Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Test Procedure for Dishwashers; Correction
AGENCY:
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy.
ACTION:
Final rule; correction.
SUMMARY:
The Department of Energy (DOE) published a final rulemaking amending its test procedure for dishwashers on December 18, 2001. This document corrects the test procedure in the amendatory language of that rulemaking and makes revisions to a reference to an appendix section and to the equations for determining the water energy consumption per cycle using gas-heated or oil-heated water.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
June 17, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This document corrects the test procedure in a final rule published in the Federal Register on December 18, 2001 (66 FR 65091), regarding Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Test Procedure for Dishwashers. This correction revises a reference to an appendix section and revises the equations for determining the water energy consumption per cycle using gas-heated or oil-heated water.
In rule document FR Doc. 01-18429, appearing on page 65091, in the issue of Tuesday, December 18, 2001, the following corrections are made:
PART 430-[CORRECTED]
§ 430.23 [Corrected]
1. On page 65096 in the first column, § 430.23(c)(1)(ii)(B) is corrected to read as follows:
(B) For dishwashers not having a truncated normal cycle,
EAOC = N × D e × E n
where, N and D e are defined in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section,
E n = the total electrical energy consumption per cycle for the normal cycle as defined in section 1.5 of appendix C, in kilowatt-hours and determined according to section 5.4 of appendix C to this subpart,
E t = the total electrical energy consumption per cycle for the truncated normal cycle, in kilowatt-hours and determined according to section 5.4 of appendix C to this subpart."
2. On page 65097 in the second column, in Appendix C to Subpart B of Part 430, Sections 5.3, 5.3.1, and 5.3.2 are corrected to read as follows:
"5.3Water energy consumption per cycle using gas-heated or oil-heated water. Determine the water energy consumption for dishwashers according to sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 of this Appendix. Use the notation W n for a test of the normal cycle or W t for a test of the truncated normal cycle. Note that gas-heated or oil-heated water was used.
5.3.1Dishwashers that operate with a nominal 140° F inlet water temperature, only. For each test cycle, calculate the water energy consumption using gas-heated or oil-heated water, W, expressed in btu's per cycle and defined as:
W = V × T × C/e
where,
V = reported water consumption in gallons per cycle, as measured in section 4.3 of this Appendix,
T = nominal water heater temperature rise = 90° F,
C = specific heat of water in btu's per gallon per degree Fahrenheit = 8.2,
e = nominal gas or oil water heater recovery efficiency = 0.75.
5.3.2 Dishwashers that operate with a nominal inlet water temperature of 120° F. For each test cycle, calculate the water energy consumption using gas heated or oil heated water, W, expressed in btu's per cycle and defined as:
W = V × T × C/e
where,
V = reported water consumption in gallons per cycle, as measured in section 4.3 of this Appendix,
T = nominal water heater temperature rise = 70° F,
C = specific heat of water in btu's per gallon per degree Fahrenheit = 8.2,
e = nominal gas or oil water heater recovery efficiency = 0.75. "
