Additional Resources
Complete this form for each LLHE specification sheet verification request and submit by also completing this online form. A copy of the output sheet from the manufacturer’s Selection Rating Software must be submitted in conjunction with this form. All fields must be completed prior to submission. AHRI does not verify the mechanical attributes of a specification sheet; only the thermal performance is verified. Thermal performance includes Inlet Temperatures, Outlet Temperatures, Flow Rates, Pressure Drops, Heat Load, Heat Transfer Area, Density, Specific Heat Capacity, Thermal Conductivity, Viscosity, Heat Transfer Coefficient, L.M.T.D., and Channel Arrangements.
Please allow ten (10) business days for AHRI to conduct verification and respond to your request.
