Provision for Air Heaters
When using the units, the respec-
tive applicable guidelines must
always be observed.
For example for Germany:
■
Combustion plant order
(FeuVo) for the individual state
■
Accident prevention regulations
(UVV) „Heating, flaming and
melting devices for construction
and installation work“ (VBG 43)
■
Workplace directives ASR 5
■
Workplace ordinance §§ 5 and
14 - excerpt from the accident
prevention regulations
(VBG 43)
Excerpt from the accident preven-
tion regulations (VBG 43)
§ 37 Operating personnel
The unit must only be operated by
persons who
have been trained in its operation.
§ 38 Installation
(1) The unit must be installed so
that it can stand in a
stable position.
(2) The unit must be installed and
operated in such a way that
the employees are not
exposed to the danger of
exhaust gases and radiant heat
and that the occurrence of fires
is ruled out.
(3) The unit may only be installed
and operated in
rooms if a quantity of air suffici
ent for the combustion
is supplied to the unit and the
exhaust gases
are removed to the exterior.
A natural air supply sufficient
for the combustion is present
if e.g.
The room contents in m² corre
spond with at least 10 times the
nominal heat load in kW of all
the units operating in the room
and if windows
and doors ensure a natural
change of air.
(4) In deviation from point 3, the
unit can be operated
without an exhaust system in
rooms if these rooms have a
sufficient air supply and are well
ventilated and if materials
harmful to health do not
reach an unhealthy concentra-
ton.
A good natural air supply and
ventilation is the case if e. g.:
1. The room contents in m² corre
spond with at least 30 times the
nominal heat output of all units
operating in the room and a
natural change of air is ensured
through windows and doors, or
openings which are not locka
ble are present in the
region of ceiling and floor for
the air supply and for
out going air and the size of
these openings in m²
corresponds with at least 0.003
times the nominal
heat output in kW of all units
operating in the room.
(5) The unit must not be installed
or operated in rooms
and areas where the danger of
fire or explosion exists..
§ 44 Room drying
(2) In derogation from § 38 section
3 heating units can be used
for drying areas with adequate
air supply for combustion
without having to route the
exhaust gases through exhaust
gas ducting to the outside.
It is forbidden for personnel to
remain in these areas for
extended periods.
Appropriate prohibition signs
should be put up at the entran
ces.
§ 53 Examination
(2) The unit must be tested by an
expert as to its work safety
specific condition in
accordance with the required
deployment conditions but at
least once annually.
The exhaust values of the
burner must be checked.
§ 54 Monitoring
(1) When starting work, the
persons commissioned with
the operation of the unit must
check the unit
for obvious defects or deficien
cies on the operational and
safety mechanisms and check
that the safety mechanisms are
present.
(2) If defects or deficiencies are
discovered, the supervisor
must be informed..
(3) In the case of defects or defici
encies which en danger
the operational safety of the
unit, its operation
must be terminated.
§ 55 Infringements
Infringements in the sense of §
710 section 1 of the Imperial In-
surance Code pertain to an inten-
tional or negligent breach of the
provisions of VBG 43.
