Help ensure safe engine operation and minimize fire hazards with NFPA 37, Standard for the Installation and Use of Stationary Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines. Stay up-to-code with the latest changes and additions from the 2021 edition of NFPA 37, Standard for the Installation and Use of Stationary Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines. Designers, installers, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) can utilize the safety requirements in this standard to reduce fire hazards during the installation and operation of stationary combustion engines and gas turbines. Requirements in NFPA 37 address system installation, fuel supplies, lubricating systems, engine exhaust systems, control and instrumentation, and fire protection features. Vital revisions and additions to the latest edition of NFPA 37 include the following: Fire test criteria was revised to establish clearance distances for locating engines on roofs and outdoors. Calculations are allowed to establish clearance distances for locating engines on roofs and outdoors. Chapter 8, Engine Exhaust Systems, was reorganized and includes listings for factory-built chimneys. Automatic safety shutoff valves are now required to be listed or specified by the engine or turbine manufacturer for an application. A new annex on inspection, testing, and monitoring was added. A new section on hybrid fire extinguishing systems was added. Annex language was added clarifying that engine rooms, enclosures, or other locations are not classified based on NFPA 70Ā®, National Electrical CodeĀ®. This standard is essential for loss prevention professionals; designers and installers of stationary engines for fire pumps, standby power supplies, and emergency generators; insurers; and AHJs to help improve safe engine operation and minimize fire hazards.
