4An ‘‘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. 

(3) Rules for Generalizing the Specific 

Test Procedure Modifications 

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. 

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. 

(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.
