Size first. The DOE filings rate the E070 at 53 pints a day and the E080 at 65, in cases of 2.3 and 3.3 cubic feet. Efficiency differs too: 1.77 against 2.22 liters per kWh.
DOE database, export of Oct 5, 2026Why isn’t the E070 on the EPA list?
The EPA doesn’t publish reasons. What the filings show: the E070’s efficiency, 1.77 liters per kWh, is exactly the federal minimum for its class, which every unit sold must meet. The E080 files 2.22.
10 CFR 430.32(v), as of Jan 1, 2025 · DOE databaseWho sizes and installs them?
A contractor. The EPA’s buying guidance sends whole-house buyers to an installer, who sizes the unit for the home and connects it to the ducts.
