AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight con- struction unless provisions are provided for adequate combus- tion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.

Todayʼs homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy effi- cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE

VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three fol- lowing ventilation classifications:

1.Unusually Tight Construction

2.Unconfined Space

3.Confined Space

The information on pages 5 through 7 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:

a.walls and ceilings exposed to the out- side atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10-11kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed and

b.weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors and

c.caulking or 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.

If your home meets all of these three cri- teria, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 7.

If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to Determin- ing Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location, page 6.

Confined and Unconfined Space

The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms com- municating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.

*Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

They are particularly suited for those seeking effective heating options without compromising on energy efficiency.

The CBT30NT, or the natural gas version, stands out with its ability to provide consistent warmth through a direct vent system. This allows for safe operation while minimizing the impact on indoor air quality. It effectively draws combustion air from outside, which is essential for spaces with limited ventilation. The CBT30PT, on the other hand, is a propane variant, providing flexibility for users who may not have access to natural gas lines. Both models are designed with user convenience in mind, featuring a simple control system that allows for easy adjustments and temperature settings.

One of the key characteristics of these heaters is their advanced thermostat control, which enables precise temperature management. This feature ensures energy usage is optimized, preventing unnecessary heating and reducing utility costs. The compact and sleek design of the CBT30NT and CBT30PT allows them to fit seamlessly into any room without being an eyesore.

The heaters are equipped with durable materials, providing resilience against the rigors of daily use. They feature safety mechanisms, including flame failure safety devices, ensuring peace of mind for users. Furthermore, both models incorporate a forced air design, which disperses heat efficiently throughout the space, eliminating cold spots and creating a more uniform climate.

In summary, the Desa CBT30NT and CBT30PT are ideal heating solutions that combine safety, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.
