On Demand until September 27, 2019
Abstract:
Explosions and fires in fuel-fired and electric fluid heaters due to overheating or the release of flammable or combustible fluids from the heater tubing can cause loss of life, property and production. In industrial fluid heaters, such as those used to heat thermal fluids, where heated fluid may flow under pressure, most causes of failures can be traced to human error.
Updated for 2018, NFPA 87: Standard for Fluid Heaters defines the requirements for process fluid heaters to minimize fire and explosion hazards. During this one-hour webinar, you will gain insights about key points of NFPA 87 and notable revisions in the most recent edition. You will also learn about:
Types of process heating solutions and their applications
- Tips for selection and sizing fluid heaters and load-delivery heat exchangers
- Other standards and regulations such as OSHA PHA that affect owners and operators of fluid heaters
- Step-by-step on how to:
- Commission and startup
- Operate the heater and perform routine and preventative maintenance
- Testing and troubleshooting
- Emergency shutdown, fire and explosion protection
- Interlocks and emergency procedures
- New content anticipated for NFPA 87 for 2021 edition
