Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Test Procedures for Residential Furnace Fans

Краткое содержание

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to establish test procedures for residential products that use electricity for purposes of circulating air through duct work, hereafter referred to as "furnace fans." Specifically, this notice proposes to establish a test method for measuring the airflow performance and electrical consumption of these products. Concurrently, DOE is undertaking an energy conservation standards rulemaking to address the electrical energy used by these products for circulating air. Once these energy conservation standards are promulgated, the adopted test procedures will be used to determine compliance with the standards. DOE is also announcing a public meeting to discuss and receive comments on issues presented in this test procedure rulemaking.
