ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15

ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15 establishes safety guidelines for designing and operating refrigeration systems that use pressurized gases. It ensures these systems are safe by setting limits on pressure, detecting leaks, and requiring proper controls and safety devices. The standard helps prevent accidents such as explosions or gas leaks in commercial and industrial refrigeration, including cooling systems in food storage or air conditioning. Overall, it promotes the safe handling of refrigerants, protecting people, property, and the environment while maintaining efficient system operation.
