It was prepared by Subcommittee GSE/20/4,
9、 Air heaters (gas), under the authority of Technical Committee GSE/20, Non-domestic space heaters (gas). A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.SupersessionThis British Standard supersedes BS 5990:1990 (including Amendment 1:1990), which is
10、withdrawn.Relationship with other publicationsRequirements for appliances with rated heat inputs up to 300 kW based on the net calorific value are given in BS EN 525:1998.Corresponding requirements for indirect gas fired forced convection air heaters are specified in BS 5991.Electrical requirements,
11、 applicable for both direct and indirect gas-fired forced convection air heaters, are specified in BS 5986.Information about this documentThis new edition of BS 5990 incorporates changes made necessary by the publication of BS EN 525:1998. It does not represent a full review or revision of the stand
12、ard, which will be undertaken in due course.This edition has been prepared in order to fulfil the obligation to withdraw conflicting national standards. As a consequence, it no longer applies to appliances with rated heat inputs up to 330 kW based on the gross calorific (300 kW based on the net calo
13、rific value).Presentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Its requirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “shall”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type

Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligation
15、s. BSI 2006 1BS 5990:20061 ScopeThis British Standard gives detailed requirements, including safety and performance requirements and methods of test, for direct gas fired forced convection air heaters having heat inputs greater than 330 kW but not exceeding 2 MW, intended for industrial and commerci
16、al applications. Appliances covered by this standard are not intended for installation in domestic dwellings.The scope of this standard includes direct gas fired forced convection air heaters for use both with and without ducting, and intended primarily for space heating applications. It therefore i
17、ncludes air heaters designed to provide make-up air, door curtain heaters, spray booth heaters, portable air heaters and direct fired air heaters capable of providing full space heating.This standard specifies the requirements for direct gas fired forced convection air heaters designed for permanent
18、 outdoor installation. It also specifies the requirements for transportable direct gas fired forced convection air heaters.This standard applies to appliances designed to operate on normal low pressure district supplies of 2nd family gas.For appliances fitted with gas boosters, additional requiremen
19、ts may apply.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
