* Clearance All objects should be so located that adequate space is provided for the proper operation, inspection, and necessary maintenance and repair of the boiler and its controls. Exit From Rooms Containing Objects Rooms exceeding 500 square feet of floor area and containing one or more boilers having a fuel-burning capacity of 1 million Btu’s should have two means of exit remotely located from each other on each level. Air and Ventilation A permanent source of outside air should be provided for each room to permit satisfactory combustion of fuel and ventilation if necessary under normal operations. The minimum ventilation for coal, gas, or oil burners in rooms containing objects is based on the Btu’s per hour, required air, and louvered area. * 1 * 2 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 5 * 6 * 7 * 8 * 12 * 14 * * * * * * Fired And Unfired Pressure Vessels A pressure vessel is a vessel in which pressure is obtained from an external source, or by the application of heat from an indirect or direct source.
