Section 429.59. Pumps.
10 CFR § 429.59 - Pumps.
§ 429.59 Pumps.
(a)Determination of represented value. Manufacturers must determine the represented value, which includes the certified rating, for each basic model by testing (which includes the calculation-based methods in the test procedure), in conjunction with the following sampling provisions. Manufacturers must update represented values to account for any change in the applicable motor standards in § 431.25 of this chapter and certify amended values as of the next annual certification.
(1) Units to be tested. The requirements of § 429.11 are applicable to pumps; and for each basic model, a sample of sufficient size shall be randomly selected and tested to ensure that -
(i) Any value of the constant or variable load pump energy index or other measure of energy consumption must be greater than or equal to the higher of:
is the sample mean; n is the number of samples; and xi is the maximum of the i th sample;
is the sample mean; s is the sample standard deviation; n is the number of samples; and t0.95 is the t statistic for a 95 percent one-tailed confidence interval with n-1 degrees of freedom (from appendix A to subpart B of part 429);
(ii) Any representation of weighted energy factor of a basic model must be less than or equal to the lower of:
x – = 1 n ∑ i = 1 n x i
is the sample mean; n is the number of samples; and xi is the maximum of the ith sample; or,
L C L = x – − t 0.95 ( s n )
is the sample mean; s is the sample standard deviation; n is the number of samples; and t0.95 is the t statistic for a 95 percent one-tailed confidence interval with n-1 degrees of freedom (from appendix A of this subpart).
(2)Other representations -
(i)Rated hydraulic horsepower. The representative value of rated hydraulic horsepower of a basic model of dedicated-purpose pool pump must be the mean of the rated hydraulic horsepower for each tested unit.
(ii)Dedicated-purpose pool pump motor total horsepower. The representative value of dedicated-purpose pool pump motor total horsepower of a basic model of dedicated-purpose pool pump must be the mean of the dedicated-purpose pool pump motor total horsepower for each tested unit.
(iii)True power factor (PFi). The representative value of true power factor at each load point i of a basic model of dedicated-purpose pool pump must be the mean of the true power factors at that load point for each tested unit of dedicated-purpose pool pump.
