Margaret:
 
On the 5000 BTU unit, Intertek explains that at the low charge rates, the 
room overwhelmed the unit and they could not get a steady reading. On the 
10000 BTU unit, the charge at 40% started to stabilize at the best EER. 
The attached report explains this. In order for me to get the unit to 
perform at the lower charge rates, I would need to work with the cap 
tubes. An adjustment of these tubes, would then bring the BTU up with the 
EER at around 30% charge. I don't want to attempt this at this point for 
it would create ill feeling between the manufacturer (who had an engineer 
there) and myself.
 
As per our conversation, the manufacturer would be willing to work with me 
if, and only, HCR-188C is passed. This is the one benefit I would have to 
deal with other air conditioners at a lower charge rate and a better EER.
