11、Part of BS5258 has been prepared under the direction of the Gas Standards Policy Committee to meet the need for a standard specifying the safety requirements and associated methods of test for combined gas-fired fanned-circulation ducted-air heaters and circulators burning1st,2nd and3rd family gases
12、. In common with other Parts of BS5258 currently being revised and prepared, this Part can be applied to all production appliances through a recognized scheme of quality assurance, whereas earlier Parts were written with type approval in mind. The intention is that all appliances manufactured in acc
13、ordance with this standard will be safe in normal use when installed and maintained in accordance with the relevant British Standard codes of practice and with the manufacturers instructions. Furthermore, it should be possible for such servicing as may be necessary to maintain the appliance in a saf
14、e condition to be carried out by a competent fitter without difficulty. This Part of BS5258 has been prepared for this type of combined appliance by taking into account the requirements of Parts1 and4 (see the list below), as appropriate, for the individual units, and adding those requirements relev
15、ant to the combined appliance. While the requirements and methods of test follow existing UK practice, they are in no way intended to prejudice any future negotiations of a European Standard. The codes of practice relevant to this Part of BS5258 are BS5440-1 and BS5440-2, BS5482-1, BS5482-2 and BS54
16、82-3, BS5546 and BS5864. Attention is drawn to the requirements of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations, the Model Water Byelaws and of the various Building Regulations. The following Parts of BS5258 are already published or are, as indicated by
17、an asterisk, in preparation: Part 1: Central heating boilers and circulators; Part 2: Cooking appliances; Part 4: Fanned-circulation ducted-air heaters; Part 5: Gas fires; Part 6: Refrigerators and food freezers; Part 7: Storage water heaters; Part 8: Combined appliances: gas fire/back boiler; Part

20、rom legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to36, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendm
21、ent table on the inside front cover.BS5258-9:1989 BSI 08-1999 1 Section 1. General 1 Scope This Part of BS5258 specifies safety requirements and describes associated methods of test for gas-fired combined appliances consisting of a fanned-circulation ducted-air heater together with a circulator. The
22、 combined appliance is usually of integral construction, the circulator being fitted inside the air heater casing. It also covers fanned-circulation ducted-air heaters which are designed to be fitted with circulators, as a purchasers option. This Part of this standard only applies to circulators int
23、ended for use as an integral part of the combined appliance. Circulators intended for independent use are covered by BS5258-1. It covers appliances in which the rated heat input of the air heater does not exceed60kW 1)and that of the circulator does not exceed8kW 1) . This Part of BS5258 is not appl
24、icable to: a) flueless appliances; b) type C appliances burning3rd family gas; c) appliances incorporating full sequence automatic control systems; d) appliances with premixed gas and air burners; e) appliances designed to make use of the latent heat of condensation of the water vapour in the combus
25、tion products. It does not include the special requirements for appliances for outdoor installation or for appliances with fan-powered combustion circuits or fan-assisted flues. In specifying requirements for appliances burning2nd family gases it is assumed that a meter governor will be fitted and f
26、or appliances burning3rd family gases it is assumed that the gas supply from the container will be governed by a pressure regulator complying with the requirements of BS3016. There are circumstances, particularly in regard to central heating, where means of control may be provided either on the heat
27、ing appliance or as part of the installation; where this option exists it is stated. Where the control forms part of the installation and its application conforms with established practice, no reference to the installation procedure is deemed necessary in this Part of BS5258. The requirements for co
28、ntrols relate to controls fitted as part of, or supplied with, particular appliances; they do not necessarily provide a complete specification for controls intended for general use. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For
29、 the purposes of this Part of BS5258 the definitions given in BS1179:1967, in BS1179-6 and in the relevant British Standard codes of practice apply, together with the following. 2.1 adjustment pressure the pressure, measured at the test point, that is required to obtain the rated heat input using th
30、e reference test gas 2.2 fan control a temperature activated control that causes the fan to operate when the minimum circulation air temperature is achieved and that stops the operation of the fan when the circulation air temperature is below this minimum 2.3 fanned-circulation ducted-air heater a d
