10 C.F.R. Subpart C—Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers and Refrigerator-Freezers
Title 10 - Energy
Source: 70 FR 60414, Oct. 18, 2005, unless otherwise noted.
This subpart contains energy conservation requirements for commercial refrigerators, freezers and refrigerator-freezers, pursuant to Part C of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6311–6317. Commercial refrigerator, freezer, and refrigerator-freezer means refrigeration equipment that— (1) Is not a consumer product (as defined in §430.2 of part 430); (2) Is not designed and marketed exclusively for medical, scientific, or research purposes; (3) Operates at a chilled, frozen, combination chilled and frozen, or variable temperature; (4) Displays or stores merchandise and other perishable materials horizontally, semi-vertically, or vertically; (5) Has transparent or solid doors, sliding or hinged doors, a combination of hinged, sliding, transparent, or solid doors, or no doors; (6) Is designed for pull-down temperature applications or holding temperature applications; and (7) Is connected to a self-contained condensing unit or to a remote condensing unit. Holding temperature application means a use of commercial refrigeration equipment other than a pull-down temperature application, except a blast chiller or freezer. Integrated average temperature means the average temperature of all test package measurements taken during the test. Pull-down temperature application means a commercial refrigerator with doors that, when fully loaded with 12 ounce beverage cans at 90 degrees F, can cool those beverages to an average stable temperature of 38 degrees F in 12 hours or less. Remote condensing unit means a factory-made assembly of refrigerating components designed to compress and liquefy a specific refrigerant that is remotely located from the refrigerated equipment and consists of 1 or more refrigerant compressors, refrigerant condensers, condenser fans and motors, and factory supplied accessories. Self-contained condensing unit means a factory-made assembly of refrigerating components designed to compress and liquefy a specific refrigerant that is an integral part of the refrigerated equipment and consists of 1 or more refrigerant compressors, refrigerant condensers, condenser fans and motors, and factory supplied accessories.
