4.5 Environmental requirements. All environmental requirements shall be verified as follows.
4.5.1 Storage test. Subject one heater to storage testing. Bring chamber air temperature up to
155E F (" 3EF) and 75% relative humidity (" 5%), once these conditions are attained, hold for a 4
hour storage period. Remove the heater and perform functionally check. Failure of the heater to
operate due to damage incurred during storage testing shall constitute a test failure.
4.5.2 Basic climate test. Stabilize climatic chamber ambient air temperature at 40E F (" 2EF) to
operate heater. Cold soak heater, accessories and fuel. Set up and operate heater in the GP small
tent or similarly sized shelter with an exhaust stack opening. Use fuels specified (see Table II).
Perform indicated efficiency, smoke test and heat output test per Appendix A. Failure of the heater
to operate over the minimum range of 30,000 BTU/Hr - 60,000 BTU/Hr within acceptable smoke
and efficiency levels shall constitute a failure.
4.5.3 Basic cold test. Stabilize climatic chamber air temperature at -25E F ("2EF) to operate
heater. Cold soak heater, accessories and fuel. Unpack heater and set up for operation as in 4.5.2.
Use fuels specified (see Table II). Perform indicated efficiency, smoke test and heat output test per
Appendix A. Failure of the heater to operate over the minimum range of 30,000 BTU/Hr - 60,000
BTU/Hr within acceptable smoke and efficiency levels shall constitute a failure.
4.5.4 High altitude test. Provide a field site, which is 4,000 feet Above Sea Level (ASL)
minimum, or simulate conditions at 4,000 feet ASL for operational checkouts. Operate heater for a
