AIR SUPPLY AND VENTILATION CONCENTRIC FLUE
SYSTEMS
e 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. ese air vents must either
communicate with a room or internal space or be direct to
outside air.
e 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 ooded or in any position adjacent to an
extraction system which is carrying ammable 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 ue
terminal.
Grilles and louvres should be so designed that high velocity
air streams do not occur within the space housing the
heater(s).
