(NAECA 1988), Pub. L. 100-357, which 

requires DOE to prescribe standardized 

test procedures to measure the energy

of the test procedures is to provide a 

comparable measure of energy 

consumption that will assist consumers 

in making purchasing decisions. These 

test procedures appear at 10 CFR Part

particular basic model when a petitioner 

shows that the basic model contains one 

or more design characteristics which 

prevent testing according to the 

prescribed test procedures or when the 

prescribed test procedures may evaluate 

the basic model in a manner so 

unrepresentative of its true energy 

consumption as to provide materially 

inaccurate comparative data. Waivers 

generally remain in effect until final test 

procedure amendments become 

effective, resolving the problem that is 

the subject of a waiver.

Airlex Industries LTD., (Airlex) filed a 

“Petition for Waiver” dated August 24, 

1988, in accordance with § 430.27 of 10 

CFR Part 430. DOE published in the 

Federal Register Airlex's petition, and 

solicited comments, data and 

information respecting the petition. 53 

FR 39130, October 3,1988. Airlex filed 

an “Application for Interim Waiver” 

under § 430.27(g) which DOE granted on 

October 3,1988. 53 FR 39130.

No comments were received 

concerning either the “Petition for 

Waiver” or the “Interim Waiver.” DOE 

consulted with the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (NIST), 

formerly the National Bureau of 

Standards, and the Federal Trade 

Commission (FTC), concerning the 

Airlex petition. The NIST submitted to 

DOE an evaluation of the waiver test 

procedure in a letter report dated, 

November 21,1988. The FTC voiced no 

opposition to the issuance of the waiver 

to Airlex.

Assertions and Determinations

Airlexs petition seeks a waiver from 

the DOE test provisions that require a 

low temperature test at 17°F and a Frost 

Accumulation Test at 35°F. Instead, 

Airlex requests permission to perform 

the low temperature test at 47°F and 

omit the Frost Accumulation Test at 

35°F when testing its heat pumps model 

series ERA/S-RC/RH to determine 

HSPF. Airlex stated that the heating 

ability of its heat pumps is disengaged 

and replaced by electric resistance 

heating for temperatures below 40°F. 

Since DOE test procedures do not 

address this control feature, Airlex 

asked that a waiver be granted.

NIST, in its review of the Airlex 

petition, conclude that it was reasonable 

for Airlex to accurately determine 

capacity and power profiles for model 

series ERA/S-RC/RH down to 40°F. 

NIST expressed no concern that at 40°F 

frosting would occur.

DOE, in reviewing the comments by 

NIST, has determined that in order to 

provide a fair approach to Airlex and an 

equitable comparison with other models 

for consumers, the test procedure

proposed by Airlex is suitable provided 

the disengaging temperature is set at 

40°F with the low temperature test run 

at 47°F.

Since DOE did not receive any 

comments on the petition, the petition 

and NIST’s analysis of Airlex’s petition 

have provided the basis for DOE’s 

determination on the procedure 

requested by Airlex and its suitability as 

an alternative to the existing procedure.

Based on the information provided by 

the petitioner, the NIST analysis and the 

Department’s review, DOE is granting 

Airlex’s request for the use of an 

alternate test procedure to determine 

the HSPF for its model series ERA /SRC/RH central air conditioner, heat 

pumps with the modifications discussed 

above.

It is, therefore, ordered that:

(1) The “Petition for Waiver” filed by 

Airlex Industries, LTD., (CAC-004) is 

hereby granted as set forth in paragraph 

(2) below, subject to the provisions of 

paragraphs (3), (4) and (5).

(2) Not withstanding any contrary 

provisions of Appendix M of 10 CFR 

Part 430 Subpart B, Airlex Industries, 

LTD. shall be permitted to test its ERA/ 

S-RC/RH model central air conditioners 

and heat pumps on the basis specified in 

10 CFR Part 430, with the modifications 

set forth below:

(i) Test Procedure. The test procedure 

shall be as specified in Appendix M of 

10 CFR Part 430 Subpart B for 

determining the Seasonal Energy 

Efficiency Ratio (SEEA) without 

modification. The Heating Seasonal 

Performance Factor (HSPF) shall be 

tested in accordance with Appendix M 

with the following modifications:

(a) The high temperature test, section

3.2.1.1, will be performed at 62°F outdoor 

temperature;

(b) The low temperature test, section 

3.2.1.4, will be performed at 47°F dry 

bulb, 43°F wet bulb outdoor temperature 

in lieu of the existing 17°F test;

(c) The requirement for a 35°F Frost 

Accumulation Test, section 3.2.1.3, is 

deleted; and

(d) The set point for the model to 

disengage heat pump operation is to be 

at 40°F,

(ii) Heating Seasonal Performance 

Factor. The heating seasonal 

performance factor (HSPF) shall be 

expressed in Btu per watt-hour, for each 

of die six regions specified.

A separate HSPF shall be determined 

for the standardized maximum DHR, the 

standardized minimum DHR and for all 

other standardized DHR’s in Appendix 

M between the maximum and minimum 

values.

(3) The waiver shall remain in effect 

from the date of issuance of this Order

until the Department of Energy 

prescribes final test procedures 

appropriate to this model central air 

conditioner and heat pump.

(4) This waiver is based upon the 

presumed validity of statements, 

allegations, and documentary materials 

submitted by the applicant and in the 

comments. This waiver may be revoked 

or modified at any time upon a 

determination that the factual basis 

underlying the application is incorrect.

(5) Effective January 26,1989, this 

waiver supersedes the Interim Waiver 

granted Airlex on October 5,1988. 53 FR 

39130. (Case No. CAC-004).
