Combustion and ventilation air requirements for conventionally vented appliances

Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must be in accordance with, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edition of CGA Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment, or applicable provisions of the local building codes.

The room where the appliance is installed MUST be provided with properly sized openings to assure adequate combustion air and proper ventilation when the appliance is installed with conventional venting.

Figure 1-3_Combustion Air Direct from Outside

1.If air is taken directly from outside the building with no duct, provide two permanent openings (see FIG. 1-3):

(a)Combustion air opening, with a minimum free area of one square inch per 4000 Btu/hr input (5.5 cm2 per kW). This opening must be located within 12" (30 cm) of the floor.

(b)Ventilation air opening, with a minimum free area of one square inch per 4000 Btu/hr input

(5.5 cm2 per kW). This opening must be located within 12" (30 cm) of the ceiling.

2.If combustion and ventilation air is taken from the outdoors using a duct to deliver the air to the room where the appliance is installed, each of the two openings should be sized based on a minimum free area of one square inch per 2000 Btu/hr (11cm2 per kW) (see FIG. 1-4).

3.If air is taken from another interior space that is adequately ventilated, each of the two openings specified above should have a net free area of one square inch for each 1000 Btu/hr (22cm2 per kW) of input, but not less than 100 square inches (645cm2) (see FIG. 1-5).

45,000 - 260,000 BTU/HR specifications

Lochinvar, a leader in high-efficiency heating solutions, presents the Lochinvar line of boilers, specifically the Lochinvar 45,000 - 260,000 BTU/HR models. These boilers are designed to meet a wide range of heating demands, making them ideal for residential and commercial applications alike.

One of the key features of the Lochinvar boilers is their impressive efficiency rating. Utilizing advanced condensing technology, these units can achieve efficiencies of up to 96% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). This high efficiency not only reduces fuel consumption but also lowers utility bills, making it a cost-effective solution for heating needs.

The Lochinvar boilers are equipped with a powerful heat exchanger constructed from durable stainless steel. This design not only maximizes heat transfer but also enhances the longevity of the unit. By preventing corrosion and minimizing maintenance requirements, the stainless steel heat exchanger ensures that the boiler operates at peak performance for years.

Another significant aspect of the Lochinvar boilers is their modulating burner system. This technology allows the boiler to adjust its output based on demand, ensuring that it only uses the energy necessary to maintain the desired temperature. This feature not only improves efficiency but also contributes to a more comfortable indoor environment by minimizing temperature fluctuations.

The Lochinvar series also showcases a user-friendly control interface. The advanced LCD display allows for easy monitoring and adjustment of system settings. Connectivity options are often included, providing the ability to integrate with modern building management systems for enhanced control and diagnostics.

Safety features abound in the Lochinvar models, which include built-in safeguards such as temperature and pressure relief valves, flame detection systems, and modulation cut-off to protect against overheating and other hazardous conditions.

Moreover, these boilers are designed for easy installation and maintenance. Compact dimensions and lightweight design facilitate straightforward setup, even in tight spaces. Additionally, users can take advantage of the unit’s self-diagnostic capabilities to simplify troubleshooting and reduce downtime.

In conclusion, the Lochinvar 45,000 - 260,000 BTU/HR boilers represent a pinnacle of innovation in heating technology. With high efficiency, advanced control systems, durable components, and safety features, they stand out as reliable and effective solutions for a variety of heating applications, ensuring comfort and efficiency in any environment.
