(a) Determination of represented value--(1) Refrigeration equipment: Manufacturers must determine the represented value, which includes the certified rating, for each basic model of walk-in cooler or freezer refrigeration equipment, either by testing, in conjunction with the applicable sampling provisions, or by applying an AEDM satisfying the criteria provided at Sec. 429.70(f)(1).
(1) Refrigeration equipment: Manufacturers must determine the represented value, which includes the certified rating, for each basic model of walk-in cooler or freezer refrigeration equipment, either by testing, in conjunction with the applicable sampling provisions, or by applying an AEDM satisfying the criteria provided at Sec. 429.70(f)(1).
(i) Units to be tested. (A) If the represented value for a given basic model is determined through testing, the general requirements of Sec. 429.11 apply; and
(A) If the represented value for a given basic model is determined through testing, the general requirements of Sec. 429.11 apply; and
(B) For each basic model selected for testing, a sample of sufficient size shall be randomly selected and tested to ensure that--
(1) Any represented value of energy consumption or other measure of energy use of a basic model for which consumers would favor lower values shall be greater than or equal to the higher of:
(i) The mean of the sample, where:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13MY14.000
and, xx is the sample mean; n is the number of samples; and xi is the ith sample; or,
(ii) The upper 95 percent confidence limit (UCL) of the true mean divided by 1.05, where:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13MY14.001
And xx 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% one-tailed confidence interval with n-1 degrees of freedom (from Appendix A to subpart B). And,
(2) Any represented value of energy efficiency or other measure of energy consumption of a basic model for which consumers would favor higher values shall be less than or equal to the lower of:
(i) The mean of the sample, where:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13MY14.002
And, xx is the sample mean; n is the number of samples; and xi is the ith sample; or,
(ii) The lower 95 percent confidence limit (LCL) of the true mean divided by 0.95, where:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13MY14.003
And xx 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% one-tailed confidence interval with n-1 degrees of freedom (from Appendix A to subpart B).
(ii) Alternative efficiency determination methods. In lieu of testing, a represented value of efficiency or consumption for a basic model of a walk-in cooler or freezer refrigeration system must be determined through the application of an AEDM pursuant to the requirements of Sec. 429.70 and the provisions of this section, where:
(A) Any represented value of energy consumption or other measure of energy use of a basic model for which consumers would favor lower values shall be greater than or equal to the output of the AEDM and less than or equal to the Federal standard for that basic model; and
(B) Any represented value of energy efficiency or other measure of energy consumption of a basic model for which consumers would favor higher values shall be less than or equal to the output of the AEDM and greater than or equal to the Federal standard for that basic model.
(iii) If the represented value of a refrigeration system was determined using the unit cooler testing provisions at 10 CFR 431.304(c)(12), that represented value may be used for all refrigeration systems containing that unit cooler irrespective of whether such equipment is sold separately or as part of a matched refrigeration system. However, for any representations of matched-system efficiency that exceed the refrigeration system rating as determined by the unit cooler testing provisions at 10 CFR 431.304(c)(12) and for which a manufacturer wishes to make representations of the more-efficient rating, then the matched refrigeration system must be tested separately in accordance with the DOE test procedure for matched systems and applicable sampling plan.
(2) WICF components other than those specified in (a)(1) of this section--(i) Units to be tested.
(i) Units to be tested.
(A) The general requirements of Sec. 429.11 apply; and
(B) For each basic model selected for testing, a sample of sufficient size shall be randomly selected and tested to ensure that--
(1) Any represented value of energy consumption or other measure of energy use of a basic model for which consumers would favor lower values shall be greater than or equal to the higher of:
(i) The mean of the sample, where:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13MY14.004
and, xx is the sample mean; n is the number of samples; and xi is the ith sample; or,
(ii) The upper 95 percent confidence limit (UCL) of the true mean divided by 1.05, where:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13MY14.005
And xx 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% one-tailed confidence interval with n-1 degrees of freedom (from Appendix A to subpart B). And,
(2) Any represented value of energy efficiency or other measure of energy consumption of a basic model for which consumers would favor higher values shall be less than or equal to the lower of:
(i) The mean of the sample, where: [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13MY14.006
And, xx is the sample mean; n is the number of samples; and xi is the i\th\ sample; or,
(ii) The lower 95 percent confidence limit (LCL) of the true mean divided by 0.95, where:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13MY14.007
And xx 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% one-tailed confidence interval with n-1 degrees of freedom (from Appendix A to subpart B).
