manual abstract
The minimum dimension of air openings shall be not less than 3 inches (80 mm). Combining spaces in different stories — The volumes of spaces in different stories shall be considered as communicating spaces where such spaces are connected by one or more openings in doors or floors having a total minimum free area of 2 in2/1000 Btuh (4400 mm2/kW) of total input rating of all appliances. Figure 4 Combustion and ventilation air openings — Boiler room partially or completely above grade Combustion air openings to outside Outdoor combustion air can be taken through permanent openings (TWO or ONE), as described in the following. The minimum dimension of air openings shall not be less than 3 inches (80 mm). Outside openings: TWO permanent openings method Two permanent openings, one commencing within 12 inches (300 mm) of the top and one commencing within 12 inches (300 mm) of the bottom of the enclosure shall be provided. The openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or spaces that Part No. 550-100-068/0308 Weil-McLain 88 Water and steam boilers — Series 2 — for Gas, Light Oil, & Gas/Light Oil-Fired Burners Before installing boiler (continued) freely communicate with the outdoors, as follows: • Where directly communicating with the outdoors or where communicating to the outdoors through vertical ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in2/4000 Btuh (550 mm2/kW) of total input rating of all appliances in the enclosure. • Where communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in2/2000 Btuh (1100 mm2/kW) of total input rating of all appliances in the enclosure. Outside openings: ONE permanent opening method One permanent opening, commencing within 12 inches (300 mm) of the top of the enclosure, shall be provided. The appliance shall have clearances of at least 1 in. (25 mm) from the sides and back and 6 inches (150 mm) from the front of the appliance. The opening shall directly communicate with the outdoors or shall communicate through a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with the outdoors and shall have a minimum free area of the following: (1) 1 in2/3000 Btu/hr (700 mm2 per kW) of the total input rating of all appliances located in the enclosure, and . . . (2) Not less than the sum of the areas of all vent connectors in the space. Combustion air — combination indoor and outdoor openings ANSI/NFPA 54 allows combustion air to be taken from a combination of openings to outside and to interior spaces. Follow all requirements of the standard to determine the minimum volume of interior spaces and to calculate minimum sizes of openings. Engineered Installations Engineered combustion air installations shall provide an adequate supply of combustion, ventilation, and dilution air and shall he approved by the authority having jurisdiction. Mechanical Combustion Air Supply Where all combustion air is provided by a mechanical air supply system, the combustion air shall be supplied from outdoors at the minimum rate of 0.35 ft3/minute per 1000 Btuh (0.034 m3/min per kW) for all appliances located within the space. • Where exhaust fans are installed in the building, additional air shall be provided to replace the exhausted air. • Each of the appliances served shall be interlocked to the mechanical air supply system to prevent main burner operation where the mechanical air supply system is not in operation. • Where combustion air is provided by the building’s mechanical ventilation system, the system shall provide the specified combustion air rate in addition to the required ventilation air. Louvers, Grilles, and Screens. The required size of openings for combustion, ventilation, and dilution air shall be based on the net free area of each opening. Where the free area through a design of louver or grille or screen is known, it shall be used in calculating the size opening required to provide the free area specified. Where the louver and grille design and free area are not known, it shall be assumed that wood louvers will have 25 percent free area, and metal louvers and grilles will have 75 percent free area. Non-motorized louvers and grilles shall be fixed in the open position. Minimum screen mesh size Screens shall not be smaller than . inch mesh. Motorized louvers Motorized louvers shall be interlocked with the appliance so they are proven in the full open position prior to main burner ignition and during main burner operation. Means shall be proved to prevent the main burner from igniting should the louver fail to open during burner startup, and to shut down the main burner if the louvers close during burner operation.
