| 95-31424 | Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Granting of the Application for Interim Waiver and Publishing of the Petition for Waiver of Vermont Castings, Inc. From the DOE Vented Home Heating Equipment Test Procedure (Case No. DH-003) | Notice | Today's notice grants an Interim Waiver to Vermont Castings, Inc. (Vermont Castings) from the existing Department of Energy (DOE or Department) test procedure regarding pilot light energy consumption and weighted average steady-state efficiency for its manually controlled vented heaters, models DV25 (Gas Fired Freestanding Direct Vent Firebox) and DH20 (Gas Fired Wallmount/Zero Clearance Direct Vent Firebox). Today's notice also publishes a ``Petition for Waiver'' from Vermont Castings. Vermont Castings' Petition for Waiver requests DOE to grant relief from the DOE vented home heating equipment test procedure relating to the use of pilot light energy consumption in calculating the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) and the calculation of weighted average steady state efficiency of its models DV25 and DH20 vented heaters. Vermont Castings seeks to delete the required pilot light measurement (Q<INF>p) in the calculation of AFUE when the pilot is off, and to test at a minimum fuel input rate of two-thirds instead of the specified 5 percent of 50 percent of the maximum fuel input rate in the calculation of AFUE. The Department is soliciting comments, data, and information respecting the Petition for Waiver. | 1995-12-28 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/28/95-31424/energy-conservation-program-for-consumer-products-granting-of-the-application-for-interim-waiver-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-28/pdf/95-31424.pdf | Energy Department | 136 | Today's notice grants an Interim Waiver to Vermont Castings, Inc.
