    Reading Time:about 22 minutes

    The Department of Energy (DOE) has received a petition from Hussmann Corporation requesting an exemption from their current testing procedures for certain CO2 direct expansion unit cooler models used in walk-in coolers and freezers. The existing test conditions are not suitable for these models because CO2 behaves differently from other refrigerants. DOE has issued an interim waiver allowing Hussmann to use an alternate test procedure while they gather public comments and make a final decision. This interim waiver will help ensure the accurate testing and representation of the energy efficiency of Hussmann's products.

    Simple Explanation

    Hussmann Corporation asked for special permission to use a new way to test how energy-efficient their coolers are because they work differently with CO2. The government let them try this new test for now while they decide if it should be allowed permanently.

  • 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.
