Air For Combustion
And Ventilation
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a confined spaceorunusuallytightconstructionunlessprovisionsareprovided for adequate combustion and ventilationair.Readthefollowing instructionstoinsureproperfresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.
113109-01C |
www.desatech.com |
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
Continued
While it is good to make your home energy effi- cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home.All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three fol- lowing ventilation classifications:
1.Unusually Tight Construction
2.Unconfined Space
3.Confined Space
The information on pages 5 through 7 will help you classifyyourspaceandprovideadequateventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ven- tilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:
a.walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed and
b.weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors and
c.caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings.
If your home meets all of these three criteria, you must provide additional fresh air. See
Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 7.
If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms com- municating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if therearedoorlesspassagewaysorventilationgrills between them.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR Heater LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or
Unconfined Space
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install fireplace plus any adjoining rooms with doorless pas- sageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
1.Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).
Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.
2.Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
___________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi- mum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 = 51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
3.Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

__________Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maxi- mum Btu/Hr the space can support.You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A.Reworkworksheet,addingthespaceofanadjoin- ingroom.Iftheextraspaceprovidesanunconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building.
B.Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors.
C.Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, 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 uncon- fined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
WARNING:Iftheareainwhich the fireplace may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustionandventilationairby one of the methods described in theNationalFuelGasCode,ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining un- confined space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two perma- nent 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 3).You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 3). 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.
