FDNY COF P-98
1.- Where commonly Fuel-oil is used in homes?
What functions?
Is used in Stationary Equipment
Two purposes:
a) Fuel Emergency Generators
b) Fuel Equipment used to warmness the constructing
2.- What COF is needed to supervise the Fuel-oil transfer within the constructing from one floor
to another?
- P-98 and preserve all qualifications and comply w/ requirements relevant to such certificate
holder
- The P-98 COF is premise-associated
three.- The use of the word must refers to:
Policies, strategies and/or nice practices encouraged through the FDNY, and won't be a codified
requirement.
Four.- The use of the word shall refers to:
Requirement of the Fire Code or the FDNY
five.- Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation
,Shall be under the GENERAL SUPERVISION of P-98:
A stationary gas-oil storage tank, associated piping, that is mounted on the lowest floor of the
constructing and transfer gasoline-oil through piping to some other desk bound gasoline-oil
storage tank, or fuel burning equipment, hooked up above such floor
7.- Maintenance Requirements
Fuel-oil storage tanks and piping shall be inspected for any proof of leaks
Weekly
6.- Supervision of Fuel-Oil Piping & Storage Operation Shall be under the PERSONAL
SUPERVISION of P-98 COF
Periodic Inspection and Testing of tanks and piping
8.- Maintenance Requirements
Fuel-oil garage tanks shall have their flow switches tested to make certain that they're in
desirable working order at the least
Weekly
nine.- Licences & Certificates
No oil burning device may additionally operated till
a) Certificate of Compliance has been issued by means of NYCDOB
b) Air pollutants control code requirements NYCDEP
c) Permit for the Storage & use of gas-oil issued by using FDNY
,10.- Licences & Certificates
Pursuant to the New NYC Fire Code & Mechanical Codes said that
The COF is needed for all existing and new homes wherein gas is being transported from the
lowest degrees to tanks or device on top floors
11.- Oil Circulation in the System
Diagram #1
The technique 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.

12.- Oil Circulation inside the System
Oil storage tank
Provides the deliver of oil for combustion in the oil burner. It is inner a dike. In case of a leak the
diked vicinity will contain the oil. In its regular situation, #2 gas-oil is thin and mild and is
effortlessly pumped thru the circulation system
Image: 12.- Oil Circulation in the System
Oil storage tank
13.- Oil Circulation within the System
A Suction pump
Circulates the oil all through the system. Dirt and sediment are present inside the gasoline-oil
coming from the oil garage tank. The oil clear out removes most of these contaminants from the
oil earlier than the oil reaches the burner's strainer.
Image: thirteen.- Oil Circulation inside the System
A Suction pump
14.- Oil Circulation within the System
, The Suction Line
Has to be 6 inches from the lowest of the tank for sediments not to be absorbed. The vacuum
gauge is a device that measures stress underneath atmospheric strain. Excessive vacuum
readings indicate that there's an obstruction within the suction line (such as dirty oil strainer).
When this happens the flow of oil can be stopped with the aid of ultimate the close-off valve.
This lets in the operator to clean the filter/strainer or to carry out different renovation

15.- Oil Circulation within the System
Main Fuel Valve
Electrically operated and could open or near the line main to the atomizer best for oil burners. It
will close down the burner device if there may be a failure of ignition or combustion.
Sixteen.- Oil Circulation within the System
A Back Pressure Relief Valve
Oil circulates via the piping gadget again to the storage tank through the oil go back line. A back
strain alleviation valve is furnished for safety if the pressure will become too high-quality. Day
tanks can be located at some point of the building above the lowest floor
17.- Oil Circulation inside the System
A Separate Pump
Required for every day tank to supply every floor. In case of a leak within the piping, leak
collector is furnished. Leak collector is stored by the garage tank. It has a oil stage gauge which
suggests the quantity accumulated
