UNDER THIS PROPOSAL THERMAL FLUID
HEATERS WILL NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED BOILERS FOR INSPECTION
PURPOSES. A THERMAL FLUID HEATER WILL BE CONSIDERED A TYPE OF
EQUIPMENT UNDER 46 CFR SUBCHAPTER F (MARINE ENGINEERING SYSTEM),
SEPARATE FROM BOILERS FOR INSPECTION AND TESTING. SEPARATION OF
THERMAL FLUID HEATERS FROM BOILERS WILL BETTER REFLECT CONSTRUCTION
AND OPERATION DIFFERENCES.
