35、uipmentfor drying farm crops1 Scope1.1This Standard applies to newly produced direct gas-fired crop dryers of the recirculating or nonrecirculating type hereinafter referred to as “dryers”, whose primary purpose is to provide processheating to dry farm crops. These dryers are used in non-occupiedspa
36、ces and are constructed of non-combustible materials having input ratings of 12,500,000Btu/hr (3 663 389 W) or less, constructedentirely of new unused parts and materials.This Standard refers to equipment in which heated air is used to reduce the moisture content of farmcrops.The installation is to
37、conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with theNatural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, and the Propane Storage and Handling Code,CSA B149.2.This Standard is intended to cover complete dryers with integral air moving components, i.e., thosewhich are d
38、esigned by, catalogued by, and built on a repetitive basis by the manufacturer and those inwhich the dryer and air moving components are tested as an assembly and available for separate sale.1.2Dryers covered under this Standard are for use:a) with natural gas; andb) with propane in the liquid and v
39、apour phase.1.3This Standard applies to dryers intended for outdoor use only.1.4This Standard is limited to dryers that are equipped with forced draft burner(s), which relies oncombustion air supplied by a mechanical device such as a fan or blower.1.5The construction of dryers for use with the above
40、 mentioned gases is covered under Clause 4.1.6The performance of dryers for use with the above mentioned gases is covered under Clause 5.1.7If a value for measurement as given in this Standard is followed by an equivalent value in other units, thefirst stated value is to be regarded as the specifica
41、tion.CSA 3.8-2014Gas-fired equipment for drying farm cropsOctober 2014 2014 CSA Group 101.8All references to pressure throughout this Standard are to be considered “gauge” pressure, unlessotherwise specified.1.9This Standard contains SI (Metric) corresponding to the yard/pound quantities,the purpose
42、 being toallow the standard to be used in SI (Metric) units. (Standard for use of the International System of Units(SI): The Modern Metric System, IEEE/ASTM SI 10 or ISO 80000-1:2009Quantities and units Part 1:General are used as a guide in making metric conversion from yard/pound quantities.) If a
43、value for ameasurement and a corresponding value in other units are stated, the first stated value is to be regardedas the requirement. The given corresponding value may be approximate. If a value for a measurementand a corresponding value in other units are both specified as a quoted marking requir
