This document outlines optional requirements for a feedwater heater when located within the scope of Section I rules.
[1] A feedwater heater is a heat exchanger that heats feedwater for a boiler using steam or water extracted from the boiler. [2] When located within Section I piping limits, the feedwater heater can be built to Section VIII, Division 1 rules, subject to the conditions in PFH-1. [3] These conditions include requirements for design temperature, stamping, nameplating, and documenting the use of Section VIII rules in manufacturing data reports.

FEEDWATER HEATER (WHEN LOCATED WITHIN SCOPE OF SECTION I RULES)
PFH-1 PFH-1.3 The design temperature of the tubes shall
be not less than the saturated steam temperature corres- A feedwater heater is a heat exchanger in which ponding to the maximum allowable working pressure feedwater to be supplied to a boiler is heated by steam of the shell. If the steam entering the shell side of the or water extracted from the boiler or the prime mover. feedwater heater is superheated, the design temperature When such a feedwater heater is located within the of the tubes in the desuperheating zone shall be not limit of Section I piping, as defined by PG-58.3, it less than the saturation temperature corresponding to falls within the scope of Section I rules. With this maximum allowable shell side working pressure plus arrangement, the feedwater heater may be constructed 35°F (19°C). in compliance with Section VIII, Division 1, subject to the following conditions. PFH-1.4 The feedwater heater shall be stamped with the ASME Code “U” symbol and be documented with the ASME U-1 Data Form. PFH-1.1 The feedwater heater shall conform with PFH-1.5 A nameplate per UG-119 shall be furnished Section VIII, Division 1 rules for unfired steam boilers and shall show the additional information “and Part [UW-2(c)]. PFH of Section I.” PFH-1.6 The Master Data Report for the completed PFH-1.2 The maximum allowable working pressure boiler unit (using Manufacturers’ Data Report Form of the primary (feedwater) side of the heater shall be P-2, P-3, P3A, or P-5, as applicable) shall indicate not less than the design pressure requirements of ASME “Feedwater heater constructed to Section VIII, Division B31.1, para. 122.1.3. 1, as permitted by Part PFH.”
