b) *Fuel Equipment used to heat the building*
2.- What *COF is required* to supervise the *Fuel-oil transfer in the building from one
floor to another?* - ANSWER *P-98 and maintain all qualifications and comply w/
requirements applicable to such certificate holder*
*The P-98 COF is premise-related*
3.- The word *should* is used to mean: - ANSWER *Polices, procedures and / or best
practices recommended by the FDNY*
4.- The word *shall* is used to mean: - ANSWER *Requirement of the Fire Code or the
FDNY*
5.- *Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation*
Shall be under the *GENERAL SUPERVISION* of P-98: - ANSWER *A stationary fuel-oil
storage tank, related piping, that is installed on the lowest floor of the building and
transfer fuel-oil through piping to another stationary fuel-oil storage tank, or fuel
burning equipment, installed above such floor*
6.- *Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation*
Shall be under the *PERSONAL SUPERVISION* of P-98 COF shall be? - ANSWER
,*Periodic Inspection and Testing of tanks and piping*
7.- *Maintenance Requirements*
Fuel-oil storage tanks and piping *shall be inspected* for any evidence of leaks? -
ANSWER *Weekly*
8.- *Maintenance Requirements*
Fuel-oil storage tanks *shall have their float switches tested* to ensure that they are in
good working order at least? - ANSWER *Weekly*
9.- *Licences & Certificates*
*No* oil burning equipment *may operated until?* - ANSWER a) *Certificate of
Compliance* has been issued by *NYCDOB*
b) *Air pollution control code* requirements *NYCDEP*
c) *Permit for the Storage & use of fuel-oil* issued by *FDNY*
10.- *Licences & Certificates*
According to the *New NYC Fire Code & Mechanical Codes*? - ANSWER *The COF
applies to all existing and new structures where fuel is being transferred from the lowest
stories to tanks or equipment on floors above*
11.- *Oil circulation in the system*
Diagram of:
*Oil Circulation from the Tank at the LOWEST floor of a building to the burner on the
floor above such floor through the pump* - ANSWER
12.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
What the *oil storage tank* do? - ANSWER *Provides the supply of oil for combustion in
the oil burner. It's inside a dike. In case of leak the diked area will contain the oil.*
,13.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
What is the condition of the #2 fuel-oil in its *normal state*? - ANSWER *Is thin and light
and is easily pumped through the circulation system.*
14.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*What the suction pump do?* - ANSWER *Circulates the oil throughout the system. Dirt
and sediment are present in the fuel-oil coming from the oil storage tank. The oil filter
removes most of these contaminants from the oil before the oil reaches the burner's
strainer.* 15.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
How many inches has to be the *SUCTION LINE?* - ANSWER *6 inches from the bottom
of the tank for sediments not to be absorbed*
16.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
What is the *vacuum gauge?* - ANSWER *A device that measures pressure below
atmospheric pressure.*
17.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*High vacuum readings* means? - ANSWER There is an obstruction in the suction line
(such as dirty oil strainer) when this happens the flow of oil can be stopped by closing
the shut-off valve.*
18.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
Closing the *shut-off valve.?* - ANSWER Flow of oil *STOP*
*This allows the operator to clean the filter/strainer or to perform other maintenance*
19.- *Circulating Oil in the System*
*Main Oil Storage Tank at bottom level* - ANSWER
20.- *Circulating Oil in the System*
, *Main Oil Storage Tank Dike* - ANSWER
21.- *Circulating Oil in the System*
How is the *Main Fuel Valve* operated? - ANSWER *The main fuel valve is electrically
operated and will open or close the line leading to the atomizer* only for oil burners.
22.- *Oil Flow through the System*
*Main Fuel Valve.* - ANSWER It will turn OFF the burners if an ignition or a combustion
failure occurs *
23.- *Oil Flow through the System*
*Oil moves by gravity around the piping system backward* to.? - ANSWER The oil tank
through oil return line*
24.- *Oil Flow through the System*
For Safety is give a *Back Pressure Relief Valve* - ANSWER *If the pressure becomes
too great.*
25.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
Where is located a *Day Tank*? - ANSWER *May be located throughout the building
above the lowest floor*
26.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
*Day Tank Filter* - ANSWER
27.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
Is a *Separate pump* required? - ANSWER *Yes, for each* DAY TANK *for each floor*
28.- *Oil Circulation in the System*
