ASHRAE Standard 1 5 gives a method for determining the amount of refrigerant in a given space that, when exceeded, requires a machinery room . When a refrigerant is not classified in ASHRAE Standard 34 or its addenda , it is the responsibility of the owner of a refrigerating system to make this judgment.
Users of ASHRAE Standard 15 may also find it useful to refer to the Standard 1 5-2001 User’s Manual. The user’s manual was developed as a companion document to ASHRAE Standard 15. Though it does not reflect the addenda and changes incorporated into Standard 15 since its original publication , it still serves to clarify the intent of the standard and provides an explanation of the rationale behind its creation . Its purpose is to assist in use of the standard by including illustrations and examples of accepted industry practice, as well as explanations of and supporting references for formulas in the standard.
