SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The maximum energy input rate test is used to confirm that the dishwasher is operating at the manufacturer's rated input prior to further testing. This test would also indicate any problems with the electric power supply, gas service pressure, or steam supply flow or pressure.
5.2 The tank and booster temperature are verified and water consumption is adjusted to NSF specifications to ensure that the test is applied to a properly functioning dishwasher.
5.3 Because much of a dishwasher's operating period is spent in the idle condition, tank heater and booster idle energy consumption rate is an important part of predicting an end user's energy consumption. The test is run with the door(s) open and with the door(s) closed, so that the energy use of both end-user behaviors can be characterized.
5.4 A washing energy test generates an energy per rack usage. This is useful both as a measure for comparing the energy performance of one dishwasher to another and as a predictor of an end users energy consumption.
5.5 Water-consumption characterization is useful for estimating water and sewage costs associated with dishwashing machine operation.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of the energy and water consumption of single-rack, door-type commercial dishwashers (hereafter referred to as dishwashers). Dishwashers may have a remote or self-contained booster heater. This test method does not address cleaning or sanitizing performance.
1.2 This test method is applicable to both hot water sanitizing and chemical sanitizing stationary rack machines, which includes undercounter single rack machines, upright door-type machines, pot, pan and utensil machines, fresh water rinse machines and fill-and-dump machines.

Machines designed to be interchangeable in the field from high temp and low temp (that is, Dual Sanitizing Machines) and vice versa, shall be tested at both settings. Machines should be set for factory settings. If a dishwasher includes a booster heater as an option, energy should be sub metered separately for the booster heater. When the test method specifies to use the data plate or manufacturer’s recommendations, instructions, specifications, or requirements, the information source shall be used in the following order of preference and documented in the test report: data plate, user manual, communication with manufacturer.
1.3 The following procedures are included in this test method:
1.3.1 Procedures to Confirm Dishwasher is Operating Properly Prior to Performance Testing:

5.3 The Preheat Test can be used to gauge the amount of time and energy required for the coffee brewer to reach a ready-to-brew state from the ambient room and incoming water temperatures.
5.4 Ready-to-Brew and Energy Save Mode energy can be used by end users to estimate the amount of energy consumed while coffee is not being brewed.

The test is run with the door(s) open and with the door(s) closed, so that the energy use of both end-user behaviors can be characterized.
5.4 A washing energy test generates an energy per rack usage. This is useful both as a measure for comparing the energy performance of one dishwasher to another and as a predictor of an end users energy consumption.

5.6 Water consumption characterization is useful for estimating water and sewage costs associated with combination oven operation.
5.7 Condensate temperature measurement is useful to verify that the condensate temperature does not violate applicable building codes.
5.8 Cooking uniformity provides information regarding the combination oven’s ability to cook food at the same rate throughout the oven compartment.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of the energy and water consumption and the cooking performance of combination ovens that can be operated in hot air convection, steam, and the combination of both hot air convection and steam modes. The test method is also applicable to convection ovens with moisture injection. The results of this test method can be used to evaluate a combination oven and understand its energy consumption.
1.2 This test method is applicable to gas and electric combination ovens that can be operated in convection, steam and combination modes.
1.3 The combination oven can be evaluated with respect to the following (where applicable):
1.3.1 Energy input rate and thermostat calibration (10.2).
1.3.2 Preheat energy consumption and time (10.3).
1.3.3 Idle energy rate in convection, steam and combination modes (10.4).
1.3.4 Pilot energy rate (if applicable) (10.5).
1.3.5 Cooking-energy efficiency, cooking energy rate, production capacity, water consumption and condensate temperature in steam mode (10.6).
1.3.6 Cooking-energy efficiency, cooking energy rate, and production capacity in convection mode (10.7).
1.3.7 Cooking uniformity in combination mode (10.8).
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The SI units given in parentheses are for information only.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The measured energy input rate test is used to confirm that the fryer under test is operating in accordance with its nameplate rating.
5.2 Fryer temperature calibration is used to ensure that the fryer being tested is operating at the specified temperature. Temperature calibration also can be used to evaluate and calibrate the thermostat control dial.
5.3 Preheat-energy consumption and time can be used by food service operators to manage their restaurants' energy demands, and to estimate the amount of time required for preheating a fryer.
5.4 Idle energy and pilot energy rates can be used by food service operators to manage their energy demands.
5.5 Preheat energy consumption, idle energy, and pilot energy can be used to estimate the energy consumption of an actual food service operation.
5.6 Cooking-energy efficiency is a direct measurement of fryer efficiency at different loading scenarios. This data can be used by food service operators in the selection of fryers, as well as for the management of a restaurant's energy demands.
5.7 Production capacity can be used as a measure of fryer capacity by food service operators to choose a fryer to match their particular food output requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of the energy consumption and cooking performance of open, deep fat fryers. The food service operator can use this evaluation to select a fryer and understand its energy efficiency and production capacity.
1.2 This test method is applicable to both counter and floor model gas and electric units with nominal frying medium capacity less than 60 lb (27 kg). For large vat fryers with a nominal frying medium capacity greater than 60 lb (27 kg), refer to Test Method F2144.
1.3 The fryer can be evaluated with respect to the following (where applicable):
1.3.1 Energy input rate (10.2),
1.3.2 Preheat energy and time (10.4),
1.3.3 Idle energy rate (10.5),
1.3.4 Pilot energy rate (10.6),
1.3.5 Cooking energy rate and efficiency (10.9), and
1.3.6 Production capacity and frying medium temperature recovery time (10.9).
1.4 This test method is not intended to answer all performance criteria in the evaluation and selection of a fryer, such as the significance of a high energy input design on maintenance of temperature within the cooking zone of the fryer.
1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
