Installation for duct sharing
Forced exhaust type : FE
Duct sharing in a Communal Space
1) If the distance between the boiler and the duct shared by multiple boilers is more than 4 m, connect the
gas flue ducts to the shared duct. If the distance is less than 4 m, the gas flue duct must be exhausted separately.
2) The effective cross sectional area of the shared duct must be at least the area calculated by the following formula.
A = Q x 0.6 x K x F + P
The above A, Q, K, F, and P refer to the following:
A: Efficient cross sectional area of the shared flue duct(mm²), Q: Total heat input(kcal/h),
K: K-factor (Figure 1), F: proportion of simultaneous use of boilers (Figure 1),
P: Horizontal projected area of the gas flue duct(mm²)

3) The shared duct must be installed vertically without a turn, and have a circular or rectangular cross section
at below 1:1.4 ratio (width and height).
4) The number of the boilers connected to the shared duct on the same floor must be no more than 2.
5) The exhaust duct of a briquette stove or an oil-fired boiler must not be connected to the shared duct.
6) A conventional flue type boiler and a forced exhaust type boiler can not be connected to the same shared duct.
7) Install the FE type’s terminal of gas flue duct which has a closed end with side ventilation holes.
