14、neral6.1 The deep fat fryer used is to be a commercially available natural gas or propane fired deep fat fryer,at least 9 inches (229 mm) deep, and having a cooking surface area as specified in the manufacturersinstallation instructions. For a deep fat fryer with an integral drip board, or similar i

15、tem, the calculatedcooking area, along with the drip area, is to be as indicated in the manufacturers installation instructions.6.2 The length and width of the cooking area of the appliance being tested are to correspond to themaximum area coverage limitation specified in the installation instructio

16、ns.6.3 Multiple fryer protection for single discharge nozzle coverage is to be tested in accordance with themanufacturers installation instructions.6.4 A larger appliance shall not be protected with multiple nozzles.6.5 Each deep fat fryer test is to be conducted in an environment in which the ambie

17、nt temperature is notless than 50F (10C).MAY 6, 2004 SUBJECT 199E 57 Deep Fat Fryer Extinguishment Tests7.1 When tested in accordance with 7.2 7.11, a spray nozzle shall:a) Contain the flame to a lateral distance not greater than 18 inches (457 mm) from any edgeof the protected area of the deep fat

18、fryer during discharge of the water, during the first 5seconds of discharge. For a deep fat fryer with an integral drip board, or similar item, the lateraldistance is to be measured from the protected area or drip board as appropriate. Videotapingthe appliance from the front and side is an acceptabl

19、e method to determine compliance withthis requirement.Exception: Flames extending at a lateral distance not greater than 36 inches (914 mm) from anyedge of the fryer are acceptable provided that they do not exist for more than 1 second.b) Control the fire after the initial 5 seconds of discharge by

20、exhibiting a steady or decreasingflame intensity and limiting flame extension beyond the nozzle discharge pattern for not morethan 1 second.c) Result in no splashing of burning grease due to the system operation, as evidenced by thepresence of burning droplets of grease dispersed outside the fryer.d

21、) Result in the flame in the appliance to be completely extinguished within 15 minutes.e) Not permit re-ignition of the grease for 20 minutes or until the temperature of the greasedecreases at least 60F (16C) below its observed auto ignition temperature, whichever islonger.7.2 Each nozzle is to be t

22、ested using both the minimum and maximum discharge pressures. Thepressure is to be measured at the inlet of the spray nozzle.7.3 Tests are to be conducted at both the maximum and minimum nozzle heights, with the nozzlepositioned in the most difficult locations and orientations allowed by the install

23、ation instructions withrespect to complying with the fire extinguishment requirements. A steel hood at least 4 feet (1.2 m) deepshall be installed 42 3 inches (107 7.6 cm) above the fryer.7.4 Prior to the conduct of each extinguishment test, the appliance is to be cleaned and provided withnew grease

24、.7.5 All deep fat fryers tested in accordance with 7.7 7.11 shall demonstrate an average cooling rate ofnot more than 5F (2.8C) per minute. The liquid grease in an uncovered fryer is to be heated at the fryersmaximum energy input. When the temperature of the liquid grease reaches 600F (316C) the fry

25、ersenergy source is to be immediately shut off and the cooling rate of the liquid grease (F per minute) is tobe measured (when the temperature of the grease returns to 600F (316C) between the temperatures of600 and 500F (316 and 260C). The fryer is to be tested with an ambient temperature of 70 10F

26、(215C) throughout the duration of the test. The thermocouple monitoring the liquid grease temperature isto be installed as indicated in 7.8.MAY 6, 2004SUBJECT 199E67.6 Multiple vat and split vat deep fat fryers are to be separately tested with the discharge nozzlepositioned in the most difficult loc

27、ation and orientation allowed by the manufacturers installation manual.7.7 Split vat fryers are to be tested wherein a vat(s) adjacent to the vat to be spontaneously ignited isfilled with liquid grease and heated to 350 375F (177 191C). The grease level for the adjacent vat(s)is to be at the bottom

28、of the drip board, and not greater than 3 inches (76.2 mm) below the top of the vatwhen the grease temperature is between 350 375F (177 191C). Energy shutoff for all vats is to occurwhen the system is actuated.7.8 The liquid grease is to have an auto ignition temperature not less than 685F (363C) wh

29、en testedwith deep fat fryers specified in 6.1. An auto ignition temperature shall not be less than 675F (357C)when the 2 minute free burn commences at an oil temperature of 685F (363C). When the test vat of thefryer includes an integral drip board, the vat is to be filled so that the grease level i

30、s at the top of the dripboard when the grease temperature is between 550 600F (288 316C). In no case shall the greaselevel for any type of fryer be more than 3 inches (76.2 mm) below the top of the vat when the greasetemperature is between 550 600F (288 316C).7.9 The grease temperature during testin

31、g is to be measured with a thermocouple located 1 inch (25.4mm) below the grease surface. The thermocouple is to be located not closer than 3 inches (76.2 mm) tothe fryers sidewall.7.10 The liquid grease in the uncovered fryer is to be heated at the fryers maximum energy input and ata rate not less

32、than 12F (7.2C) temperature rise per minute as measured when the grease temperatureis between 500 and 600F (260 and 316C). The grease is then continually heated using the same energyinput until auto ignition occurs. After auto ignition of the liquid grease, the fire is to burn freely with thefryers

33、heating source remaining on for a period of not less than 2 minutes. After the free burn period ofnot less than two minutes, the heating source is to be shut off and the system is to be manuallydischarged.7.11 The water spray nozzle shall comply with the requirements in 7.1.8 Deep Fat Fryer Cooking

34、Temperature Splash Test8.1 When tested as described in 8.2 8.8, a spray nozzle shall not splash grease droplets in excess of3/16 inch (4.76 mm) diameter due to the system operation.8.2 The deep fat fryer used for this test is to be as specified in 6.1 and 7.5.8.3 Each nozzle is to be tested using th

35、e maximum discharge pressure. The pressure is to be measuredat the inlet of the spray nozzle.8.4 The tests are to be conducted at the minimum nozzle height, with the nozzle positioned in the mostdifficult locations and orientations allowed by the installation instructions with respect to complying w

36、ith thesplash requirements.8.5 The fryer is to be filled with liquid grease until the grease level is 3 inches (76.2 mm) below the topedge of the fryer. The grease level is to be measured when the grease temperature is between 350 375F (177 191C).MAY 6, 2004 SUBJECT 199E 78.6 The grease temperature

37、during testing is to be measured with a thermocouple as indicated in 7.9.8.7 A flat metallic surface at least 30 inches (762 mm) wide having not more than a 1/16 inch (1.6 mm)deep layer of sodium bicarbonate dry chemical, sand, or other appropriate material, placed on top of thesurface is to be prep

38、ared around the front and sides of the fryer to detect splashing grease. The liquidgrease in the fryer is to be heated by its heating source until a grease temperature of 350 375F (177 191C) is achieved. The spray nozzle is then to be discharged for35seconds.8.8 The discharge effects are to be observed to determine compliance with the requirements in 8.1.MAY 6, 2004SUBJECT 199E8
