18、ODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements apply to the design and construction of draft equipment intended to assist in maintaining the desired combustion chamber draft in heating appliances. Draft equipment classications include draft regulators, automatic damper controls, and draft fans for inducing

19、 draft. 1.2 Draft regulators are intended for installation in the breeching or ue pipe of heating appliances where a constant draft is desired, but function to regulate draft only when the draft in the chimney is greater than the draft for which the automatic damper is adjusted. 1.3 Draft regulators

20、 intended for use with liquid, combination gas-liquid, or solid fuel-burning equipment, which provide means for the relief of positive pressures in the ue pipe into the adjoining space, provide arrangements for the installer to interlock the assembly with automatic fuel-burning equipment in a manner

21、 which will prevent the continued operation of the fuel-burning equipment for more than a brief period of time under conditions of sustained positive draft. 1.4 Draft regulators which provide means for the relief of positive pressures in the ue pipe into the adjoining space and which do not provide

22、means for interlock as described above are intended for use only with commercial-industrial gas-burning equipment not ordinarily equipped with a draft hood. 1.5 Automatic damper controls are designed to automatically regulate the position of dampers installed in the ue pipe or combustion air intake

23、of heating appliances to regulate available draft or combustion air supply to desired values. 1.6 Draft fans are intended for installation in the ue pipe or breeching adjacent to heating appliances or to chimneys to induce or create a draft to supplement the natural draft created by the chimney. Fan

24、 units may include automatic dampers or automatic damper controls. 1.7 Requirements for the installation and use of draft equipment are included in the Standards of the National Fire Protection Association for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA No. 31, and for the National Fuel Gas Code

25、, NFPA No. 54. 1.8 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those in use when the standard was developed, and that involves a risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons, shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional compon

26、ent and end-product requirements as determined necessary to maintain the level of safety for the user of the product as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard.

27、THOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 2 Components 2.1 Components of draft equipment, such as manual or electrically operated valves, etc, electrical components and materials such as attachment plugs, industrial control equipment, switches, transformers, wires, etc., shall comply with the requirements for such c

28、omponents, except that such requirements may be modied if appropriate for the particular application. CONSTRUCTION 3 General 3.1 A draft regulator intended for use with liquid, combination gas-liquid, or solid fuel-burning appliances, shall provide means for the relief of positive pressures in the u

29、e pipe into the adjoining space, shall be equipped with a switch or other interlocking arrangement which can be practically employed by the installer to prevent continued operation of the fuel-burning equipment under conditions of sustained positive draft in excess of 0.02 inch water column. Such sw

30、itch or interlocking arrangement shall function to stop the fuel-burning equipment under the above condition in not less than 5 seconds and not more than 10 seconds under situations providing normal ambient room temperatures and normal voltages impressed on any electrical parts. The arrangement shal

31、l function in not less than 3 seconds and not more than 15 seconds when voltages of 110 percent and 85 percent of normal are impressed on electrical parts and when ambient temperatures are maintained at 57.5C (135F), simultaneously. 3.2 A draft regulator intended for use with liquid, combination gas

32、-liquid, or solid fuel-burning equipment and not provided with means for interlock as described in 3.1, shall substantially prevent the relief of ue gases from the ue pipe when under positive pressure into an adjoining space. 3.3 A draft regulator providing means for the relief of positive pressures

33、 in the ue pipe into the adjoining space and not equipped with a switch or other interlocking arrangement as described in 3.1 and 3.2 shall be for use only with gas-red commercial-industrial fuel-burning equipment and be so marked on its assembly. 3.4 Automatic damper controls intended to regulate t

34、he position of dampers installed in the ue pipe shall provide adjustable means for connection to such dampers. 3.5 An automatic damper control shall be designed to maintain a safe damper opening at all times and be arranged to prevent starting of the heating equipment until such damper is opened to

35、a safe position. 3.6 Interlocks provided for compliance with 3.1 and 3.5 shall be considered as a safety control.

36、embly shall include all the components necessary for its normal function. 4.2 The construction of draft equipment shall be such that parts can be readily reassembled in a proper manner after being dismantled to the extent needed for normal care. 4.3 The assembly of a diaphragm-operated mechanism sha

37、ll be such that positive motion of the mechanism will follow as a result of diaphragm movements. 4.4 All metal parts of a diaphragm-type mechanism coming in contact with the diaphragm shall have no sharp edges, burrs, projections, etc., which might chafe or abrade the diaphragm. 4.5 Convenient means

38、 shall be provided for the purpose of making any necessary eld adjustment. 4.6 Screws or bolts used to attach parts which are detached for normal care or servicing of the equipment shall be capable of holding, upon the application of the torques indicated in Table 4.1 after removal and replacement.

46、ent are bonded adequately to the means for connecting the metal-clad cable or conduit of the supply circuit. An insulated conductor provided for such purpose shall show a green color with or without one or more yellow stripes. 8.4 Attachment plugs or separable connectors shall not be used in circuit

47、s if the breaking or making of the circuit by such devices may allow unsafe operation of the system served by the draft equipment. 8.5 All electrical circuits of each assembly to which connections are to be made in the eld shall terminate at suitable boxes or enclosures in which connections to the c

48、ircuit can be made. The boxes and enclosures shall permit the proper connection of metal-clad cable or conduit.
