Memorandum
To:		Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0748
From:		Gerald Wozniak, Margaret Sheppard, and Dave Godwin
      EPA/Stratospheric Protection Division
Subject:	Derivation of Charge Limits for Room Air Conditioners
Date:		May 27, 2014

	This document describes how EPA derived the refrigerant charge limits for room air conditioners and heat pumps proposed in "Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Listing of Substitutes for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning and Revision of the Venting Prohibition for Certain Refrigerant Substitutes."

Source documents for calculations
      These charge limits are based upon calculations from formulas in Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standard 484, Room Air Conditioners. The formulas in Appendix F of the UL 484 standard in turn are based upon the international industry standard International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60335-2-40, "Particular Requirements for Electrical Heat Pumps, Air Conditioners and Dehumidifiers" (2005). Kataoka, et al. (2000) first derived these formulas and discussed their technical basis. These formulas are empirically derived, considering molecular mass, lower flammability limit, refrigerant dispersion, leak rates, and the dimensions of the space that refrigerant leaks into. These formulas also were proposed to the IEC SC 61D and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) TC86 SC1 WG1 joint working groups to assist in setting standards for using flammable refrigerants in air conditioning equipment and dehumidifiers (Kataoka et al., 2000).
 Formula used to establish limits
      The formula from appendix F of UL 484 (section 1.6), "Requirements for Charge Limits," is for appliances with charge amounts m1 < M < m2, where M is the refrigerant charge amount in appliance in kg, m1 is 4m[3] x the lower flammability limit (LFL) in kg/m[3], and m2 is 26m[3] x LFL. The formula for the maximum allowable charge size is as follows:
      mmax=2.5 (LFL)54 hoA
      Where,
      mmax = the maximum allowable charge size allowed for the space, in kg,

      LFL = the lower flammability limit of the refrigerant in kg/m[3],
      h0 = the installation height of the indoor unit in m (0.6 m for an air conditioning (AC) unit on the floor, 1.0 m for an AC unit in a window, 1.8 m for a wall-mounted AC unit, and 2.2 m for a ceiling-mounted AC unit)
      A = the area of the room, in m[2]
      The formulas are based upon the conservative assumption that the ceiling of the room is 2.2 m (8 ft) high. The formulas are designed to prevent exceedance of 25% of the LFL.
      EPA used the following methodology to derive the maximum allowable charge limits by means of the aforementioned equation.  This approach included examining the charge limit with respect to the LFLs of different refrigerants, while taking into consideration variables such as the installation height (h0) of the AC unit and the area of the room.
      Source of values in the formula for maximum allowable charge size
       Lower Flammability Limit (LFL) values
EPA used the following information in calculating the lower flammability limit on the basis of mass per unit volume (kg/m[3]), abbreviated LFLm.

IUPAC chemical name or blend composition
                                                           Molar mass (kg/kmol)
                                                                LFLm in kg/m[3]
                                                                  LFLv in % v/v

                                                                          0.306
                                                                          14.4%

                                                                          0.041
                                                                          2.05%
For R-290 and R-32, the LFLm values are listed in Appendix B of UL 484. For R-441A, EPA used the LFL as a percentage of volume per volume from A.S. Trust & Holdings' SNAP submission (2.05%) and calculated the LFLm from the LFLv using the following formula:
                        LFLm = (MM/24.4) x LFLv x 1000
      Where,
      LFLm = lower flammability limit in kg/m[3] (0.041),
      MM = molecular mass in kg/mol (0.04844),
      LFLv = lower flammability limit as a percentage volume (0.0205),
      24.4 = conversion factor, 1 mole of a gas per 24.4 liters at standard temperature (32ºF, 0ºC) and pressure (1 atmosphere, 101.325 kPa), based on the ideal gas law,
      1000 = conversion factor, 1000 liters per m[3]

       Installation Height (h0) values
      Appendix F in the UL 484 standard sets four installation heights for a unit:  0.6 m for an AC unit on the floor, 1.0 m for an AC unit in a window, 1.8 m for a wall-mounted AC unit, and 2.2 m for a ceiling-mounted AC unit. In terms of determining if concentrations are small enough to remain below the LFL if the refrigerant is released, a greater compressor height h0 corresponds with better mixing of the refrigerant throughout a room. For example, a release of refrigerant near the ceiling will be more thoroughly mixed and there will be lower concentrations than if the same refrigerant charge is released close to the floor.
      EPA established the tables of proposed charge limits with h0 values that correspond to the following room air conditioner types:
         * h0=0.6 m:  packaged terminal air conditioners (PTACs), packaged terminal heat pumps (PTHPs), and portable air conditioners (all units on or near floor)
         * h0=1.0 m:  window AC units
         * h0=1.8 m:  wall-mounted AC units
         * h0=2.2 m:  ceiling-mounted AC units

 Correlation of AC unit capacity and room area
      After determining the LFLm and installation heights the EPA used approximation of appropriate capacities for cooling a given area. The capacities for cooling a given area of a room is based upon the following table from EnergyStar 2014:
Area To Be Cooled (ft[2])
Capacity Needed (BTUs/hour)
100 up to 150
5,000
150 up to 250
6,000
250 up to 300
7,000
300 up to 350
8,000
350 up to 400

21,000
1,200 up to 1,400

24,000
1,500 up to 2,000
30,000
2,000 up to 2,500
34,000

      EPA used the correlations below in associating capacity with room area. We used a conversion factor of 0.092903 m[2]/ft[2]. EPA established the tables of proposed charge limits with respect to the minimum area required for a maximum charge that correspond to the room air conditioner type.

       Sources of uncertainty in capacity value
        EPA's EnergyStar program website also suggests some adjustments to capacity to address additional factors that may increase or decrease cooling capacity needed for a room:
         o      If the room is heavily shaded, reduce capacity by 10 percent.
         o      If the room is very sunny, increase capacity by 10 percent.
         o      If more than two people regularly occupy the room, add 600 BTUs for each additional person.
         o      If the unit is used in a kitchen, increase capacity by 4,000 BTUs.
The calculations used to derive the charge sizes in EPA's proposed rule do not adjust for these additional factors.
 Proposed charge limits
 Table A below illustrates the maximum design charge sizes (kg) for window air conditioners with an installation height equal to 1m for different cooling capacities. Table B illustrates the maximum design charge sizes (kg) for PTACs, PTHPs and portable air conditioning units with an installation height equal to 0.6 m. Table C illustrates the maximum design charge sizes (kg) for wall mounted AC units with an installation height equal to 1.8 m. Table D illustrates the maximum design charge sizes (kg) for ceiling-mounted AC units with an installation height equal to 2.2m. These tables clearly indicate that charge sizes will slightly increase as a result of the installation height of the unit. For example, the charge size of 1.73 kg for R-32 in Table A (the lowest installation height) is much smaller than the charge size of 3.82 kg for R-32 in Table D (the highest installation height). It is also important to note that these charge sizes were derived with respect to the minimum room area for a given capacity and thus these calculations are based on a conservative analysis. For example, if the maximum room area was considered, it would yield a slightly higher maximum design charge size.
 The UL standard indicates that the formula used above is for appliances with charge sizes in a given range of m1 and m2. As indicated on page 1 of this memo, m2 is 26 m3 x LFL. Therefore, the calculations of allowable charge size, shown in Tables A through D, must be checked to ensure the values remain below m2. Although this limit is not reached in Tables A and B, it is reached in Tables C and D; those values are marked with an asterisk (*). Specifically, these maximum charge limits will apply and supersede those in the Tables C and D:
   * In Table E, for R-32, for capacities >= 18,000 BTU/hr: 7.956 kg.
   * In Table E, for R-290, for capacities = 34,000 BTU/hr: 0.988 kg.
   * In Table E, for R-441A, for capacities = 34,000 BTU/hr: 1.066 kg.
   * In Table F, for R-32, for capacities >= 12,000 BTU/hr: 7.956 kg.
   * In Table F, for R-290, for capacities >= 24,000 BTU/hr: 0.988 kg.
   * In Table F, for R-441A, for capacities >= 23,000 BTU/hr: 1.066 kg.

 Incorporating these results, Tables E and F present the maximum charge size limits for wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted room air conditioners, respectively.

The proposed charge limits are stated below in Tables A, B, E and F. (Values published in the notice of proposed rulemaking are rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilogram, rather than the nearest gram.)

Amendment 39-18571; AD 2016-13-07]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus
Helicopters Model AS 365 N3 helicopters. This AD requires inspecting
the cabin and cockpit for labels, placards, or markings that provide
jettison procedure instructions for cabin doors, removing any labels,
placards, or markings that are in an incorrect location, and installing
placards where they are missing. This AD is prompted by the
determination that placards had not been installed according to
specifications on newly manufactured helicopters. The actions are
intended to provide exit procedures during an emergency.

DATES: This AD is effective August 2, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain document listed in this AD as of August 2, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On March 11, 2016, at 81 FR 12836, the Federal Register published
our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Airbus Helicopters
Model AS 365 N3 helicopters. The NPRM proposed to require inspecting
the cabin and cockpit for labels, placards, or markings that provide
jettison procedure instructions for cabin doors, removing any labels,
placards, or markings that are in an incorrect location, and installing
placards in the correct locations. The proposed requirements were
intended to provide exit procedures during an emergency.
    The NPRM was prompted by AD No. 2015-0068-E, dated April 29, 2015,
issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of
the European Union, to correct an unsafe condition for the Airbus
Helicopters Model AS 365 N3 helicopters without external life rafts
installed, except those helicopters modified in accordance with Airbus
Helicopters modification (MOD) 0711B68, and Model AS 365 N3 helicopters
with external life rafts installed, except those helicopters modified
in accordance Airbus Helicopters MOD 0711B67 and MOD 0711B68. EASA
advises that during helicopter delivery after manufacturing, Airbus
Helicopters identified that placards providing jettison procedure
instructions for the cabin doors were not systematically installed or
not installed in a proper location. This condition, if not corrected,
could prevent the timely evacuation of the helicopter during an
emergency. The EASA AD consequently requires determining whether any
placards are missing or incorrectly located, installing any missing
placards, and replacing any incorrectly located placards.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we received no comments on the NPRM (81 FR 12836, March
11, 2016).

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
France and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with France, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all
information

provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists and is
likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of this same type
design and that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD requirements as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires compliance within 14 days after the effective
date of the EASA AD. This AD requires compliance within 50 hours time-
in-service.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No. AS365-
11.00.02, Revision 2, dated April 23, 2015 (ASB). The service
information describes procedures for replacing and installing cabin
internal evacuation markings. The ASB reports that deviations in the
locations of the cabin internal evacuation markings and missing
markings were noted during the delivery of new helicopters. The ASB
provides instructions about the locations of, characteristics of, and
information contained in the markings.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 15 helicopters of U.S. Registry
and that labor costs average $85 a work-hour. Based on these estimates,
we expect that inspecting the helicopter to determine the proper
location and presence of cabin door jettison procedure placards and
replacing and installing them requires 4 work-hours and that parts cost
$70. We estimate a total cost of $410 per helicopter, and $6,150 for
the U.S. fleet.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on helicopters identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
