									<text>"combustion chamber" means a chamber in which fuel is burned to establish a self-supporting fire or flame and which surrounds that fire or flame;</text>
								</noteParagraph>
								<noteParagraph>
									<text>"burner" means a device by which fluent fuel is passed to a combustion space where it burns to produce a self-supporting flame;</text>
