2.2 DIESEL ENGINE/GENERATOR EXHAUST
A. Diesel Engine/Generator/Turbine Exhaust System: Using Selkirk Commercial/Industrial Model IPS exhaust flue.
1. Provide factory built exhaust system that is tested and listed by the Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. for use with medium heat equipment burning gas, liquid or solid fuels, as described in NFPA-37 and NFPA-211, which produce exhaust flue gas temperatures not exceeding 1400 degree F (760 degree C) under continuous operating conditions. Additionally, the vent system shall be UL 103 positive pressure tested and listed to 60 inches internal water column pressure.
2. The UL listed fiber insulated exhaust system shall have skin temperatures that have been obtained by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) test procedures. The published surface temperatures shall be the result of the UL103 1000 degree Fahrenheit chimney test.
B. Construction:
1. The double wall exhaust system shall have a 304 stainless steel inner liner (20 gauge minimum) and an aluminized steel outer jacket (24 gauge minimum). The materials and construction of the modular sections and accessories shall be as specified by the terms of the product's U.L. listing.
a. Ceramic fiber insulation between the inner liner and outer jacket shall be a nominal two inches (51 mm) thick.
2. Aluminized steel surfaces exposed to the elements shall be protected by a minimum of one base coat of primer and one finish coat of corrosion resistant paint suitable for outer jacket skin temperatures of the given application. All primer and paint to be supplied by the installing contractor and shall be equivalent to series V2100 high heat, as manufactured by Rust-Oleum. Alternatively, an outer jacket constructed of 304 or 316 stainless steel may also be considered in lieu of painting.
