13. It is the responsibility of the designer and installer of the venting system to
guarantee the prevention of ue gas recirculation (ue gases being drawn
into a boiler’s combustion air supply, or ue gases moving backward
through an idle boiler).
14. The installation of exhaust fans in a boiler room is not recommended.
15. An exhaust fan or similar equipment can create down draft in the stack or
restrict the burner’s air supply which will result in poor combustion. It is
essential that only fresh air is allowed to enter the combustion air system.
Foreign substances, such as combustible volatiles in the combustion
system can create hazardous conditions. If foreign substances can enter
the air stream, the boiler combustion air inlet must be piped to an outside
location.
16. Particulate matter or chemicals (example: chlorine, uorine,
perchlorethylene, halogenated compounds) in the combustion air
supply to the boiler will cause damage or failure to the burner. High-risk
situations for particulate matter to be in the air include construction and
maintenance activities. See Table 6.
NOTE: Pool and laundry area air may be contaminated with chlorine and uorine
compounds. If allowed to enter the conbustion air supply, these contaminants will
signicantly increase the acidity of ue gas condensate, potemtially damaging
heat transfer surfaces. Damage to the heat exchanger due to poor combustion air
quality is not covered under warranty.
17. In Canada, for recommended practice, refer to CSAB1
