This comprises one rotation for stability and three rotations for the test period. 5. Manufacturers of All Other Basic Models With Similar Design Characteristics To GEA’s knowledge, there are no products of this type in the marketplace. 6. Notice to Other Manufacturers Pursuant to 10 CFR 430.27(c)(2), upon publication of this Petition for Waiver, GEA will notify in writing all known manufacturers of domestically marketed basic models of the same product class (as specified in 10 CFR 430.32) and of other product classes known to the petitioner to use the technology or have the characteristic at issue in the waiver. The notice will include a statement that DOE has published the Petition for Waiver in the Federal Register and the date the Petition for Waiver was published. The notice will also include a statement that DOE will receive and consider timely written comments on the petition for waiver. Within five working days of publication of this Petition for Waiver, GEA will file with DOE a statement certifying the names and addresses of each person to whom a notice of the petition for waiver was sent. 7. Conclusion GEA respectfully requests that DOE grant this Petition for Waiver from the current test procedure for the specified basic models. Very truly yours, /s/ John T. Schlafer Attachments: Exhibit A—Alternate Test Procedure Exhibit A—Alternate Test Procedure for In-Home Grower Energy Consumption is Determined by the Formula: E = EP * 1440/T lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Where: • E is the test cycle energy (kWh/day) • 1440 = number of minutes in a day • EP is the energy expended during three full rotations of the growing chambers (kWh) • T is the length of time for EP (minutes) Water in Tanks: Fill the nutrient and supply tanks with water (72.0 ± 5.0 °F) prior to start of the stabilization period. Stabilization: The test shall start after a minimum 8-hour stabilization run for each temperature control setting. This constitutes one rotation of the growing chambers. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Nov 15, 2021 Jkt 256001 Ambient Temperature: Measure and record the ambient temperature at points located 3 feet (91.5 cm) above the floor and 10 inches (25.4 cm) from the center of the two sides of the unit under test. The ambient temperature shall be 72.0 ± 1 °F (21.1 ± 0.6 °C) during the stabilization period and the test period. Compartment Temperature Measurements: No compartment temperature measurements are taken during the stabilization and test period. Test Procedure: Run the test using the SmartHQ App 1. Download the SmartHQ app on a connected device 2. Select ‘‘Connect Appliance’’ and then ‘‘In Home Grower’’ 3. Follow the procedures per the SmartHQ app to set up the appliance. 4. Fill the nutrient and supply tanks with 72.0 ± 5.0 °F water. 5. Select ‘‘Let’s Start Planting’’ from the main screen. 6. Select Garden 1 from the ‘‘Select Garden’’ screen a. Select the ‘‘Default’’ growing region. b. Select ‘‘Next’’ at the bottom of the screen 7. At the screen titled ‘‘What do you want to plant in Garden x?’’, select ‘‘Choose Later’’ 8. Repeat this process for Garden 2 and Garden 3. 9. Select ‘‘Start the Growing Cycle’’ 10. The first rotation (8 hours) is the stabilization period. 11. The next three rotations (24 hours) is the period where EP and T data are taken.
