It was prepared by Subcommittee GSE/20/4, Air heaters (gas), under the authority of Technical Committee GSE/20, Non-domestic space heaters
10、 (gas). A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.SupersessionThis British Standard supersedes BS 5991:1989, which is withdrawn.Relationship with other publicationsRequirements for appliances with rated heat inputs up to 300 kW based on the net
11、 calorific value are given in BS EN 621:1998 and BS EN 1020:1998 as appropriate.Corresponding requirements for direct gas fired forced convection air heaters are specified in BS 5990.Electrical requirements, applicable for both direct and indirect gas fired forced convection air heaters, are specifi
12、ed in BS 5986.Information about this documentThis new edition of BS 5991 incorporates changes made necessary by the publication of BS EN 621:1998 and BS EN 1020:1998. It does not represent a full review or revision of the standard, which will be undertaken in due course.This edition has been prepare
13、d 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 value (300 kW based on the net calorific value).In anticipation of this standard being the subject of
14、third party certification schemes, it provides for a claim by the appliance manufacturer of a numerical value for the thermal efficiency of a product model. The test authority will then ascertain that a sample submitted for type approval meets this claimed value within a specified test equipment tol
15、erance. Any sample selected from subsequent production of the particular model will be expected to conform to a verification value that will also take into account a specified production tolerance.Presentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. I
16、ts 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, and does not constitute a normative element.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport
17、to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligations. BSI 2006 1BS 5991:20061 ScopeThis British Standard specifies detailed requirements, including safety and performa
18、nce requirements and methods of test, for indirect gas fired forced convection air heaters having heat inputs greater than 330 kW but not exceeding 2 MW, intended for industrial and commercial applications. Appliances covered by this standard are not intended for installation in domestic dwellings.T
19、he scope of this standard includes indirect gas fired forced convection air heaters for use both with and without ducting, and intended primarily for space heating applications.This standard also specifies the requirements for indirect gas fired forced convection air heaters designed for permanent o
20、utdoor installation.It applies to appliances designed to operate on normal low pressure district supplies of 2nd family gas.For appliances fitted with gas boosters and/or flue dampers, additional requirements may apply.This standard does not apply to portable and transportable indirect gas fired for
21、ced convection air heaters.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
