

For variable speed air-handler USAC and USHP ratings, in the event of absence
of variable speed HSVTC air-handler rating, all ratings that are more than 6%
SEER and/or EER and/or HSPF in excess of the highest rating of a System
Manufacturer’s coil rated with that variable speed air-handler and Outdoor Unit;



For variable speed furnace USHP ratings, in the event of absence of HSVTC coil
rating with the furnace, all ratings that are more than 6% SEER and/or EER
and/or HSPF ratings in excess of the highest rated

System Manufacturer’s coil

matched with that furnace and Outdoor Unit;



All ICM USHP ratings that are in excess of the coil-only

System Manufacturer’s

highest rating by more than 6% SEER and/or EER and/or HSPF ratings; and/or



For ratings of ICM combinations (-C ratings) that are based on System
Manufacturer HSVTC coil blower (

–CB) BMG and without coil-only (–C) ratings,

if the System Manufacturer HSVTC coil blower (

–CB) system combination is with

either a furnace or air-handler with a brushless DC motor (Ex: Multiple Speed

–

Constant Torque, Variable Speed), then the ICM cannot list a coil-only (

–C)

rating with it. If the HSVTC coil blower type is a PSC motor (Ex: Single Speed,
Dual Speed, Multiple Speed

– PSC), then the ICM coil-only (-C) rating cannot be

in excess of the

System Manufacturer’s HSVTC by more than 6% SEER and/or

EER and/or HSPF ratings.

5.12.1.1

Entering Data Above 6% Screen

. If a Participant provides ratings to

AHRI that exceed the 6% threshold, Participants shall be required to provide test
reports and/or ARM simulation input/output justifying the rating.

. Based on AHRI’s

approval, the listings shall be published in the Directory.

5.12.1.2

Entering Air-Handler Ratings

. If a Participant adds ICM combination air-handler (i.e.

– a

blower unit and evaporator coil combined) ratings when the System Manufacturer HSVTC combination is
coil-only, Participants shall be required to provide test reports and/or ARM simulation input/output justifying
the rating.

Based on AHRI’s approval, the listings shall be published in the Directory.

5.12.2

Coil Geometry Screening

. AHRI shall screen all single-speed and single-stage units

as per Appendix G.

5.12.3

Internal Refrigerant Volume (IRV) Screening

. AHRI shall screen all Heat Pump ratings

for ICMs where the IRV is above or below the

System Manufacturer’s IRV, in accordance with the

criteria described in Appendix A.

5.13

DOE Regional Standard Requirements

5.13.1

Air-Conditioner

Regional Label Requirement

. If a Partcipant is manufacturing a model

that can be installed in the Southwest region (as defined in 10 CFR Part 430.32), no label is
required.

If a Participant is manufacturing a model that can only be installed in the North region (as defined
in 10 CFR Part 430.32), the Participant shall have the statement

, “Install Prohibited in Southeast

and Southwest.

” on or near the nameplate of the condensing unit.

If a Participant is manufacturing a model that can only be installed in the North and Southeast
regions (as defined in 10 CFR Part 430.32), the Participant shall have the statement,

“Install

Prohibite

d in Southwest.” on or near the nameplate of the condensing unit.

The Laboratory shall verify there is a statement present, where applicable. If the required statement
is not present, the Laboratory shall notify AHRI immediately. This requirement is for products
