V Air for Combustion and Ventilation

Sufficient fresh air must be supplied for combustion and ventilation. Provisions for combustion and ventilation air for oil burning equipment must be made in accordance with Section 1.5, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, in the latest edition of Installation of Oil Burning Equipment (ANSI/NFPA 31).

To ensure an adequate supply of air for combustion, ventilation and flue gas dilution, start by determining whether the boiler is to be installed in a building of unusually tight construction. A building of unusually tight construction is defined as having all of the following features:

•Walls and ceilings exposed to outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm or less with openings gasketed and sealed

•Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors

•Caulking and sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

For Buildings of Other than Unusually Tight Construction

1)Determine whether the boiler is to be installed in a confined space - A confined space is defined as having a volume less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU/hr input of all appliances installed in that space. To determine whether the boiler room is a confined space:

a.Total the input of all appliances in the boiler room in thousands of BTU/hr. Round the result to the next highest 1000 BTU/hr.

b.Find the volume of the room in cubic feet. The volume of the room in cubic feet is: Length (ft) x width (ft) x ceiling height (ft)

In calculating the volume of the boiler room, consider the volume of adjoining spaces only if no doors are installed between them. If doors are installed between the boiler room and an adjoining space, do not consider the volume of the adjoining space, even if the door is normally left open.

c.Divide the volume of the boiler room by the input in thousands of BTU/hr. If the result is less than 50, the boiler room is a confined space.

Example:

A TWZ090 and a water heater are to be installed in a room measuring 6 ft - 3 in x 7 ft with an 8 ft ceiling. The water heater has an input of 30000 BTU/hr:

Input of TWZ090 = 0.90 Gal/hr x 140000 BTU/Gal = 126000 BTU/hr

Total input in thousands of BTU/hr = (126000 BTU/hr + 30000 BTU/hr)/1000 = 156 Volume of room = 6.25 ft x 7 ft x 8 ft = 350 ft3

350/156 = 2.24. Since 2.24 is less than 50, the boiler room is a confined space.

2)Unconfined Space - Natural infiltration into the boiler room will normally provide adequate air for combustion and ventilation without additional louvers or openings into boiler room.

3)Confined Space - Provide two openings into the boiler room, one near the floor and one near the ceiling. The top edge of the upper opening must be within 12” of the ceiling and the bottom edge of the lower opening must be within 12” of the floor (Figure 4).

•Each opening must have a free area of 1 square inch per 1000 BTU/hr input of all fuel burning appliances in the boiler room. The minimum opening dimension is 3 inches. Minimum opening free area is 100 square inches per opening.

•If the total volume of both the boiler room and the room to which the openings connect is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU/hr of total appliance input, install a pair of identical openings into a third room. Connect additional rooms with openings until the total volume of all rooms is at least 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU/hr of input.

•The “free area” of an opening takes into account the blocking effect of mesh, grills, and louvers. Where screens are

TWZ150, TWZ125, TWZ065, TWZ075, TWZ100 specifications

Crown Boiler, known for its solid and reliable heating solutions, has designed the TWZ series to provide effective heating for both residential and commercial applications. The models in this series—TWZ090, TWZ120, TWZ175, TWZ200, and TWZ100—offer varying capacities and features tailored to meet diverse heating needs.

One of the key features of the TWZ series is its efficiency. These boilers are designed with a cast-iron heat exchanger that maximizes thermal efficiency, allowing for optimal heat transfer. This not only helps in reducing energy consumption but also ensures that the home remains warm and comfortable during the colder months. With an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating that can reach up to 85%, users can expect lower energy bills as well.

Each model in the TWZ series is equipped with a durable and robust construction. The cast iron sections provide increased resistance to wear and tear, making the TWZ series a long-lasting solution for heating needs. This is particularly beneficial for users looking for reliability over time, as the longevity of these boilers reduces the need for frequent replacements.

In terms of technology, the TWZ series features advanced controls that enhance functionality and ease of use. These boilers are compatible with various heating control systems, allowing users to fine-tune their heating setup according to their specific requirements. The inclusion of a flame safeguard system further ensures safety during operation, reducing the risk of malfunctions and improving overall reliability.

The TWZ series is designed for easy installation and maintenance. With options for direct venting or conventional chimney venting, homeowners and installers can choose the most suitable configuration for their properties. Additionally, the maintenance access points on these boilers make routine service checks simple and efficient, ensuring that the boilers remain in optimal condition.

Another important characteristic of the Crown Boiler TWZ series is its quiet operation. Advanced engineering minimizes noise production, making these boilers ideal for residential settings where peace and comfort are valuable.
