724 Types of gas device
(1) A
"gas device (type A)" is a device used or designed or intended for use for a
purpose mentioned in subsection (2) , and prescribed under a regulation.
(2)
For subsection (1) , the purposes are—
(a) for production of heat, light or
power using fuel gas; or
(b) for refrigeration for which fuel gas is the
fuel; or
(c) as a propellant.
(3) A
"gas device (type B)" is any of the following—
(a) a device, or system of
devices, other than a gas device (type A), that—
(i) is used or designed or
intended for use for a purpose mentioned in subsection (2) ; or
(ii) is used
or designed or intended for use in a manufacturing process if the device uses
fuel gas; or
(iii) is a fuel gas refrigeration device;
(b) a gas flare;
(c)
a thermal oxidiser.
Examples of gas devices (type B)—
• a fuel gas
system for a motor vehicle or vessel
• a gas fired boiler at a major
industrial plant
(4) To remove any doubt, it is declared that an industrial
facility constructed for the purpose of producing liquified gas is not, of
itself, a fuel gas refrigeration device.
(5) In this section—
"gas flare" means a device that—
(a) uses combustion to dispose of fuel gas;
and
(b) is prescribed under a regulation.
"thermal oxidiser" means a device that uses a chemical reaction to reduce or
remove gaseous pollutants from a mixture of gases that includes fuel gas, as
part of an industrial process.
