Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 168 / Thursday, August 28, 2008 / Notices
(3) Rules for Generalizing the Specific
Test Procedure Modifications
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Cascade shall test its CES products
according to the following rules:
Rule One: These rules apply to testing
of residential CES systems ranging from
two-ton/single-speed/two-blower
models up to and including dual-2.5-ton
heat pump/eight-zone models. It also
applies to all CES model configurations
in between for cooling and heating with
single-phase units that are less than
65,000 btu/hr.
Rule Two: A 400 cubic feet/minute
(cfm) per ton nominal evaporator air
flow rate will be used, not to exceed 450
cfm per ton on the high end (same as
37.5 cfm per 1000 BTU/hr capacity).
Rule Three: The CES configurations
should be tested so that regardless of the
number of blowers and heat pumps, the
resultant test procedure will model the
CES system as a one-blower evaporator
with a two-speed fan and one heat
pump with one or more speeds. The test
procedure will follow the procedure
found in 10 CFR part 430, Subpart B,
Appendix M. For example, two heat
pumps are to be modeled as a single
heat pump with two speeds. Also, dual
two-speed heat pumps are to be
modeled as a single heat pump with
four speeds. Further, given that the
number of indoor blowers may range
from two to eight per unit, these will be
modeled as a single blower with two
speeds such that half the fans will be
used to blow air at low speed; when
operated at high speed, all fans will
operate such that the air flow delivered
per fan equals in total the air flow
needed for the total heat pump capacity
(i.e., 800 cfm for a two-ton heat pump).
Rule Four: For an even number of
blowers, the air flow per blower is the
same, and the sum of the air flow per
blower equals the total air flow. For odd
number of blowers, see Rule Five.
Rule Five: If the number of fans is an
odd number, divide the number of fans
by two. Round the quotient up to a
whole number, and define this whole
number as the quantity of ‘‘low-speed
fans.’’ In the case of three blowers, lowspeed mode will have two blowers and
the remaining blower will be used only
in high-speed mode. These are
electrically commutated motors 4
(ECMs), so adjust the speed of the fans
that are part of ‘‘low-speed’’ mode so
that each blower produces an equal
share of the low-speed air quantity.
4 An ‘‘electronically commutated motor’’ is a
high-efficiency, programmable, brushless, directcurrent (DC) motor utilizing a permanent magnet
motor and a built-in inverter. DC motors are
significantly more energy efficient than alternating
current (AC) motors and much easier to control.

Jkt 214001
Likewise, the third blower, which
operates during high-speed mode, blows
an air flow equal to half of the total air
flow for the tonnage of the heat
pump(s). This is accomplished by
adjustment of the ECM for the single
fan, which runs in high-speed mode to
produce half the total air flow needed
for the total tonnage.
Rule Six: Once the CES system is
modeled as required under Rules One
through Five, perform Tests A, B, C and
D (or if the default is accepted, then Test
D is not required) as found in the
procedure of 10 CFR 430, Subpart B,
Appendix M for cooling and heating for
the variations in speeds and settings
found therein.
(4) Test Procedure Set-Up Requirements
When testing its CES products,
Cascade shall adhere to the following
test procedure set-up requirements:
(a) Piping: Determine the number of
heat pumps. Connect the heat pump to
the evaporator coil circuit, whether
single- or dual-circuit. Thus, if there are
two heat pumps, there is a heat pump
piped into one of the circuits of the
evaporator coil, while the second heat
pump is piped into the second circuit of
the evaporator coil.
(b) Unit sizing: If two heat pumps are
used, they shall be equal in tonnage.
Thus, a four-ton Cascade unit will have
dual two-ton heat pumps attached.
(c) Fans’ cfm sizing: As set forth in
Rules Two through Five, blowers shall
be driven by ECM motors, and the cfm
for each blower shall be as calculated
under Rules Four and Five.
(d) Ducting the blowers: The discharge
of each blower will be connected so that
the total cfm from all blowers is
collected into a single duct, sized
consistent with appropriate industry
pressure-drop standards and ducted to
the wind tunnel.
(e) Pressures, delta Ps, temperatures,
and other metric points: These values
are measured by installing devices
appropriately calibrated to National
Institute of Standards and Technologytraceable standards for refrigerant and
condensate pipes, circuits and air flows
in the evaporator coil, and condenser
coils to measure quantities to be used
for the calculation of capacities in
heating and cooling modes in tests A, B,
C, and D.
(C) Representations. In making
representations about the energy
efficiency of its CES multi-blower
products, for compliance, marketing, or
other purposes, Cascade must fairly
disclose the results of testing under the
DOE test procedure, as modified by the
alternate test procedure in this waiver.

Frm 00043

Sfmt 4703
(4) This waiver shall remain in effect
from the date of issuance of this
Decision and Order until the effective
date of a DOE final rule prescribing
amended test procedures appropriate to
the above model series manufactured by
Cascade.
(5) This waiver is conditioned upon
the presumed validity of statements,
representations, and documentary
materials provided by the petitioner.
This waiver may be revoked or modified
at any time upon a determination that
the factual basis underlying the Petition
for Waiver is incorrect, or DOE
determines that the results from the
alternate test procedure are
unrepresentative of the basic model’s
true energy consumption characteristics.
