|
| Commercial |
An energy-consuming sector that consists of service-providing facilities and equipment
of nonmanufacturing businesses; Federal, State, and local governments; and other private
and public organizations, such as religious, social, or fraternal groups. The commercial
sector includes institutional living quarters. Common uses of energy associated with
this sector include space heating, water heating, air conditioning, lighting, refrigeration, cooking

| Distillate Fuel Oil |
A general classification for one of the petroleum fractions produced in conventional distillation
operations. It includes diesel fuels and fuel oils. Products known as No. 1, No. 2, and
No. 4 diesel fuel are used in on-highway diesel engines, such as those in trucks and automobiles,
as well as off-highway engines, such as those in railroad locomotives and agricultural machinery.
Products known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils are used primarily for space heating and
electric power generation.

equipment at these establishments is included,
whether or not it is directly associated with growing crops and/or raising animals.
Common types of energy-using equipment include tractors, irrigation pumps, crop dryers,
smudge pots, and milking machines. Facility energy use encompasses all structures at
the establishment, including the farm house.
|
| Industrial |
An energy-consuming sector that consists of all facilities and equipment used for
producing, processing, or assembling goods. The industrial sector encompasses the
following types of activity: manufacturing and mining. Overall energy use in this
sector is largely for process heat and cooling and powering machinery, with lesser
amounts used for facility heating, air conditioning, and lighting. Fossil fuels are
also used as raw material inputs to manufactured products.

Fahrenheit, that has a flash point higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit by ASTM
Method D 56, that has a gravity range between 40 to 46 degrees API, and that has a
burning point in the range of 150 degrees to 175 degrees Fahrenheit. Included are the
two classifications recognized by ASTM Specification D 3699: No. 1-K and No. 2-K,
and all grades of kerosene called range or stove oil which have properties similar
to No. 1 fuel oil, but with a gravity of about 43 degrees API and a maximum end-point
of 625 degrees Fahreneit. Kerosene is used in space heaters, cook stoves, and water
heaters and is suitable for use as an illuminant when burned in wick lamps.

No. 1 Fuel Oil: A light distillate fuel oil that has distillation temperatures of 400 degrees Fahrenheit
at the 10-percent recovery point and 550 degrees Fahrenheit at the 90-percent point and
meets the specifications defined in ASTM Specification D 396. It is used primarily as fuel
for portable outdoor stoves and portable outdoor heaters.
|
| No. 2 Diesel Fuel |
A fuel that has distillation temperatures of 500 degrees Fahrenheit at the 10-percent
recovery point and 640 degrees Fahrenheit at the 90-percent recovery point and meets the
specifications defined in ASTM Specification D 975. It is used in high-speed diesel engines
that are generally operated under uniform speed and load conditions,
such as those in railroad locomotives, trucks, and automobiles.
|
| No. 2 Diesel Fuel, High Sulfur |
No. 2 diesel fuel that has a sulfur level above 500 ppm.
|
| No. 2 Diesel Fuel, Low Sulfur |
No. 2 diesel fuel that has a sulfur level between 15 ppm and 500 ppm (inclusive).
It is used primarily in motor vehicle diesel engines for on-highway use.
|
| No. 2 Diesel Fuel, Ultra Low Sulfur |
No. 2 diesel fuel that has a sulfur level no higher than 15 ppm. It is used
primarily in motor vehicle diesel engines for on-highway use.
|
| No. 2 Distillate |
