### Appliance Standards and Rulemaki ng Federal Advisory Committee Commercial and Industrial Pumps Working Group Vote Summary June 17, 2014

Definition of Covered Product The covered product, a ‘pump,’ will be defined as below subject to potential edits necessary to accomplish the same intent:

 ‘ Pump ’ is a device that moves liquids (which may include entrained gases, free solids, and totally dissolved solids) by physical or mechanical action and includes a bare pump and, if included by the manufacturer, the mech anical equipment, driver, and controls.

Vote results : Consensus 1 (15 yes -1 no) on 3/4/2014

The components of a ‘pump’ will be defined as below:

 ‘ Bare pump ’ is a ‘pump’ excluding mechanical equipment, driver, and controls.

 ‘ Mechanical equipment ’ is any component that transfer s energy from the driver to the bare pump.

 ‘ Driver ’ is the machine providing mechanical input to drive the bare pump directly or through the mechanical equipment, and ma y include an electric motor, internal combustion engine, or gas/steam turbine.

 ‘ Controls ’ means any device that can be used to control the driver.

Vote results : Consensus (15 yes - 1 absent) on 3/4/2014

In this rulemaking, the metric will not cover non- electric drivers. The test procedure will specify that the bare pump rating calculations for the en ergy conservation standard also apply to pumps with non-electric drivers.

Vote results: Unanimous on 3/26/14


### In-Scope and Out-of-Scope Pumps The scope of this rulemaking will in clude the following pump types:

 End suction frame mounted/ow n bearings (ESFM/OH0, OH1)

 End suction close coupled (ESCC/OH7)

 Inline (IL/OH3, OH4, OH5)

 Radial split (multistage) vertical (RS-V/VS8)

 Vertical turbine subm ersible (VT-S/VS0)

Vote results: Consensus (15 yes - 1 abstain) on 3/26/14

1 There are 16 members of the working group. Consensus has been defined as no more than 2 no votes.Circulators and dedicated-purpose pool pumps will be held for additional ASRAC-approved negotiation.

 Include schedule in term sheet for this working group

 Target date is term sheet for 2nd negotia tion by end of this year (subject to DOE capacity) – begin immediatel y following this negotiation

 Working group recommendation to ASRAC

Vote results: Consensus (15 yes -1 abstain) on 3/26/14

This rulemaking will explicitly excl ude the following types of pumps:

 Positive displacement pumps

 Axial/mixed flow pumps

Vote results : Unanimous on 1/31/14

 Double suction (DS)

 Multistage axially split (AS)

 Multistage radial split-horizontal (RS-H)

 Multistage radial split vertical immersible

 Vertical turbine (non-submersible) (VT)

Vote results : Consensus (15 yes - 1 abstain) on 3/26/14


### Scope Refinements For the in-scope pump types, this rulemaking will be limited to pumps with the following characteristics:

 Full impeller diameter

 1-200 Horsepower (shaft power at BEP)

o applies to number of stages re quired for testi ng the standard

 25 gallons/minute and greater (at BEP)

 459 feet of head maximum (at BEP)

 Design temperature range from -10 to 120 degrees C

 Pumps designed for nominal 3600 or 1800 rpm driver speeds

 6 inch or smaller bowl diameter (VT-S/HI VSO)

Vote results: Consensus (15 yes - 1 absent) on 3/4/14

It has been the intent of the working group to limit the scope of th is rulemaking to pumps designed for use in pumping clean water . The rulemaking will explicitly exclude the following types of pumps [that might otherwise meet the definition of an in-scope pump type]: 2

 Wastewater, sump, slurry, solids handling

2 Definitions designed to maintain the intent of these exclusions will be proposed in the NOPR by DOE.o but not gray water

 API 610 pumps

 ASME/ISO chemical pumps

 Fire pumps

o if compliant with NFPA 20 a nd UL listed or FM approved

 Self-priming pumps

 Prime-assisted pumps

Vote results : Unanimous on 1/31/14

 Nuclear pumps

o Complies with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III or 10CFR50; Non Code or Code/Safety Related.

 Navy pumps

o MIL Specification Compliant (MIL -P-17639, MIL-P-17881, MIL-P-17840, MILP-18682, MIL-P-18472)

Vote results : Consensus (14 yes - 2 absent) on 3/4/14

 Sanitary pumps

o “Hygienic” or “sanitary” pumps are t ypically used in food processing and pharmaceutical applications. They are desi gned with special parameters, specific materials and surface finish to a variety of national and international rules and regulations that will minimize the biologi cal growth inside the pump to protect public health. These design parameters and materials may result in lower efficiencies than for standard water pumps. Certifications for hygienic or sanitary products include, but are not limited to:

 3-A Sanitary Standards

 EHEDG (European Hygienic Equipm ent Design Group) recommendations

 QHD (Qualified Hygienic Design)

Vote results : Unanimous on 3/26/14


### Energy Conservation Standards For ESCC, ESFM, IL, and VT-S pumps in both 1800 and 3600 rpm speeds, the energy conservation standards will be set at PER 25 (with C- values iterated to cut off exactly 25% of the pumps in our database) with a compliance date 4 years from the publication of the Final Rule. For RS-V pumps, energy conservation standards will be set to harmonize with the European Union Lot 11 MEI 40 level, with the intent that no models known to pass the EU standard would fail the US standard.

Vote results : Consensus (14 yes – 1 abst ain – 1 absent) on 3/26/14
