(3) On river steam vessels whose boilers are connected in batteries without means of isolating one boiler from another, each battery of boilers must be treated as a single boiler and equipped with not less than two safety valves of equal size. (4) (Modifies PG-70.) The total rated relieving capacity of drum and superheater safety valves as certified by the valve manufacturer must not be less than the maximum generating capacity of the boiler, which must be determined and certified by the boiler manufacturer. This capacity must comply with PG-70 of Section I of the ASME BPVC. (5) In the event the maximum steam generating capacity of the boiler is increased by any means, the relieving capacity of the safety valves must be checked by an inspector, and, if necessary, valves of increased relieving capacity must be installed. (6) (Modifies PG-67.) Drum safety valves must be set to relieve at a pressure not in excess of that allowed by the Certificate of Inspection. Where for any reason this is lower than the pressure for which the boiler was originally designed and the revised safety valve capacity cannot be recomputed and certified by the valve manufacturer, one of the tests described in PG-69 of section I of the ASME BPVC must be conducted in the presence of the Inspector to ensure that the relieving capacity is sufficient at the lower pressure.

(a) Types of boilers —(1) Main power boiler . A main power boiler is a steam boiler used for generating steam for main propulsion. (2) Auxiliary or donkey boiler. An auxiliary or donkey boiler is a steam boiler used for general purposes other than main propulsion. (3) Watertube boiler. A watertube boiler is a steam boiler in which the boiler tubes contain water and steam. The heat is applied to the outside surface of the tubes. (4) Internally fired firetube boiler (scotch boiler). An internally fired firetube boiler is a steam boiler containing furnaces, one or more combustion chambers and tubes or flues, which are surrounded by water and through which the products of combustion pass from the furnace to the uptake. (5) Externally fired firetube or flue boiler (horizontal return tubular ). An externally fired firetube or flue boiler is a steam boiler, part of the outer shell of which is exposed to fire or to the products of combustion, and containing flues through which such products pass from the furnace to the uptake. (6) Unfired steam boiler. A pressure vessel in which steam is generated by means other than fuel combustion is classed as an unfired steam boiler. (See § 54.01-10 of this subchapter.) (b) Parts of boilers —(1) Superheater. A superheater is an appliance, normally consisting of tube rows, for the purpose of increasing the temperature of steam above the saturation temperature. (2) Economizer. An economizer is a feed-water heater usually located in the uptake or casing of a boiler to absorb heat from the waste gases. (3) Furnace. A furnace is a firebox or a large flue in which the fuel is burned. (4) Flues.
