2. G.15 Pressurized liquid filled components

3. Outline of changes New definitions, Self contained vs Modular
Removal of 1L .
G.15.1 => would act as the general sub-clause that applies to all equipment with liquid cooling. Directs self contained equipment to testing criteria in 15.2 or modular equipment to Offers evaluations to as acceptable.
G.15.2 => will guide to requirements for self-contained. Editorial change in the title => Currently in 3rd edition- Not under the scope of this adhoc.
G Adding a subsection so there is a compliance criteria for each section.
G.15.3=> New proposal that will apply to modular.
G Hydrostatic pressure test: Hydrostatic Pressure Limits to 1.5x or 345 kPa (50 psig) whichever is greater for use on modular LFC equipment
Notice: No vibration test criteria for high end, see rationale proposal
G Creep Resistance Test, G Tubing and fittings compatibility test, G Thermal cycling test, G Force test: the test requirements are the same, BUT we have added editorial changes that will allow for testing to be accepted if the testing is performed at component level vs final integration. Our intent is to be able to ask manufacturers to certify to g.15. When integrators pick up certified components, then testing would not be required at the end product.
G Compliance criteria for 15.3

6. (Editorial changes to include the testing below Annex V10, Nov 2007

7. Evolution Change in Hydrostatic pressure from 5x/3x to 3x/2x
Modification suggested April 20, 2004 by Roose, 108HBSDT San Jose.
Rationale
Get standard IEC more aligned with standard IEC ed.3 and the European pressure directive.
According to IEC ed. 3: The test pressure is the maximum pressure multiplied by a factor of 1,5 for testing against leakage and by factor 2,0 for testing against burst. The maximum pressure value is taking into account any single fault condition.
According to the European pressure directive: For pressure vessels, the hydrostatic test pressure must be no less than corresponding to the maximum loading to which the pressure equipment may be subject in service taking into account its maximum allowable pressure and its maximum allowable temperature, multiplied by the coefficient 1,25, or the maximum allowable pressure multiplied by the coefficient 1,43, whichever is the greater.
