AIR SUPPLY AND VENTILATION
CONCENTRIC FLUE SYSTEMS
The following notes are intended to give guidance:
Where the heater is to be installed in a room, NO VENTS
ARE REQUIRED.
Where the heater is to be installed in a COMPARTMENT,
permanent air vents are required in the COMPARTMENT
at high and low level. These air vents must either
communicate with a room or internal space or be direct
to outside air.
The minimum effective areas of the permanent air vents
required in the compartment are as follows:
Air vents should have negligible resistance and must not
be sited in any apposition where they are likely to be
easily blocked or flooded or in any position adjacent to an
extraction system which is carrying flammable vapour.
Consideration must be given to the position of the high
level ventilation opening. A high level vent must not be
sited within 300mm (1ft), measured vertically, of the flue
terminal.
Grilles and louvres should be so designed that high
velocity air streams do not occur within the space
housing the heater(s).
