Air for combustion and ventilation
Adequate combustion and ventilation air ensures
proper combustion and reduces risk of severe
personal injury or death from possible flue gas
leakage and carbon monoxide emissions.
Do not install exhaust fan in furnace room.
Consider building construction
Older buildings with single-pane windows, minimal weather-stripping
and no vapor barrier often provide enough natural infiltration and
ventilation without dedicated openings.
New construction or remodeled buildings are most often built tighter.
Windows and doors are weather-stripped, vapor barriers are used
and openings in walls are caulked. As a result, such tight
construction is unlikely to allow proper natural air infiltration and
ventilation.
For buildings with tight construction, provide openings directly to
outside or to a ventilated crawl space or attic. Size the openings to
the same specifications as for the furnace location per the following
paragraphs.
Follow state, provincial or local codes when sizing adequate
combustion and ventilation air openings. In absence of codes, use
the following guidelines when furnace is in a confined room (defined
by NFPA 31 as less than 7200 cubic feet per 1 GPH input of all
appliances in area. A room 8 ft. high x 30.0 ft. x 30.0 ft. is 7200 cu.
ft.).
Provide two permanent openings
Openings locations
One within 12 inches of ceiling, one within 12 inches of floor.
Minimum height or length dimension of each rectangular opening
should be at least 3 inches.
When inside air is used:
Each opening must freely connect with areas having adequate
infiltration from outside. Each opening should be at least 140 sq. in.
per 1 GPH input (1 sq. in. per 1000 BTU input) of all fuel-burning
appliances plus requirements for any equipment that can pull air
from room (including clothes dryer and fireplace).
When outside air is used:
Connect each opening directly, by ducts to the outdoors, or to crawl
or attic space that freely connects with outdoors. Size per below:
• Through outside wall or vertical ducts – at least 35 sq. in. per 1
GPH input (1 sq. in. per 4000 BTU input) of all fuel burning
appliances plus requirements for any equipment that can pull air
from room (including clothes dryer and fireplace).
• Through horizontal ducts – at least 70 sq. in. per 1 GPH furnace
input (1 sq. in. per 2000 BTU input) of all fuel-burning appliances
plus requirements for any equipment that can pull air from room
(including clothes dryer and fireplace).
• Where ducts are used, they should have the same crosssectional area as free area of openings to which they connect.
Compensate for louver, grille or screen blockage when
calculating free air openings. Refer to the manufacturers’
instructions for details. If unknown, use:
• Wood louvers, which provide 20-25% free air.
• Metal louvers or grilles, which provide 60-75% free air.
Lock louvers in open position or interlock with equipment to
prove open before furnace operation.
Basement installations
When the furnace is located in an unconfined space, such as an
unpartitioned basement, adequate air should normally be available
without additional openings. An unconfined space is defined as one
having no less than 50 cubic feet room volume per 1,000 BTU/h
input of all appliances in the space.
If the house is of tight construction, provide air openings to the
basement directly from outside or from a ventilated attic. Size the
openings as described above under “When outside air is used”.
Closet installations – special NOTICE
Openings in closet doors
Provide TWO openings – one within 6 inches of top of closet door,
the other within 6 inches of the bottom of closet door.
EACH opening must be at least 24 inches wide by 12 inches high.
Advise homeowner that the openings to the closet
must never be obstructed or blocked in any way.
Failure to provide adequate air for combustion and
ventilation could result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.

General
Ensure that the finished door opening to the furnace room is large
enough to install and remove the furnace, water heater or any other
appliances in the room.
Before placing furnace in a closet or small room, cut all openings
required in floor, ceiling or walls for ducts and vent. This will simplify
the work and prevent construction dust from entering the furnace
heat exchanger.
Verify that all clearances to combustible construction
and for service accessibility will be met. The vent
must be no closer than 18 inches to any combustible
surface unless a type “L” double-wall vent pipe is
used or the vent is constructed per the requirements
of the NFPA 31. Provide a ventilated thimble per all
applicable codes where vent pipe passes through
wall or ceiling. Failure to comply could result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial property
Duct locations and sizing
Verify that the size of the supply and return duct system is sufficient
for the application. The pressure drop through the duct system must
not exceed 0.2” water column. The total drop through the duct
system and air conditioning condensing coil (if used) must not
exceed 0.5” water column.
See suggested duct sizing in this manual. For more detailed sizing
information, refer to ACCA Manual D.

Blocked Vent Shut-Off (BVSO) for chimney venting
(OPTIONAL)
It is imperative that this device be installed by a
qualified agency.
This device is designed to detect the insufficient evacuation of
combustion gases in the event of a vent blockage. In such a case
the thermal switch will shut down the oil burner. The device will then
need to be re-armed MANUALLY.
In the event that the BVSO repetitively shuts down the oil burner, a
qualified technician needs to evaluate the cause of this shut down.
Refer to the figures 3 to 5 at section 6, Wiring Diagrams and detailed
instructions supplied with the BVSO for the installation and wiring
procedures.
It is also essential that the BVSO be maintained annually.

Duct sizing
Determine airflow CFM
The temperature rise through the furnace must not exceed 85oF and
should be at least 55
assume a temperature rise of 70
The noticeable temperature change for cooling would be
approximately 27-30
approximately 18-21
To calculate the noticeable heat temperature change (ΔT), you can
use the formula:
ΔT = BTU/h/(1.1 x CFM) Eq. 3-1
To calculate airflow when you know temperature change (ΔT), you
can use:
CFM = BTU/h/(1.1 x ΔT) Eq. 3-2
You can estimate airflow using the following rules of thumb:
Heating: 14 CFM per 1,000 BTU/h output Eq. 3-3
Cooling: 400 CFM per ton air conditioning Eq. 3-4
Determine the required airflow based on whichever is larger –
heating mode or air conditioning mode.
Examples:
1. What would the temperature rise be for a 100,000 BTU/h output
furnace with an airflow rate of 1200 CFM?
Use Equation 3-1 since you know CFM and BTU/h:
ΔT = 100,000/(1.1 x 1200) = 76
• The temperature rise would be 76
• If the air enters the furnace at 70
furnace at 70
2. What would the airflow be to obtain a 70
120,000 BTU/h output furnace?
Use equation 3-2 since you know ΔT and BTU/h:
CFM = 120,000/(1.1 x 70) = 1,558 CFM
• The airflow would have to be 1,558 CFM to obtain a
temperature rise of 70
3. Estimate the required airflow for a 75,000 BTU/h output furnace
installed with a 2-ton air conditioning evaporator coil.
• The larger number is 1,050 CFM (heating), so the duct
system should be sized for 1,050 CFM.
• The supply duct would need to be 16” round or a rectangular
equivalent such as 8” x 25” or 12” x 16”, using Table 4,
page 8.
4. Estimate the required airflow for the same furnace installed with
a 4-ton air conditioning evaporator coil.
Heating mode airflow is still 1,050 CFM.
Cooling mode airflow (use Equation 3-4):
CFM = 4 x 400 = 1,600 CFM
• The larger number is 1,600 CFM (cooling), so the duct
system should be sized for 1,600 CFM.
• The supply duct would need to be 18” round or a rectangular
equivalent such as 8” x 36” or 12” x 21”, using Table 4,
page 9.

Always check the size of existing ducts, particularly
if you are adding air conditioning. The air pressure
loss through the cooling evaporator coil reduces
available airflow. If the ducts are too small as well,
the system may not work satisfactorily on either
heating or cooling.
Determine duct dimensions
Table 4, page 9, and Table 5, page 10, provide typical round and
rectangular duct sizes for rectangular and flat oval galvanized ducts.
Do not apply these tables to size ductwork if the total equivalent
length of the duct exceeds approximately 100 feet. For longer
systems or for ductboard, fiberglass-lined or flexible duct sizing, use
the ACCA Manual D or the ACCA duct sizing slide rule. These
tables are based on pressure loss of approximately 0.10” water
column per 100 feet equivalent length of duct.
Use Table 3 below to size or check sizing of take-offs to supply
registers or return grills.
Verify the size and type of registers, diffusers and grills from the
manufacturer’s ratings. Do not exceed the recommended flow rate.
The pressure drop allowance for each should not exceed
approximately 0.05” water column.
Install a return air filter, sized per specifications in Section 12.
Use only a return air filter mounted to the furnace. Do not add
additional filters unless the duct system is carefully sized to allow for
the additional pressure drop.
Do not apply this table for duct systems over approximately 100 equivalent feet in length. For longer systems or systems
using other duct materials, refer to ACCA Manual D. Incorrectly sizing duct systems can result in unsafe or uncomfortable
operation.
