Case #CR–007 

Decision and Order 

I. Background and Authority 

The Energy Policy and Conservation 

Act of 1975 (EPCA),1 Public Law 94–163 

(42 U.S.C. 6291–6317, as codified), 

among other things, authorizes DOE to 

regulate the energy efficiency of a 

number of consumer products and 

industrial equipment. Title III, Part C 2

of EPCA established the Energy 

Conservation Program for Certain 

Industrial Equipment, which sets forth a 

variety of provisions designed to 

improve energy efficiency for certain 

types of industrial equipment. This 

equipment includes commercial 

refrigeration equipment, the focus of 

this document. (42 U.S.C. 6311(a)(1)(E)) 

Under EPCA, DOE’s energy 

conservation program consists 

essentially of four parts: (1) Testing, (2) 

labeling, (3) Federal energy conservation 

standards, and (4) certification and 

enforcement procedures. Relevant 

provisions of the Act include definitions 

(42 U.S.C. 6311), energy conservation 

standards (42 U.S.C. 6313), test 

procedures (42 U.S.C. 6314), labeling 

provisions (42 U.S.C. 6315), and the 

authority to require information and 

reports from manufacturers (42 U.S.C. 

6316). 

The Federal testing requirements 

consist of test procedures that 

manufacturers of covered equipment 

must use as the basis for: (1) Certifying 

to DOE that their equipment complies 

with the applicable energy conservation 

standards adopted pursuant to EPCA (42 

U.S.C. 6316(a); 42 U.S.C. 6295(s)), and 

(2) making representations about the 

efficiency of that equipment (42 U.S.C. 

6314(d)). Similarly, DOE must use these 

test procedures to determine whether 

the equipment complies with relevant 

standards promulgated under EPCA. (42 

U.S.C. 6316(a); 42 U.S.C. 6295(s)) 

Under 42 U.S.C. 6314, EPCA sets forth 

the criteria and procedures DOE is 

required to follow when prescribing or 

amending test procedures for covered 

equipment. EPCA requires that any test 

procedures prescribed or amended 

under this section must be reasonably 

designed to produce test results which 

reflect energy efficiency, energy use or 

estimated annual operating cost of 

covered equipment during a 

representative average use cycle or 

period of use and requires that test 

procedures not be unduly burdensome 

to conduct. (42 U.S.C. 6314(a)(2)) The 

test procedure for commercial 

refrigeration equipment is contained in 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 

10 CFR part 431, subpart C, appendix B, 

‘‘Amended Uniform Test Method for the 

Measurement of Energy Consumption of 

Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers, and 

Refrigerator-Freezers.’’ 

Under 10 CFR 431.401, any interested 

person may submit a petition for waiver 

from DOE’s test procedure 

requirements. DOE will grant a waiver 

from the test procedure requirements if 

DOE determines either that the basic 

models for which the waiver was 

requested contain a design characteristic 

that prevents testing of the basic models 

according to the prescribed test 

procedures, or that the prescribed test 

procedures evaluate the basic models in 

a manner so unrepresentative of their 

true energy or water consumption 

characteristics as to provide materially 

inaccurate comparative data. 10 CFR 

431.401(a)(1). DOE may grant the 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 12, 2018 / Notices 46149 

waiver, subject to conditions, including 

adherence to alternate test procedures. 

10 CFR 431.401(f)(2). 

II. ITW’s Petition for Waiver: Assertions 

and Determinations 

By letter dated December 20, 2016 

(and supplemented on May 3, 2017), 

ITW submitted a petition for waiver and 

application for interim waiver for 

certain basic models of commercial 

refrigeration equipment that are 

required to be tested according to DOE’s 

test procedure at 10 CFR part 431, 

subpart C, appendix B. Specifically, 

ITW requested a waiver for certain 

Innopod temperature-controlled grocery 

and general merchandise system 

(Innopod) basic models of commercial 

refrigeration equipment. On July 19, 

2017, DOE published a notice that 

announced receipt of ITW’s petition for 

waiver (hereafter ‘‘notice of petition for 

waiver’’), and granted an interim waiver 

to ITW. 82 FR 33081. 

DOE’s current test procedure 

references Air-Conditioning and 

Refrigeration Institute (ARI) Standard 

1200–2006 and Air-Conditioning, 

Heating, and Refrigeration Institute 

(AHRI) Standard 1200 (I–P)–2010, 

which further references American 

National Standards Institute/American 

Society of Heating, Refrigerating and 

Air-Conditioning Engineers (ANSI/ 

ASHRAE) Standard 72 (incorporated by 

reference at 10 CFR 431.63(c) and (d)). 

ITW asserted that the current test 

procedures do not account for the 

unique operating characteristics of its 

Innopod basic models, including 

floating suction temperatures for 

individual compartments, different 

typical door-opening cycles, and a hightemperature ‘‘ambient’’ compartment. 

ITW asserted that its petition meets both 

conditions of 10 CFR 431.401(f)(2) for 

granting waivers, namely that (1) the 

basic models contain one or more 

design characteristics that prevent 

testing according to the prescribed test 

procedures; and (2) the prescribed test 

procedures evaluate the basic models in 

a manner so unrepresentative of its true 

energy consumption as to provide 

materially inaccurate comparative data. 

ITW submitted to DOE an alternate test 

procedure that it stated allows for 

testing its specified Innopod basic 

models. 

ITW’s petition recommended an 

alternate test using an ‘‘inverse 

refrigeration load’’ test, various 

calculations to account for refrigeration 

system and component energy 

consumption, and adjustments to the 

door opening requirements based on 

typical use in the field to accommodate 

for the basic models’ multiple thermally 

separated, temperature controlled 

compartments supplied with refrigerant 

from a single condensing unit. ITW’s 

recommended refrigeration system 

calculations rely on the current 

calculations and assumptions used for 

testing remote condensing commercial 

refrigeration equipment in accordance 

with the DOE test procedure. 

As noted in the notice of petition for 

waiver, DOE granted ITW an interim 

waiver and required that ITW test and 

rate the specified basic models 

according to an alternate procedure. The 

alternate procedure granted by DOE was 

similar to that requested by ITW, but 

with minor modifications. Those 

modifications included clarifications of 

how ITW should determine the basic 

models and adjust certain aspects of the 

requested alternate test procedure 

regarding ambient test conditions, 

reference to the current version of the 

AHRI 1200 industry standard, and 

clarifications to certain calculations. 82 

FR 33081, 33083–33084. DOE received 

no comments in response to the notice 

of petition for waiver. 

DOE understands that absent a 

waiver, the basic models identified by 

ITW in its petition cannot be tested and 

rated for energy consumption on a basis 

representative of their true energy 

consumption characteristics. DOE has 

reviewed the recommended procedure 

suggested by ITW and concludes that it 

will allow for the accurate measurement 

of the energy use of the equipment, 

while alleviating the testing problems 

associated with ITW’s implementation 

of DOE’s applicable commercial 

refrigeration equipment test procedure 

for the specified Innopod basic models. 

However, as in the interim test 

procedure waiver, DOE has clarified 

how ITW should determine basic 

models, as discussed in this notice, and 

adjusted certain aspects of the requested 

alternate test procedure regarding 

ambient test conditions, referenced 

industry standards, and calculations. 

In this Decision and Order, DOE 

requires that ITW test and rate specific 

basic models of commercial 

refrigeration equipment according to the 

alternate test procedure specified in this 

Decision and Order, which is identical 

to that provided by DOE in the interim 

waiver. 

In its petition, ITW sought a test 

procedure waiver for certain basic 

models. This Decision and Order is 

applicable only to the basic models 

listed and does not extend to any other 

basic models. ITW may request that the 

scope of this waiver be extended to 

include additional basic models that 

employ the same technology as those 

listed in this waiver. 10 CFR 431.401(g). 

ITW may also submit another petition 

for waiver from the test procedure for 

additional basic models that employ a 

different technology and meet the 

criteria for test procedure waivers. 10 

CFR 431.401(a)(1). 

DOE notes that it may modify the 

waiver at any time upon DOE’s 

determination that the factual basis 

underlying the petition for waiver is 

incorrect, or upon a determination that 

the results from the alternate test 

procedure are unrepresentative of the 

basic models’ true energy consumption 

characteristics. 10 CFR 431.401(k)(1). 

Likewise, ITW may request that DOE 

rescind or modify the waiver if the 

company discovers an error in the 

information provided to DOE as part of 

its petition, determines that the waiver 

is no longer needed, or for other 

appropriate reasons. 10 CFR 

431.401(k)(2). As set forth above, the 

test procedure specified in this Decision 

and Order is not the same as the test 

procedure offered by ITW. If ITW 

believes that the alternate test method it 

suggested provides representative 

results and is less burdensome than the 

test method required by this Decision 

and Order, ITW may submit a request 

for modification under 10 CFR 

431.401(k)(2) that addresses the 

concerns that DOE has specified with 

that procedure. ITW may also submit 

another less burdensome alternative test 

procedure not expressly considered in 

this notice under the same provision. 

III. Order 

After careful consideration of all the 

material submitted by ITW in this 

matter, it is ordered that: 

(1) ITW must, as of the date of 

publication of this Order in the Federal 

Register, test and rate the following ITW 

basic models as set forth in paragraph 

(2) below:

(2) The applicable method of test for 

the ITW basic models listed in 

paragraph (1) is the test procedure for 

commercial refrigeration equipment 

prescribed by DOE at 10 CFR part 431, 

subpart C, appendix B, with the 

following modifications: 

For the purpose of testing and rating, 

the Ambient (75 °F) compartment is 

treated as a Medium (Refrigerator at 75 

°F) compartment. All volume and 

energy consumption calculations will be 

included within the Medium 

(Refrigerator 38 °F) category and 

summed with other Medium 

(Refrigerator 38 °F) compartment(s) 

calculations. Compartments that are 

convertible between ambient and 

refrigerator temperature ranges shall be 

tested at the refrigerator temperature (38 

°F). Compartments that are convertible 

between refrigerator and freezer (0 °F) 

temperature ranges shall be tested at 

both temperatures.

Dew Point (D.P.): Derived from standard industry design practices, "as the customary saturated 

vapor temperature of the refrigerant as it leaves the cabinet through the suction line." The Energy 

Efficiency Ratio is then taken from this value using Table 1.

CEC ~ [(Q X t) + ML + (FEC + AEC +DEC) X 3.412] I (1000 X EER) 

>"Q" does NOT include waste heat from auxiliary components and moisture infiltration (must be 

added separately). 

Where: 

ML: Moisture load impacts (see below) 

FEC: Evaporator Fan/s [measured fan power x runtime per day] (Wh/day) 

AEC: Anti-Condensate Heater/s [measured heater power x runtime per day] (Wh/day) 

DEC: Defrost Heater/s [measured heater power x runtime per day] (Wh/day) 

Moisture load impact calculations: 

Total impact: Number of door openings times (Enthalpy Adjustment + Moisture/frost 

Accumulation): ML ~ Nd x (A,+ Am) 

Where N d ~ number of door openings during test 

Enthalpy Adjustment: A,~ [(H,- H,)- (H,- H,)] x m,

H, ~ ambient air enthalpy 

H, ~ compartment air enthalpy based on air conditions during cold operation: 

0 °F dry bulb/-20 °F dew pt. for freezer compartment; 

38 °F dry bulb/20 °F dew pt. for refrigerator compartment; 

75 °F dry bulb/20 °F dew pt. for ambient compartment. 

H, ~ compartment air enthalpy during heat leak test based on dew point being equal to 

ambient air dew point 

m, ~mass of compartment air exchanged (30% of total compartment volume) based

(3) Representations. ITW may make 

representations about the energy use of 

the specified basic models of its 

commercial refrigeration equipment for 

compliance, marketing, or other 

purposes only to the extent that such 

equipment has been tested in 

accordance with the provisions above 

and such representations fairly disclose 

the results of such testing in accordance 

with 10 CFR part 429, subpart B. 

(4) This waiver shall remain in effect 

consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR 

431.401. 

(5) This waiver is issued on the 

condition that the statements, 

representations, and documentation 

provided by the petitioner are valid. If 

ITW makes any modifications to the 

controls or configurations of these basic 

models, the waiver will no longer be 

valid and ITW will either be required to 

use the current Federal test method or 

submit a new application for a test 

procedure waiver. DOE may revoke or 

modify this waiver at any time if it 

determines the factual basis underlying 

the petition for waiver is incorrect, or 

the results from the alternate test 

procedure are unrepresentative of the 

basic models’ true energy consumption 

characteristics. Likewise, ITW may 

request that DOE rescind or modify the 

waiver if ITW discovers an error in the 

information provided to DOE as part of 

its petition, determines that the waiver 

is no longer needed, or for other 

appropriate reasons. 

(6) Granting of this waiver does not 

release a petitioner from the 

certification requirements set forth at 10 

CFR part 429. 

Signed in Washington, DC, on September 

6, 2018.
