General Considerations - Standards

■ Requirements for US and Canadian markets on gas systems are different in requirements and

applicability NB-370 https://www.nationalboard.org/ViewAllSynopses.aspx

■ Standards revised every 4-5 years

■ Not all components can or need to be approved – A Fully FM / UL / CSA gas system is most likely not

possible… “Labeled and Listed”

■ Alternative allowed constructions are common (e.g. VPS vs POC, Over-Pressure Protection solutions,…)

Main Standards - OEM Equipment

OEM Equipment Certifications / Listings

■ If an applicable standard exists, OEM’s need to get their standard products


certified/Listed through a Nationally Registered Testing Laboratory will make the
certification to the standard
• E.g. “UL 795 - Commercial-Industrial Gas Heating Equipment” used for
coffee roasters or commercial furnaces or commercial boilers– Commercial-
Industrial Gas Heating Equipment:
• E.g. “ANSI Z21.13/CSA 4.9, Standard for Gas-Fired Low Pressure Steam
and Hot Water Boilers” used for boilers typically under 5,000,000 Btu/hr

■ Or specific standards including gas trains’ designs can be used


• E.g. “ANSI Z83.4-2017/CSA 3.7-2017 - Non-recirculating direct gas-fired
heating and forced ventilation appliances for commercial and industrial
application”

■ Those standards have usually less demanding requirements on the gas system
than applicable NFPA standards

less than 12,500,000 Btu/hr (3.7 MW) that conform with ASME CSD-1, Controls and Safety Devices for
Automatically Fired Boilers, or with UL 795, Standard for Commercial-Industrial Gas Heating Equipment.

Chapter 8 is the heating system safety equipment and application. Several items are not covered by CSD-1
including PLC/Safety PLC’s, software, stack excess temperature, and fluid excess temperature.

Take-Aways:

 ASME CSD-1 service limitations are for automatically fired boilers (steam
and water) and burner assemblies and burners field-installed is
automatically fired boilers.

 By definition a thermal fluid heater is not a boiler and as such is not


covered by ASME CSD-1

CSD-1 Appendix: 12-1579 CF-1000 VFD Definitions
Atomizing Air Compressor: an air compressor that supplies air to the oil nozzle for the atomizing medium.

Combustion Control System: those control systems that includes the ability to provide safety shutdown and the Fuel-Air-Ratio
control system

Direct Coupled Fan/Blower: the fan or blower is mounted to the motor shaft and mechanically secured.

Fuel-Air-Ratio Control System: a system that manages the flow of combustion air, fuel and other support systems to support
modulating firing rates.

Independent Feedback Signal: a signal indicating the speed of the fan or blower, that can be read by the combustion control
system and used to compare actual fan or blower speed to the required fan or blower speed.

Ratio-Regulator Control: a fuel control valve that modulates the fuel flow as a ratio of the combustion air flow.

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD): a control that can vary the speed of an electric motor. This is intended to include all forms of
motor speed control, including Variable Speed Drives (VSD), Pulse Width Modulated (PWM), Electronically Commutated (EC) or
Brushless DC (BLDC) or any other type of motor speed control.

Directed Fan or Blower Speed Signal: a signal developed by the Fuel-Air-Ratio control system to regulate fan or blower speed as
part of the combustion air flow requirements.

CSD-1 Appendix: Other Definitions Added
boiler, hot-water: a hot-water heating boiler, hot water supply boiler, or high-temperature water boiler.
(a) boiler, hot-water heating: a boiler in which no steam is generated and from which hot water is circulated for heating
purposes, then returned to the boiler operating at a pressure less than or equal to 160 psig (1 100 kPa gage) or a
temperature less than or equal to 250°F (120°C) at or near the boiler outlet.
(b) boiler, hot-water supply: a boiler that furnishes hot water to be used externally to itself at a pressure less than or equal to
160 psig (1 100 kPa gage) or a temperature less than or equal to 250°F (120°C) at or near the boiler outlet.
(c) boiler, high-temperature water: a water boiler intended for operation at pressures in excess of 160 psig (1 100 kPa)
and/or a temperatures in excess of 250°F (120°C).

fuel train; a series of valves, regulators, and controls, between the burner and the source of fuel, all fuel piping, tubing,
fittings, valves, devices, and components, that regulates and controls the flow of fuel , that from the inlet of the manually
operated shutoff valve, which isolates all main fuel line controls from the fuel supply, to the burner.

Safety Device: Any device that acts, or initiates action, to cause the boiler to remain in, or revert to, a safe state.
