12-25.5.4. Heating of liquids. Devices used for heating flammable liquids shall be provided with an automatic temperature-regulating de vice so arranged that the source of heat shall be automatically shut off when the temperature of the liquid rises above the normal operating temperature.
12-25.6. Forced drying and baking.
, 12-25.6.1. Construction. Ovens, cabinets, other enclosures and duct work used for forced drying or baking systems shall be constructed of , incombustible material with expansion joints provided in th e oven fram ing. Duct work shall be provided with two inches clearance or threefourth inch of incombustible rigid insulation where the duct work passes through combustible walls, floors or roofs. The temperature of surfaces in contact with walls, floors or roofs shall not exceed 160 degrees F. The floor surface of the oven shall be of incombustible material and extend at least one foot beyond the oven outline. Interior surfaces shall be smooth.
12-25.6.2. Ventilation. Ovens, cabinets and other enclosures used for such purpose shall be provided with mechanical ventilation to maintain the concentration of flammable vapors below 50 percent of the lower explosive level at all times. Ovens shall be exhausted mechanically so that ; - . an inward air flow shall be maintained through all openings to prevent escape of dangerous air contaminants. The fans of such exhaust venti lating and any recirculating systems shall be interlocked to the heat supply by means of approved air flow switches so that the heat supply shall be cut off unless the fan maintains the required air flow. Conveyors shall be interlocked with the oven exhaust and any recirculating fans so that the conveyors cannot operate unless such fans a re operating. , When persons are required to enter the drying enclosure, the concen tration of air contaminants shall be maintained below the danger level . by mechanical ventilation.
12-25.6.3, Explosion vents. Ovens in which flammable vapors or com bustible gases may be present shall be equipped with explosion relief panels to relieve internal explosion pressures. Such vents shall provide an unobstructed aggregate area of one square foot of panel opening to each 15 cubic feet of oven volume, allowance being made for access openings and doors arranged to yield easily to internal pressure. Relief panels shall, if practicable, be located in the top of the enclosure and be made of material, other than glass, which shall easily yield to internal pressure. On long ovens explosion panels shall be distributed to provide effective explosion relief. Explosion panels shall be located and arranged so as not to create a hazard to employees or other work spaces. Panel edges shall be maintained free of condensate and other solid material to insure proper operation.
12-25.6.4. Controls. Fan switches shall be interlocked with the fuel ' valve through a time delay arrangement to assure proper preventilation
before the fuel is ignited. Where necessary, enclosure doors shall have a limit switch interlock to prevent the time delay relay from operating unless the enclosure doors are open.
The fuel supply line shall be provided with a pressure switch to shut off the fuel supply when fuel supply pressure is insufficient. The switch shall not reopen the fuel valve automatically.
An excess temperature limit switch shall be provided to cut off the fuel supply when oven temperature exceeds the safe limit. The switch shall not reopen the fuel valve automatically.
