What is the maximum allowed temperature that a heat source may produce in a compartment containing LPG appliances?

The maximum allowed temperature that a heat source may produce in a compartment containing LPG appliances is established to ensure safety and prevent any potential hazards associated with the storage and operation of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). In this context, the temperature of 300 °F is specified because it aligns with industry standards that prioritize the safe operation of LPG systems.

At higher temperatures, the risk of increasing the pressure within LPG tanks or causing other safety issues escalates, which could lead to leaks or failures in the system. Hence, the 300 °F limit is designed to maintain safe operating conditions for both the appliances and the compartment where they are located. By adhering to this maximum temperature, the likelihood of thermal-related incidents is significantly reduced, ensuring not just the performance of the appliances, but also the overall safety of the surrounding environment.
