and Correct Answers
Air Heater. - -. An indirect-fired appliance intended to supply heated air
for space heating and other purposes, but not intended for permanent
installation.
-Air pressure switch . - -An electrical switch designed to prove that the
proper draft has been established by the power venter or burner and
allows the burner to operate. If the power venter or burner is not
performing so as to satisfy the operating requirements of the equipment
for safe performance, the switch will de-energize the burner control
circuit preventing the burner from operating.
-Anti-flooding Device - -. A primary safety control that causes the flow
of fuel to be shut off upon a rise in fuel level or upon receiving excess
fuel, and which operates before the hazardous discharge of fuel can
occur
-Appliances; industrial - -(a) Low-Heat Industrial Appliance. An industrial
appliance such as a commercial cooking range, pressing machine boiler
at any pressure, bake oven, candy furnace, stereotype furnace, drying
and curing appliance, and other process appliances in which materials
are heated or melted at temperatures (excluding flue-gas temperatures)
not exceeding 600°F (316°C).
Appliances otherwise classed as medium-heat appliances may be
considered as low-heat appliances if not larger than 100 cubic feet (2.8
m 3 ) in size excluding any burner equipment and blower compartment
-(b) Medium-Heat Industrial Appliance - -(b) An industrial appliance
such as an annealing furnace (glass or metal), charcoal furnace,
galvanizing furnace, gas producer, commercial or industrial incinerator,
and steam boiler operating at over 50 psig (345 kPa) pressure when
such appliance is larger than 100 cubic feet (2.8 m 3 ) in size, and other
furnaces classified as medium-heat appliances in accordance with
recognized good practice
-c) High-Heat Industrial Appliance. - -c. An industrial appliance such as
billet and bloom furnace, blast furnace, brass melter, cupola, glass
furnace, open-hearth furnace, and ceramic kiln and vitreous enamelizing
oven (ferrous metals) when such appliances are larger than 100 cubic
feet (2.8 m 3 ) in size, and other furnaces classified as high-heat
appliances in accordance with recognized good practice
, -Application Permit/Certificate of Completion. - -A standard form issued
for use in all jurisdictions
throughout the Commonwealth
-Approved - -. Unless otherwise indicated, listed or approved by a
nationally recognized testing
laboratory
-Authority Having Jurisdiction. - -. The state fire marshal or his designee
-Boiler. - -. A closed vessel in which water is heated, steam is
generated, steam is superheated, or any combination thereof, by the
application of heat from combustible fuels in a self-contained or
attached furnace.
-Boiler, High Pressure). - -. A boiler for generating steam at pressures in
excess of 15 psi (103 kPa), or for heating water to a temperature in
excess of 250°F (121°C) or at a pressure in excess of 160 psi (1103
kPa).
-Boiler, Hot Water Supply. - -A low-pressure hot water boiler having a
volume exceeding 120 gallons (454 L), or a heat input exceeding
200,000 Btu per hour (58.6 kw) or an operating temperature exceeding
200°F (93°C) that provides hot water to be used externally to itself.
-Boiler, Low Pressure - -A boiler for generating steam at pressures not
in excess of 15 psig (103 kPa) or for furnishing water at a temperature
not in excess of 250°F (121°C) at pressures not in excess of 160 psig
(1103 kPa).
-Burner, Automatically Ignited - -A burner equipped so that main burner
fuel may be turned on and
ignited automatically
-Burner, Manually Ignited. - -. A burner equipped so that main burner
fuel is turned on only by hand and ignited under supervision.
-Burner, Mechanical Draft Type. - -A burner that includes a power-
driven fan, blower, or other mechanism as the primary means for
supplying the air for combustion.
-Burner, Natural Draft Type. - -A burner that depends primarily upon the
natural draft created in the chimney or venting system to induce the air
required for combustion into the burner.
-Central Heating Appliance. - -stationary heating appliance comprising
the following classifications: boilers, central furnaces, floor furnaces, and
