1. Introduction
1.1. Objectives
1.1.1 Develop proposed improvements to the 2008 Title 24 Part 6 documents
emphasizing Residential Appendices RA3.2 refrigerant charge verification issues,
RA3.3 airflow measurement issues, and other HVAC field verification and
diagnostic test protocol issues as needed.
1.1.2 Review previous PIER and ACEEE research papers (authored by Keith Temple)
for recommendations appropriate to be incorporated into the 2013 regulations.
Previous work includes the following:
1.1.2.1 Building Energy Research Grant (BERG) Final Report, Expanded Test
Protocols for Low Ambient Testing of Unitary AC, September 5, 2008
[BERG report]
1.1.2.2 ACEEE Summer Study 2006, Enhanced Refrigeration Diagnostics for an
Improved Air Conditioning Tune-up Program

2.2.3 The target table does not address dry indoor coil condition which corresponds to
test conditions with low indoor air wet-bulb temperature (reference: BERG report
and ASHRAE presentation)
2.2.4 There is an offset between the target table values and experimental data for 10
EER systems. This is illustrated in Figure 78 of the BERG report (Temple,
2008a). At the nominal rating condition (80/67/95) the experimental data have an
average value approximately 1.8˚F above the table value of 18.3˚F. (reference:
BERG report and ASHRAE presentation)
2.2.5 The procedure does not allow the use of manufacturer’s target data for the system
being tested
2.2.6 In addition to indoor airflow, temperature split is impacted by any fault that
reduces capacity
2.2.7 The method does not account for indoor airflow rates other than the nominal
airflow (400 cfm/ton), except in the acceptance tolerance. The table was
developed for a nominal airflow rate and verification at another airflow rate
would require a table for that airflow rate. Temperature split (or ITD) variation
with airflow for selected operating conditions is presented in Figure 12, Figure 32,
Figure 43, and Figure 55 of the BERG report (Temple, 2008a).
2.3. Limitations of Superheat Method (non-TxV systems)
2.3.1 The target superheat table does not address dry indoor coil condition which
corresponds to test conditions with low indoor air wet-bulb temperature
(reference: BERG report)
2.3.2 The procedure requires a minimum indoor air dry-bulb temperature of 70°F when
outdoor air temperature is between 55°F and 65°F
2.3.3 The procedure does not allow use of manufacturer’s data
2.3.4 Superheat (non-TxV systems) can be impacted by system faults other than
refrigerant charge including the following:
2.3.4.1 Liquid line restriction (high)
2.3.4.2 Evaporator heat transfer problem including reduced indoor airflow
2.4. Limitations of Subcooling Method (TxV systems)
2.4.1 Superheat verification was previously recommended for TxV systems (BERG
report, 2008) and has been incorporated into the 2008 standards (manufacturer’s
recommended range or 4 to 25°F).
2.4.2 Subcooling (TxV systems) can be impacted by system faults other than refrigerant
charge including the following:
2.4.2.1 Liquid line restriction (high)
2.4.2.2 Condenser heat transfer problem including reduced outdoor airflow
2.4.2.3 Non-condensable gas in system
2.5. Limitations of Alternate Charge Measurement Procedure (RA3.2.3)

2.5.1 The method is indicated (in RA3.2.3) as required for verification when the
outdoor air temperature is below 55°F; however, it is not clear if the method is
acceptable when the temperature is above 55°F.
2.5.2 The discussion (in RA3.2.3) of the nameplate (nominal) refrigerant charge
included in the outdoor unit and the charge adjustment for the liquid line length
provides an opportunity for confusion regarding what charge must be weighed
(the total charge or the charge adjustment for the lineset).
2.5.3 The Instrument Specifications (RA3.2.2.1) do not provide requirements for
refrigerant scales.
2.5.4 The Residential Compliance Manual (CEC-400-2008-016-CMF) indicates “The
Weigh-In Charging Method is used only when the outdoor temperature is below
55°F.” Additionally the manual indicates “By weight, add or remove the proper
amount of refrigerant to compensate for the actual lineset length/diameter using
the manufacturer’s specifications.” The form CF-6R-MECH-26-HERS
(Refrigerant Charge Verification - Alternate Measurement Procedure) provided in
this document appears to be consistent with these instructions.
2.5.5 The current requirements are unclear. Weighing the entire system refrigerant
charge should be an acceptable method of verification for an installer (or
technician) under any test or system conditions.
2.6. Extended Test Range below 55°F Outdoor Air Temperature
2.6.1 An extended test range to 50°F outdoor air dry-bulb temperature was previously
recommended (BERG report, 2008). The proposal included enhancements to the
superheat and subcooling methods of refrigerant charge verification (and also
temperature split method) to address the extended test conditions.
2.7. Expanded Diagnostic Protocols
2.7.1 An improved refrigerant charge diagnostic protocol has been proposed by Temple
(2004) that is based on a combination of superheat and subcooling and is
applicable to TxV and non-TxV systems. The method was found to be relatively
insensitive to other system faults and a similar method has since been proposed by
researchers at Purdue University (Li and Braun, 2005 and 2008). The method
developed by Temple requires applicable manufacturer data for application to a
specific system (target values). The method of Li and Braun is indicated to work
without specific manufacturer data for the system. There are potential intellectual
property issues associated with a patent assigned to Lennox Industries (US Patent
6,571,566) and a patent assigned to Purdue University (US Patent 7,631,508).
2.7.2 An improved diagnostic protocol has been proposed by Temple and Rossi (2006)
that is based on an evaluation of refrigerant evaporating temperature (at the
compressor suction) and refrigerant condensing temperature (at the condenser
outlet). This protocol has the advantage of identifying other system faults that can
impact the refrigerant charge verification based on superheat or subcooling alone.
This method requires appropriate target values for evaporating temperature and
condensing temperature.

4.1.2 New proposed temperature split tables are presented by Temple (2008b) in Tables
RD-4a through RD-4i. The tables correspond to different outdoor air dry-bulb
temperatures (50°F, 60°F, 70°F, 80°F, 90°F, 95°F,100°F, 110°F, and 120°F) and
values can be interpolated between tables. The proposed tables are included in
this document as Table 1 through Table 9. Selected data for the proposed tables
are presented in Figure 3 with data from the current table. The data are presented
as ITD in this figure instead of TS. The two values differ by 1.1°F as indicated in
Figure 1 and the Glossary. (The proposed and current datasets for the 80/_/ 95
conditions can be compared.) The nominal temperature split value at 80/67/95
changes from 18.3°F to 19.9°F (ITD changes from 19.4°F to 21.0°F). The tables
address outdoor air dry-bulb temperature dependence and extend testing to low
indoor air wet-bulb temperatures and indoor air dry-bulb temperature to 65°F
(from 70°F).
4.1.3 The requirements for a valid test shall include the following:
4.1.3.1 50°F ≤ OAT ≤ 120°F
4.1.3.2 65°F ≤ RDB ≤ 84°F
4.1.3.3 RWB ≤ 76°F
4.1.4 Allow use of model-specific data when available from the equipment
manufacturer
4.1.4.1 The requirements of 4.1.3 (above) shall apply unless the manufacturer
further limits the test
Temple_ProposedImprovements_20110628acceptchg.doc 6/28/2011
Keith A. Temple, P.E. Page 10 of 29
4.1.4.2 The target value shall be selected based on the measured operating
conditions and the specified design airflow rate using the manufacturer’s
data for the corresponding outdoor and indoor units.
4.1.4.3 The source of manufacturer data and corresponding target value shall be
identified in the project records (by installer or HERS rater)
4.2. Superheat Method (non-TxV systems)
4.2.1 New proposed superheat tables are presented by Temple (2008b) in Tables RD-2a
through RD-2f. The tables correspond to different indoor air dry-bulb
temperatures (84°F, 82°F, 80°F, 78°F, 76°F, and 74°F or less) and values can be
interpolated between tables. Selected data for the proposed tables are presented in
Figure 4 with data from the current table. (The proposed and current datasets for
outdoor air temperature of 95°F can be compared.) The nominal superheat of
12°F at 80/67/95 is retained for the new tables. The column for 50°F outdoor air
temperature should be removed from the tables in the referenced document
(Temple, 2008b). Revised tables are included in this document as Table 10
through Table 15. The tables address indoor air dry-bulb temperature dependence,
extending testing to low indoor air wet-bulb temperatures and indoor air dry-bulb
temperature to 65°F.
4.2.2 It is proposed to limit the valid test to conditions when the target superheat tables
provide a value equal to or greater than 5°F. The use of subcooling at low target
superheat, as proposed by Temple (2008a), is not recommended at this time
because of the limited experimental data available for validation of the method.
4.2.3 The requirements for a valid test shall include the following:
4.2.3.1 55°F ≤ OAT ≤ 115°F
4.2.3.2 65°F ≤ RDB ≤ 84°F
4.2.3.3 RWB ≤ 76°F
4.2.3.4 5.0°F ≤ SHtarget
4.2.4 Allow use of model-specific data when available from the equipment
manufacturer
4.2.4.1 The requirements of 4.2.3 (above) shall apply unless the manufacturer
further limits the test
4.2.4.2 The source of manufacturer data and corresponding target value shall be
identified in the project records (by installer or HERS rater)
4.3. Subcooling Method (TxV systems)
4.3.1 There are no recommendations for the basic subcooling method.
4.3.2 It is recommended that acceptance limits for HERS raters be revised from ±4°F to
±6°F of the target subcooling value and not less than 2°F subcooling. No
additional definition is required.
4.4. Alternate Charge Measurement Procedure (RA3.2.3)
4.4.1 The method of refrigerant charge verification is acceptable regardless of the
outdoor air temperature (including when the temperature is above 55°F).
