V Air for Combustion and Ventilation
Sucient fresh air must be supplied for combustion, ventilation, and ue gas dilution. Provisions for an adequate fresh air
supply must be made in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of such codes, the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/
ANSI Z223.1). In Canada, refer to the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (CAN/CSA 149.1).
The National Fuel Gas Code describes three basic ways to supply this boiler with adequate fresh air:
Indoor Combustion Air – Combustion air is drawn into the boiler room from other parts of the building and from the outdoors
through natural inltration (cracks under doors, etc). This method can not be used in all cases – see discussion below.
Outdoor Combustion Air – Combustion air is brought directly into the boiler room from outdoors through ducts or grills sized
and installed specically for this purpose.
Mechanical Combustion Air Supply – Combustion air is brought into the room from outdoors using a blower system that is
engineered specically for this purpose.
Each of the above methods is described in more detail in the following sections. The National Fuel Gas Code also describes
some acceptable variations on these techniques that do not appear here.
Using the Indoor Combustion Air Method
1) Total the input of all appliances in the boiler room in thousands of BTU/hr.
2) Find the volume of the boiler room in cubic feet:
Volume (ft
3
) = Length (ft) x Width (ft) x Height (ft)
If the boiler room adjoins another room and there is no door present between these two rooms, add the volumes of the
