Marginal note:Record-making

44 Records in respect of a boiler or heater that contain the following information and documents must be made:

• (a) a description of the steps, including the relevant dates, that are taken to comply with the operation and maintenance specifications for the boiler or heater set out by its manufacturer or required by its design;

• (b) a description, including the relevant dates, of any modifications that are made to the design or characteristics of the boiler and heater, including

  • (i) a redesign referred to in subsection 10(2),

  • (ii) a major modification referred to in subsection 13(2),

  • (iii) for a heater, the addition or removal of equipment to preheat air,

  • (iv) the refurbishment of a burner, and

  • (v) a modification that results in a change in its thermal efficiency;

• (c) the following information necessary to determine the percentage of the input energy in the boiler’s or heater’s combustion chamber that results from the introduction of gaseous fossil fuel in accordance with the formula set out in section 15:

  • (i) if the value determined for each of E_o and E_h is zero, information that establishes that the boiler or heater combusted only gaseous fossil fuel, and

  • (ii) in any other case, information necessary to determine the value of each of E_cng, E_gff, E_o and E_h in that formula;

• (d) an indication of a change in fuel from alternative gas to natural gas, or vice versa, including the date and hour of the change, along with supporting documents necessary to determine the value of an element of the formula set out in section 16;

• (e) for any test run under section 27 that lasted less than 30 minutes, its duration and the reason why it would not have been both safe and technically feasible without risking damage to equipment if it had lasted longer; and

• (f) for any test run under section 27 in which the boiler or heater operated at less than 60% of its rated capacity, the percentage of its rated capacity at which the boiler or heater operated and the reason why the test run would not have been both safe and technically feasible without risking damage to equipment if it had been conducted at a greater percentage of its rated capacity.
