APPENDIX I
HOT AIR BALLOONS — HEATER ENDURANCE TEST
1 HEATER AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT
1.1 General
 (a) This Appendix describes an acceptable means of demonstrating compliance with the requirement of subparagraph 3.3 of this section in the case of heaters which are provided with controls which have a means of modulating power output. The test will need to be modified for heaters with other types of controls.
 (b) The test shall be conducted such that the complete heater system including the burner unit, controls, fuel lines, fuel cells, regulators, control valves and other related equipment are substantiated. Each element of the system must be installed and tested so as to simulate the actual balloon installation. The system shall complete the prescribed test without failure or malfunction
1.2 Heater System Test
 (a) The test is to be so conducted such that the block of cycles in (b) is repeated 10 times.
        (b)     Each block is to consist of the following spectrum:

 Segment Power Setting Number of  Duration of
  (% maximum design cycles  cycles
  output) (seconds)

 1 100 80  5
 2 50 200  10
 3 30 300  10

 4 20 360  10

 5 100 1  900

Note 1: Each segment is to be conducted in the sequence tabulated above.
Note 2: The test may be interrupted if necessary.
Note 3: Each cycle of each segment is to be repeated at the following intervals:
 (a) power setting of 100% — not less than 100 seconds after the completion of the preceding cycle;
 (b) power setting of less than 100% — not less than 50 seconds after the completion of the preceding cycle.
              Note 4: Each block of test cycles, i.e., the spectrum defined in (b), is to be commenced
