AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Determining Fresh-Air Flow for Heater Location (Cont.) Ventilation Air

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Continued

The space in the example on page 5 is a confined space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:

A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the

extra space provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining

C.

Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room unconfined.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an uncon- fined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ven- tilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 Sec- tion 5.3 or applicable local codes.

VENTILATION AIR

Ventilation Air From Inside Building

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

Ventilation Air From Outdoors

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.

Desa VYGF33NRB, VYGF33PRB, and FPVF33PRA are leading models in the domain of innovative heating solutions, featuring state-of-the-art technology and design aimed at efficiency and performance. These heating units are engineered to cater to a variety of spaces while ensuring user-friendly operation and environmental considerations.

The VYGF33NRB and VYGF33PRB models are distinguished by their advanced radiant heating technology. They utilize infrared heat, which warms objects and surfaces directly rather than simply heating the air. This method proves to be highly efficient, particularly in large or poorly insulated spaces, as it minimizes energy waste and promotes rapid heating.

Both VYGF33NRB and VYGF33PRB models come equipped with adjustable thermostats, allowing users to maintain precise temperature controls according to their specific needs. This feature complements the energy-saving capabilities of these models, ensuring that they only operate when necessary, thereby reducing overall energy consumption. Furthermore, the sleek, modern design of these models makes them an attractive addition to any indoor or outdoor setting.

The FPVF33PRA and FPVF33NRA, on the other hand, focus on versatility and portability. With lighter designs and built-in mobility features, these units can be easily relocated according to the user's requirements. They incorporate integrated safety mechanisms, such as tip-over switches and overheat protection, ensuring that safety remains a priority even in dynamic environments.

In addition to their heating capabilities, these models are equipped with air filtration technologies that improve indoor air quality. This feature is particularly beneficial in regions where allergens and pollutants can affect health and comfort. The air filtration systems in the FPVF33 series transform heating units into multi-functional appliances, providing not just warmth but also clean air.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the ease of maintenance that these units offer. Many components are designed for easy access, allowing for routine cleaning and replacement to ensure longevity. These models also feature energy-efficient settings that adapt to environmental conditions, making them suitable for various climates.

In conclusion, the Desa VYGF33NRB, VYGF33PRB, FPVF33PRA, and FPVF33NRA models epitomize the merging of innovative technology with practical utility. Their distinct features such as energy efficiency, advanced heating technology, portability, and air filtration capabilities cater to a wide range of heating needs while promoting a safer, healthier living environment. With these models, users can expect not only comfort but also a commitment to sustainability in their heating solutions.
