Figure 10: Boiler Installed In Confined Space, All Air From Inside

•If providing openings into adjacent rooms is undesirable, combustion and ventilation air can be brought into the boiler room from outdoors. See the instructions under “For Buildings of Unusually Tight Construction”.

B.For Buildings Of Unusually Tight Construction

1)Provide outdoor air through two permanent openings which communicate directly or by duct with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) freely exchanging air with the outdoors. 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. The minimum dimension of each air opening is 3 inches. Size each opening per the following instructions:

a.Direct communication with outdoors (Figure 13) require a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu per hour input based on all fuel burning appliances in the boiler room space but not less than 100 square inches. The minimum opening size is 3 inches.

b.Vertical ducts or Openings (Figure 11 and Figure 12) require a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu per hour input of all fuel burning appliances in the boiler room space but not less than 100 square inches. The cross- sectional area of the duct shall be the same as the required free area opening. The minimum opening size is 3 inches.

c.Horizontal ducts to the outdoors (Figure 14) require a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 2,000 Btu per hour input of all fuel burning appliances in the boiler room space but not less than 100 square inches. The cross-sectional area of the duct shall be the same as the required free area opening. The minimum opening size is 3 inches.

d.Louvers and Grilles of Ventilation Ducts - All outside openings should be screened or louvered. Louvers will prevent the entrance of rain and snow. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the open position. If motorized louvers are used, they must be interlocked to prevent boiler operation in the event the louvers do not fully open.

Important

When determining the “free area” of an opening, the blocking effects of mesh screens, grills, louvers and the like should be taken into account. Where screens are used, they must be no finer than 1/4” (4 x 4) mesh.
