Grocery Store Measures Door Gasket Laboratory Testing
Agenda • BPA Recommendations • Gasket Damage, Door Open Times & Gasket Cost Data • Emerson Lab Test Results • Next Steps
I. BPA Recommendations • Door Gaskets – Deemed Measure • Automatic Door Closer – Deemed Measure
Comparison of Savings (kWh/year/door) • Notes: • Assumes gasket length of 15' for Reach-In and 20' for Walk-In • Emerson Lab Testing: BPA sponsored Emerson study • SCE: So. Calif. Edison Work Papers WPSCNRRN0013 (10/2007) and WPSCNRRN0001, Revision 1 (10/2007)
II. Gasket Damage Basis for Lab Testing (Ref. Phase 1 Report, 2/2007). • Reach-in Low Temp: Very high level of damage near the handle. Typical tear is 6-12 inches • Reach-in Medium Temp: Typically at bottom of door. Typical tear is 6-12 inches. Ten to twenty percent of damaged gaskets prevent door closure. • Walk-in Low & Medium Temp: Typical tears are: • Two to three feet in length • Completely missing several feet of gasket • Similar to Swiss cheese in appearance • Hard, brittle and blocking door closure • The standard used for repair in the PNW is a minimum 6” double tear. A man’s fist should generally fit comfortably through the tear.
Door Open Times Methodology: Total of (38) cases monitored at (10) sites: 14 walk-ins & 24 reach-ins Field Installed, Hobo U-9-001 State Loggers, in place 1 to 4 weeks
Laboratory Testing – Interim Results • Completed Gasket and Auto Closer testing and report: • Low temperature reach-in • Low temperature walk-in • Medium temperature walk-in • Completed testing on strip curtains – report under review.
Next Steps • Finalize report on strip curtains • Conduct UA-testing on walk-in • Evaluate results with wider audience including peer review. Prepare technical paper. • Incorporate revised results into ESG, as appropriate
