicable for: - mobile refrigerating appliances; - refrigerating appliances installed in vehicles, caravan, leisure accommodation vehicles for habitation purposes, boats; - refrigerating appliances for household and similar use. NOTE Boats considered in this document are recreational craft covered by European Directive 2013/53/EU. The gas consumption of absorption refrigerators is of the same order of magnitude as pilots currently used on other types of burners, maximum being 60 g/h. Consequently, efficiency measurement is not considered relevant for these appliances and is not covered by this document. Energy consumption and efficiency are not covered by this document. This document does not cover the requirements for LPG cylinder/cartridge and their associated regulators.
