Figure 1-6_Combustion Air from Outside Single Opening

4.If a single combustion air opening is provided to bring combustion air in directly from the outdoors, the opening must be sized based on a minimum free area of one square inch per 3000 Btu/hr (7 cm2 per kW). This opening must be located within 12" (30 cm) of the top of the enclosure (see FIG. 1-6).

Combustion air requirements are based on the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada refer to National Standard CAN B149.1. Check all local code requirements for combustion air.

All dimensions are based on net free area in square inches. Metal louvers or screens reduce the free area of a combustion air opening a minimum of approximately 25%. Check with louver manufacturers for exact net free area of louvers. Where two openings are provided, one must be within 12" (30 cm) of the ceiling and one must be within 12" (30 cm) of the floor of the room where the appliance is installed. Each opening must have a net free area as specified in Table 1B (on page 12). Single openings shall be located within 12" (30 cm) of the ceiling.

CAUTION

Under no circumstances should the room

 

where the appliance is installed ever be

 

under a negative pressure. Particular care

 

should be taken where exhaust fans, attic

 

fans, clothes dryers, compressors, air

 

handling units, etc., may take away air from

 

the appliance.

The combustion air supply must be completely free of any flammable vapors that may ignite or chemical fumes which may be corrosive to the appliance. Common corrosive chemical fumes which must be avoided are fluorocarbons and other halogenated compounds, most commonly present as refrigerants or solvents, such as freon, tricholorethylene, perchlorethylene, chlorine, etc. These chemicals, when burned, form acids which quickly attack the heat exchanger finned tubes, headers, flue collectors, and the vent system. The result is improper combustion and a non-warrantable, premature appliance failure.

The result is improper combustion and a non-warrantable, premature appliance failure.

EXHAUST FANS: Any fan or equipment which exhausts air from the equipment room may deplete the combustion air supply and/or cause a downdraft in the venting system. Spillage of flue products from the venting system into an occupied living space can cause a very hazardous condition that must be immediately corrected. If a fan is used to supply combustion air to the equipment room, the installer must make sure that it does not cause drafts which could lead to nuisance operational problems with the appliance.
