FDNY COF P-98
1.- Where commonly Fuel-oil is utilized in homes?
What functions?
Is utilized in Stationary Equipment
Two functions:
a) Fuel Emergency Generators
b) Fuel Equipment used to warmness the building
2.- What COF is needed to oversee the Fuel-oil switch within the building from one floor to every
other?
- P-ninety eight and keep all qualifications and comply w/ necessities relevant to such
certificates holder
- The P-98 COF is premise-related
three.- The use of the phrase ought to refers to:
Policies, strategies and/or first-rate practices encouraged through the FDNY, and may not be a
codified requirement.
4.- The use of the phrase shall refers to:
Requirement of the Fire Code or the FDNY
five.- Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation
,Shall be beneath the GENERAL SUPERVISION of P-98:
A desk bound gasoline-oil garage tank, associated piping, this is established on the bottom
ground of the building and transfer gasoline-oil thru piping to any other stationary fuel-oil garage
tank, or gas burning device, established above such ground
7.- Maintenance Requirements
Fuel-oil storage tanks and piping will be inspected for any proof of leaks
Weekly
6.- Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation Shall be underneath the PERSONAL
SUPERVISION of P-98 COF
Periodic Inspection and Testing of tanks and piping
eight.- Maintenance Requirements
Fuel-oil garage tanks shall have their drift switches examined to make sure that they are in
appropriate working order as a minimum
Weekly
nine.- Licences & Certificates
No oil burning equipment may additionally operated until
a) Certificate of Compliance has been issued by means of NYCDOB
b) Air pollutants control code requirements NYCDEP
c) Permit for the Storage & use of gasoline-oil issued by FDNY
,10.- Licences & Certificates
Pursuant to the New NYC Fire Code & Mechanical Codes said that
The COF is needed for all existing and new homes in which gasoline is being transported from
the lowest levels to tanks or device on top flooring
11.- Oil Circulation within the System
Diagram #1
The method of oil movement from the tank at the bottom floor of a building to the burner on the
floor above such ground thru the pump.
12.- Oil Circulation inside the System
Oil garage tank
Provides the supply of oil for combustion within the oil burner. It is inside a dike. In case of a
leak the diked place will incorporate the oil. In its everyday condition, #2 fuel-oil is skinny and
mild and is effortlessly pumped thru the stream system
13.- Oil Circulation in the System
A Suction pump
Circulates the oil all through the system. Dirt and sediment are gift inside the gas-oil coming
from the oil garage tank. The oil filter eliminates most of those contaminants from the oil before
the oil reaches the burner's strainer.
14.- Oil Circulation in the System
The Suction Line
Has to be 6 inches from the bottom of the tank for sediments no longer to be absorbed. The
vacuum gauge is a device that measures stress under atmospheric strain. Excessive vacuum
readings indicate that there may be an obstruction within the suction line (including grimy oil
, strainer). When this occurs the flow of oil can be stopped by last the shut-off valve. This permits
the operator to smooth the filter/strainer or to carry out other maintenance
15.- Oil Circulation in the System
Main Fuel Valve
Electrically operated and could open or near the line leading to the atomizer only for oil burners.
It will close down the burner device if there may be a failure of ignition or combustion.
16.- Oil Circulation in the System
A Back Pressure Relief Valve
Oil circulates thru the piping device again to the garage tank thru the oil go back line. A back
pressure comfort valve is supplied for safety if the stress becomes too amazing. Day tanks may
be located in the course of the constructing above the bottom ground
17.- Oil Circulation inside the System
A Separate Pump
Required for each day tank to deliver each ground. In case of a leak within the piping, leak
collector is supplied. Leak collector is stored by way of the garage tank. It has a oil level gauge
which shows the quantity gathered
18.- Oil Circulation inside the System
Level Gauge
A gauge will show how much fuel oil is internal a prime garage tank/day tank.
