VI Air for Ventilation

WARNING

Outdoor combustion air must be piped to the air intake. Never pipe combustion air from areas containing contaminates such as areas where swimming pool chemicals are stored. Contaminated combustion air will damage the boiler and may cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

Air for combustion and ventilation, of the National Flue Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 CAN/CSA B 149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, or applicable provisions of the local building codes.

Air for combustion must always be obtained directly from outdoors, however sufficient air for ventilation must still be provided in the boiler room. Air for ventilation is required to keep various boiler components from overheating and is always obtained from indoors. To ensure an adequate ventilation air supply, perform the following steps:

Step 1: Determine whether the boiler is to be installed in a confined space - A confined space is defined by

the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1./NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B 149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. 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 MWC116 and a water heater are to be installed in a room measuring 6ft – 3 in x 7ft with an 8 ft ceiling. The water heater has an input of 30000 BTU/hr:

Total input in thousands of BTU/hr = (116000 BTU/hr + 30000 BTU/hr) / 1000 = 146 MBTU/hr

Volume of room = 6.25 ft x 7 ft x 8 ft = 350 ft3

350/146 = 2.40. Since 2.33 is less than 50, the boiler room is a confined space.

Step 2a: If the boiler is to be placed in a 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 (Fig 6.1). The minimum opening dimension is

3inches.

•If the MWC boiler is the only gas-burning appliance in the boiler room, these openings must each have a minimum free area of 54 square inches.

•If other gas-burning appliances are in the boiler room, size the openings in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s instructions or the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B 149.1. Minimum opening free area is

54 square inches even if opening requirements for other appliances are less.
