    Citation:86 FR 11972
    Reading Time:about 36 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has received a petition for waiver and interim waiver from CellarPro, seeking an exemption from the standard test procedure for specified models of walk-in cooler refrigeration systems. CellarPro argues that the current procedure does not accurately represent the true energy consumption of their models, which are specifically designed for wine storage at higher temperatures than typical coolers. DOE has issued an Interim Waiver Order, requiring CellarPro to use an alternate test procedure that accounts for these design differences, and is seeking public comments on this petition. This decision is based on DOE's acknowledgment that the standard test procedure does not fit the unique characteristics of these systems.

    Simple Explanation

    The Energy Department is letting a company called CellarPro test their special coolers in a different way because they work differently from normal ones, especially since they are made to keep wine at good temperatures. They are asking people to share their thoughts on this new testing method.

  • 2021-00393 — Energy Conservation Program: Notification of Petition for Waiver of Air Innovations From the Department of Energy Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In Freezers Test Procedure and Notification of Grant of Interim Waiver
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 2403
    Reading Time:about 45 minutes

    The Department of Energy (DOE) has received and published a petition from Air Innovations seeking a waiver from the standard DOE test procedures for certain wine cellar cooling systems. Air Innovations claims that the current test, which evaluates systems at a 35°F temperature, does not accurately reflect the energy usage of their models, which are designed for wine storage at 55°F. DOE has issued an Interim Waiver Order allowing Air Innovations to use an alternate test procedure with revised temperature and humidity settings for these systems while they consider the petition further. Public comments on the matter are invited until February 11, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Energy is letting a company called Air Innovations temporarily use a different way to check how much energy some of their special coolers use, because the usual test doesn't match how their coolers work. They're asking people to send in their thoughts about this until February 11, 2021.
