Combustion Air and Ventilation for

Appliances Located in Confined Spaces

CONFINED SPACE is a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m 3 per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.

A.ALL AIR FROM INSIDE BUILDINGS:

(See Figure 9 on page 9 and Figure 10 below)

The confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings communicating directly with an additional room(s) of sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all spaces meets the criteria for an unconfined space. The total input of all gas utilization equipment installed in the combined space

shall be considered in making this determination. Each opening shall have a minimum free area of one square inch per 1,000 Btu per hour (22 cm2/kW) of the total input rating of all gas utilization equipment in the confined space, but not less than 100 square inches (645 cm2). One opening shall commence within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top and one

commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of the bottom of the enclosures.

B. ALL AIR FROM OUTDOORS: (See Figures 9, 11,12 and 13)

The confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings, one commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top and one commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) from the bottom of the enclosure. The openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors.

When directly communicating with the outdoors, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu per hour (5,5 cm2/kW) of total input ratingof all equipment in the enclosure, see Figure 12,

When communicating with the outdoors through vertical ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 BTU per hour (5.5 cm2/kW) of total

input rating of all equipment in the enclosure, see Figure 12.

When communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 2,000 BTU per hour (11 cm2/kW) of total

input rating of all equipment in the enclosure, see Figure 13,

When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross- sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they connect. The minimum short side dimension of rectangular air ducts shall not be less than 3 inches (76.2 mm), see Figure 13.

Louvers and Grilles: In calculating free area, consideration shall be given to the blocking effect of louvers, grilles or screens protecting openings. Screens used shall not be smaller than 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) mesh. If the free area through a design of louver or grille is known, it should be used in calculating the size opening required to provide the free area specified. If the design and free area is not known, it may be assumed that weed louvers will be 20-25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60-75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles shall be fixed in the open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they are opened automatically during equipment operation.
