Preface This is the second edition of CSA B140.7, Oil-burning equipment: Steam and hot-water boilers. This edition combines and replaces CSA B140.7.1-1976, Oil-Fired Steam and Hot-Water Boilers for Residential Use, and CSA B140.7.2-1967, Oil-Fired Steam and Hot-Water Boilers for Commercial and Industrial Use. CSA B140.7.1 and B140.7.2, along with CSA B140.12, Service Water Heaters for Domestic Hot Water, Space Heating, and Swimming Pools, replaced the first edition of CSA B140.7, Oil-Fired Steam and Hot-Water Boilers and Service Water Heaters, published in 1962. CSA B140.7 is one of a series of oil-burning equipment standards providing minimum requirements for the safe operation and the acceptable performance, design, construction, manufacture, marking, and testing of oil-burning equipment. It should be read in conjunction with CSA B140.0, General Requirements for Oil-Burning Equipment. In addition to the changes resulting from combining CSA B140.7.1 and B140.7.2, there are minor changes throughout the new edition and some new requirements for marking and installation instructions. This Standard was prepared by the Subcommittee on Steam and Hot-Water Boilers, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on Oil-Burning Appliance Standards and the Strategic Steering Committee on Fire Safety and Fuel-Burning Equipment, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. It will be submitted to the Standards Council of Canada for approval as a National Standard of Canada. March 2005 Notes: (1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows. (2) Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. (3) This publication was developed by consensus, which is defined by CSA Policy governing standardization — Code of good practice for standardization as “substantial agreement. Consensus implies much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity”. It is consistent with this definition that a member may be included in the Technical Committee list and yet not be in full agreement with all clauses of this publication. (4) CSA Standards are subject to periodic review, and suggestions for their improvement will be referred to the appropriate committee. (5) All enquiries regarding this Standard, including requests for interpretation, should be addressed to Canadian Standards Association, 5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 5N6. Requests for interpretation should (a) define the problem, making reference to the specific clause, and, where appropriate, include an illustrative sketch; (b) provide an explanation of circumstances surrounding the actual field condition; and (c) be phrased where possible to permit a specific “yes” or “no” answer. Committee interpretations are processed in accordance with the CSA Directives and guidelines governing standardization and are published in CSA’s periodical Info Update, which is available on the CSA Web site at www.csa.ca.

Oil-burning equipment: Steam and hot-water boilers

Foreword The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) develops standards under the name Canadian Standards Association, and provides certification and testing under the name CSA International. CSA International provides certification services for manufacturers who, under license from CSA, wish to use the appropriate registered CSA Marks on certain products of their manufacture to indicate conformity with CSA Standards. CSA Certification for a number of products is provided in the interest of maintaining agreed-upon standards of quality, performance, interchangeability and/or safety, as appropriate. Where applicable, certification may form the basis for acceptance by inspection authorities responsible for enforcement of regulations. Where feasible, programs will be developed for additional products for which certification is desired by producers, consumers, or other interests. In performing its functions in accordance with its objectives, CSA does not assume or undertake to discharge any responsibility of the manufacturer or any other party. The opinions and findings of the Association represent its professional judgement given with due consideration to the necessary limitations of practical operation and state of the art at the time the Standard is processed. Products in substantial accord with this Standard but which exhibit a minor difference or a new feature may be deemed to meet the Standard providing the feature or difference is found acceptable utilizing appropriate CSA International Operating Procedures. Products that comply with this Standard shall not be certified if they are found to have additional features which are inconsistent with the intent of this Standard. Products shall not be certifiable if they are discovered to contravene applicable laws or regulations. Testing techniques, test procedures, and instrumentation frequently must be prescribed by CSA International in addition to the technical requirements contained in Standards of CSA. In addition to markings specified in the Standard, CSA International may require special cautions, markings, and instructions that are not specified by the Standard. Some tests required by CSA Standards may be inherently hazardous. The Association neither assumes nor accepts any responsibility for any injury or damage that may occur during or as the result of tests, wherever performed, whether performed in whole or in part by the manufacturer or the Association, and whether or not any equipment, facility, or personnel for or in connection with the test is furnished by the manufacturer or the Association. Manufacturers should note that, in the event of the failure of CSA International to resolve an issue arising from the interpretation of requirements, there is an appeal procedure: the complainant should submit the matter, in writing, to the Secretary of the Canadian Standards Association. If this Standard is to be used in obtaining CSA Certification please remember, when making application for certification, to request all current Amendments, Bulletins, Notices, and Technical Information Letters that may be applicable and for which there may be a nominal charge. For such information or for further information concerning CSA Certification, please address your inquiry to Applications and Customer Service, CSA International, 178 Rexdale Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M9W 1R3.

SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) J1015-1995 Ton Kilometer Per Hour Test Procedure

2.2 Definitions The following definitions apply in this Standard: Note: See CSA B139 and CSA B140.0 for the definition of many of the terms used in this Standard.

Act — the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Act of the applicable province or territory. Boiler — a heating appliance intended to supply hot water or steam for space heating, processing, or power purposes. High-pressure boiler — any boiler other than a low-pressure boiler. Low-pressure boiler — a boiler in which (a) gas or vapour is generated and that is intended to be operated or is operated at a gas or vapour pressure of not more than 103 kPa (15 psi); or (b) a liquid is heated but no gas or vapour is generated and that is intended to be operated or is operated at a liquid pressure of not more than 1100 kPa (160 psi) and in which the liquid at the outlet does not exceed 120 ºC (250ºF). Closed-type hot-water heating system — a system in which water is heated and circulated and that is not vented to the atmosphere. Factory-assembled — completely put together in the factory. Fitting — any safety valve, stop valve, automatic stop and check valve, blow-down valve, reducing valve, water gauge, gauge cock, pressure gauge, injector, test cock, fusible plug, regulating and controlling device, or pipe fitting attached to or used in connection with any boiler, pressure vessel, or plant. Heating surface — the “fire side” (the side exposed to products of combustion) of any surface of any part of the boiler through which heat is conveyed to the water in the boiler. Maximum allowable pressure — the maximum pressure at which the boiler is permitted to be operated as specified by the authority having jurisdiction. Relief valve — an automatic, self-closing, pressure-relieving device actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valve, that opens in proportion to the increase in pressure over the opening pressure. It is used primarily for liquid service. Safety relief valve — an automatic, self-closing, pressure-actuated relieving device suitable for use as either a safety or relief valve, depending on application. Safety valve — an automatic, self-closing, pressure-relieving device actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valve and characterized by rapid full opening or pop action. It is used for gas or vapour service. Thermostat — a control, actuated by change in temperature, that functions to turn on or shut off the unit, as required, to maintain the temperature, in the space or medium to be heated, at the desired value. Unit — a steam boiler, a hot-water boiler, or a steam and hot-water boiler assembly that is in accordance with the description given in Clause 1.1.

HO =

(HI ) ⎡⎣100 − (LF 100

+ LC )⎤⎦

−A

where HO = heat output, kW (Btu/h) Hl = heat input, kW (Btu/h) LF = flue-gas loss, expressed as a percentage of input LC = casing loss, expressed as a percentage of input A = heat used in auxiliary equipment*, kW (Btu/h) *Auxiliary equipment includes fuel heaters, feed pumps, etc., necessary for operation of the unit.

The piping shall be insulated from the boiler to 0.3 m (1 ft) beyond the tee.

7.4.2.3 The water temperature or steam pressure at which the safety limit control functions shall be determined by the following procedure. The flow through the unit shall be restricted by gradually closing the control valve on the outlet. For steam boilers, the correct water level shall be maintained. The unit shall be operated until the limit control functions to shut off or reduce the fuel input.

7.4.2.4 Without adjusting the outlet control valve or the inlet control valve (except when necessary to maintain the correct water level in a steam boiler), the unit shall be allowed to cool until the safety limit control functions to open or increase the fuel supply. The water temperature or steam pressure shall then be noted. The unit shall then be operated until the safety limit control again functions to reduce or shut off the fuel supply. The water temperature or steam pressure shall again be taken, and if it is the same as the previous reading, this reading will be the water temperature or steam pressure at which the safety limit control functions. If the reading is not the same as the previous reading, the unit shall be allowed to cycle on the safety limit control until two successive readings are the same.

7.5 Safety low-water cut-off control performance 7.5.1 Test requirements 7.5.1.1 The safety low-water cut-off shall function to shut off the burner before the water level drops to a level where there will be a danger of overheating any part of the boiler.
