Description / Abstract:
Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes
applicable laws and regulations.
Note: In the event of conflict between the
English and domestic language, the English language shall take
precedence.
Material Description. This standard describes
the requirements of dehydrated, Zeolite or crystalline sodium or
potassium-sodium alumino-silicate molecular sieves desiccants in
bead form, suitable for use in Hydrofluoroolefin (HFO-1234yf),
Haloalkane (HFC-134a) mobile air conditioning systems.
Symbols. Not applicable.
Typical Applications. Desiccants are used in
automotive air conditioning systems to keep the refrigerant,
lubricant, and components dry. Dryness is necessary to minimize
hydrate formation, corrosion, and chemical reactions that may
degrade system materials.
