4.3 Combustion Air
Page 17
Mascot FT boilers must have provisions for combustion and ventilation air in accordance with the applicable requirements for Combustion Air Supply and Ventilation in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223 1; or in Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1. All applicable provisions of local building codes must also be adhered to.
A Mascot FT unit can take combustion air from the
spaceinwhichitisinstalled,orthecombustionair
can be ducted directly to the unit. Ventilation air must be provided in either case.
4.3.1 Combustion Air from Room
In the United States, the most common requirements specify that the space shall communicate with the outdoors in accordance with method 1 or 2, which follow. Where ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross­sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they connect.
Method 1: Two permanent openings, one commencing
within 12” (300mm) of the top and one commencing within 12” (300mm) of the bottom, of the enclosure shall be provided. The openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with the outdoors. When directly communicating with the outdoors, or when communicating to the outdoors through vertical ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4000 Btu/hr (550 square mm/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. When communicating to the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of not less than 1 square inch per 2000 Btu/hr (1100 square mm/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.
Method 2: One permanent opening, commencing
within 12” (300mm) of the top of the enclosure, shall be permitted. The opening shall directly communicate with the outdoors or shall communicate through a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors or spaces that directly communicate with the outdoors and shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 3000 Btu/hr (734 square mm/kW) of the total input rating of all equipment located in the enclosure. This opening must not be less than the sum of the areas of all vent
connectors in the conned space.
Other methods of introducing combustion and ventilation air are acceptable, providing they conform to the requirements in the applicable codes listed above.
In Canada, consult local building and safety codes or, in absence of such requirements, follow CAN/CGA B149.1
4.3.2 Ducted Combustion Air
The combustion air can be taken through the wall, or through the roof. When taken from the wall, it must be taken from out-of-doors by means of the LAARS horizontal wall terminal. When taken from the roof, a
eld-supplied rain cap or an elbow arrangement must
be used to prevent entry of rain water. Use ABS, PVC, CPVC, polypropylene, or galvanized
pipe for the combustion air intake. Route the intake to the boiler as directly as possible. Seal all joints. Provide adequate hangers. The unit must not support the weight of the combustion air intake pipe. Maximum linear pipe length allowed is shown in Table 6. Subtract 5 allowable linear ft. (1.5m) for every elbow used.
The connection for the intake air pipe is at the top of the unit.
In addition to air needed for combustion, air shall also be supplied for ventilation, including air required for comfort and proper working conditions for personnel.
