CHAPTER 18
1965 Guide And Data Book
Additional air is required to replace air entering chimneys through draft hoods and barometric draft dampers, and also to provide ventilation in closely confined boiler and furnace rooms.
Experience has shown that the ventilating air openings
required in heater rooms depend not only on the size of the heating plant but also on the type of fuel being burned, the relative size of the equipment room, the tightness of building construction, and the operation of exhaust fans or other devices which affect the static pressure in a building.
Because of the number of variables involved in establish* ing air requirements, and the variations in building con traction and arrangement, there is no universally accepted rule for providing ventilating openings. However, the im portance of providing proper ventilation should not be underestimated, and a failure to do so may result in erratic or even dangerous operating conditions for equipment
Rules for providing air supply openings are found in technical standards, in state and municipal building codes and in service and installation bulletins published by various manufacturers of fuel-burning appliances.
The following brief rules may be used as a guide:
1. Residential hating equipment installed in unconfined spaces in buildings of conventional construction does not ordi narily require ventilation other tKn normal air infiltration.
2. Commercial heating equipment installed in unconfined
spaces with inadequate infiltration requires openings to outside
equal to the total area of flue outlets on all fuel-burning equip ment in the space.
3. Residential heating equipment installed in confined space having unusually tight construction requires two openings to the outside. Free area must not be h-- than 1 Bq in. per 4000 Btu
per hr input with vertical ducts or 1 sq in. per 2000 Btu per hr
with horizontal ducts. Upper openings should be in the ceiling or as high as possible in the ride wall; lower opening should be in the floor or wall below combustion area inlet to appliance.
4. Commercial heating equipment in a
space having in
adequate infiltration requires two openings to the outside, each
pot teas than 1 sq in. free area per 5000 Btu per hr input. Open
ings shall be located above highest draft how relief opening or
draft regulator opening and below combustion air inlet to heating
equipment respectively.
5. Operation of exhaust fans, or kitchen fans, usually requires that sufficient fresh air be admitted to the boiler room to over come any negative pressure. Fireplaces may also require special wnngMemtinn,
