C HAPTER 4 C OMBUSTION A IR The importance of combustion, dilution, and ventilation air

EXAMPLE OF COMBUSTION, DILUTION, AND VENTILATION AIR Dilution air Combustion air

N ATURAL DRAFT GAS FURNACE For every cubic foot of gas burned in a natural gas furnace you need approximately 21 ft.³of air. Some modern fan assisted combustion furnace systems do not need dilution air they still require approximately 15 ft.³ of air for each cubic foot of gas burned

H OW MUCH AIR IS THAT ? The amount of air can range between 1500 ft.³ per hour and 2100 ft.³ per hour for each 100,000 BTU per hour of gas input This air is needed to support the combustion and offending process of the appliance and to provide ventilation cooling for the casing and the internal controls.

O PENINGS NECESSARY FOR SUPPLY AIR FOR COMBUSTION WHEN APPLIANCES INSTALLED IN A CONFINED AREA

This section on combustion air will show you the proper methods of meeting these requirements.

T HE STANDARD METHOD This is the method we will be using. The standard method, which has been in the code since the 1950s, can be used for buildings that have a 0.40 air change per hour (ACH) or higher air infiltration rate. The minimum required volume shall be 50 ft.³ per 1000 BTUs per hour

T HE HISTORY OF COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS The first gas safety standard was published in The requirement for air for combustion was very brief its stated: no appliance designed to burn gas at a rate greater than ordinary lighting burner shall be installed in a room which is not adequately ventilated.

F OLLOWING W ORLD W AR II Gas for heating became very popular most of the housing was on a concrete slab so they put the furnaces in the closets so they didn’t take up a lot of room. This was the beginning of many code changes.

T HE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE CODE WAS IN 1969 This required that the opening be located within 12 inches of the top and 12 inches of the bottom of the enclosed room The use of two openings, high and low, to the outdoors still is present and practice today.

S PECIAL CONDITIONS CREATED BY MECHANICAL EXHAUSTING OR FIREPLACES Operation of exhaust fans, ventilation systems, clothes dryer’s, or fireplaces can create conditions requiring special attention to avoid unsatisfactory operation of the installed gas appliances.

F IVE METHODS TO SUPPLY COMBUSTION AIR 100% indoor air 100% outdoor air Combination of indoor and outdoor air Engineered systems Mechanical air supply

M AKEUP AIR REQUIREMENTS Makeup air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation systems, clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be considered in determining the amount of space to provide combustion air requirements

R OOM WITH FURNACE AND WATER HEATER This next slide shows a room in which a furnace and water heater are installed. We will look at the calculation worksheet which will show how to determine whether the space shown is confined or on confined space.

R OOM WITH FURNACE AND WATER HEATER

O UTDOOR COMBUSTION AIR Outdoor combustion air shall be provided through openings to the outdoors in accordance with the methods in or The minimum dimension of air openings shall not be less than 3 inches.

T WO PERMANENT OPENINGS METHOD Two permanent openings, one commencing within 12 inches of the top and one commencing within 12 inches of the bottom of the enclosed shall be provided Where openings are directly to the outdoors through vertical blocks each opening job a minimum of three area of 1 in.2/4000 Btu/hr of total into a rating of all and appliances in the enclosure Example on next slides

O NE PERMANENT OPENING METHOD One permanent opening, commencing within 12 inches of the top of the enclosure, shall be provided. The apply and shall have the clearance of it least 1 inch from the sides and the back and 6 inches from the front of the appliance. The opening shall be directly to the outdoors and show the vertical or horizontal talk to the outdoors or spaces that freely adjacent with the outdoors and shall have a minimum of three area of the following: 1 in 2/ 3000 BTUs /hr of the total into a reading of all appliances located in the enclosed area.

O NE PERMANENT OPENING METHOD

S IZING COMBUSTION AIR OPENINGS Where all combustion and ventilation air is taken from outdoors either directly by docs one or two method is permitted. The first method requires two openings or to docs either vertical or horizontal commencing within 12 inches of the ceiling and floor. The second method allows one opening.

Ducts must be the same area as the opening to which they connect. Vertical dogs or openings are sized at a minimum degree area of 1 in.2 per 4000 Btu/hr of the total appliance input installed in the space. The code requires horizontal ducts to have a minimum of three area of 1 in.2 per2000 Btu/hr of the total appliance input installed in the space

These openings or ducts and connect to spaces that freely are accessible to the outdoors. Vertical ducts allow a convection effect to occur, where warmer air gravitates out of the upper duct opening while the lower ducts introduces cooler air this convection effect provides a higher ACH and vertical ducts and then in horizontal ducts, where this effect is less pronounced.
