This document specifies the safety requirements for combustion and fuel handling systems that are part of industrial furnaces and associated processing equipment (TPE), including single and multiple burner systems in thermoprocessing equipment and machines.
This document deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to combustion and fuel handling systems as listed in Annex A, when used as intended and under the conditions for use as described in the instruction handbook.
This document covers:
- fuel pipework downstream of and including the manual isolating valve;
- combustion air supply (including oxygen and oxygen enriched combustion air) and flue gas system;
- burner(s), burner system and ignition device;
- functional requirements for safety related control system.
This document applies to any oxidation of gaseous and liquid fuels with air or other gases containing free oxygen to release thermal energy in TPE.
