Los Angeles Mechanical Code > 13 Fuel Gas Piping > 1311.0 Gas Piping Installation > 1311.14 Systems Containing Flammable Gas-Air Mixtures > 1311.14.5 Installation of Gas-Mixing Machines
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Installation of gas-mixing machines shall comply with the following:
  1. The machine shall be located in a large, well-ventilated area or in a small detached building or cutoff room provided with room construction and explosion vents in accordance with sound engineering principles. Such rooms or belowgrade installations shall have approved positive ventilation.
  2. Where gas-mixing machines are installed in well-ventilated areas, the type of electrical equipment shall be in accordance with NFPA 70, for general service conditions unless other hazards in the area prevail. Where gas-mixing machines are installed in small detached buildings or cutoff rooms, the electrical equipment and wiring shall be installed in accordance with NFPA 70.
  3. Air intakes for gas-mixing machines using compressors or blowers shall be taken from outdoors where practical.
  4. Controls for gas-mixing machines shall include interlocks and a safety shutoff valve of the manual reset type in the gas supply connection to each machine arranged to automatically shut off the gas supply in the event of high or low gas pressure. Except for open-burner installations, the controls shall be interlocked so that the blower or compressor will stop operating following a gas supply failure. Where a system employs pressurized air, means shall be provided to shut off the gas supply in the event of air failure.
  5. Centrifugal gas-mixing machines in parallel shall be reviewed by the user and equipment manufacturer before installation, and means or plans for minimizing these effects of downstream pulsation and equipment overload shall be prepared and utilized as needed. [NFPA 54:7.12.5]
