Project Name / Date |
Division 23 52 33.13 - 1 |
A. General |
|
|
1. The water heater(s) shall be fired with |
gas at a rated input of |
BTU/hr. |
2.The water heater(s) shall be CSA tested and certified with a minimum thermal efficiency of 82 percent at full fire.
3.The water heater(s) shall be ASME inspected and HLW-stamped and National Board registered for 160 PSIG working pressure, complete with a Manufacturer's Data Report.
4.The water heater(s) shall have a floor loading of 70 lbs. /square foot or less.
B.Heat Exchanger
1.The heat exchanger shall be of a single-bank, horizontal-grid design with integral copper fin tubes, each end of which is rolled into an ASME boiler-quality steel tube sheet.
2.The heat exchanger shall be sealed to 160 PSIG rated bronze headers with high temperature silicone "O" rings.
3.The low water volume heat exchanger shall be explosion-proof on the water side and shall carry a twenty-year warranty against thermal shock.
4.The headers shall be secured to the tube sheet by stud bolts with flange nuts to permit inspection and maintenance without removal of external piping connections.
5.The heat exchanger shall incorporate “V” baffles, between the tubes, to ensure complete contact of the external tube surfaces with the products of combustion.
6.The water heater(s) shall be capable of operating at inlet water temperatures as low as 105°F without condensation.
7.The water heater(s) shall be designed to accommodate field changes of either left or right hand plumbing and electrical while leaving the tube bundle in place.
8.The heat exchanger shall be AB-1953 compliant in construction and verification by a third party certification agency.
C.Burners
1.The stainless steel alloy burners shall have lanced ports and slots, utilize multiport radial gas orifices, and be capable of quiet ignition and extinction without flashback at the orifice.
D.Pilot Control System
1.The water heater(s) shall be equipped with a 100 percent safety shutdown system and an electronic intermittent ignition system with electronic flame supervision having a nominal 0.8 second flame response time.
2.The ignition shall be Spark Ignition type with full flame rectification to ensure consistent operation.
3.The igniter will be located away from the water inlet to protect the device from condensation during startup.
4.The ignition control module shall include two LEDs that indicate flame presence and/or system status.
E.Gas Train
1.The water heater(s) shall have dual-seated main gas valve(s).
2.Gas control trains shall have a redundant safety shut-off feature, main gas regulator, shut-off cock and plugged pressure tapping to meet the requirements of ANSI Z21.10.3/CSA 4.3.
F.Water Heater Control
1.The following safety controls shall be provided:
a.High limit control
b.Flow switch, mounted and wired
c.____PSIG ASME pressure relief valve, piped by the installer to an approved drain
d.Temperature and pressure gauge
2.The water heater(s) shall be equipped with an energy-saving pump control relay (Economaster), mounted and wired, which automatically shuts off the water heater pump at a set period after water heater shut-down (adjustable from three to ten minutes) to avoid standby losses associated with constant pump operation.
G.Firing Mode
1.The water heater(s) shall be equipped to (a) or (b):
