AIR SUPPLY BY MECHANICAL VENTILATION
Mechanical ventilation systems serving the area containing the boiler should be designed
with an extraction air rate of 0.45 m
3
/sec per 1000 kW total rated input, and an inlet air
rate of 1.1 m
3
/sec per 1000 kW total rated heat input.
Systems employing an extract fan only must not be used, whereas the use of a single inlet
fan, or an inlet together with an extract fan is acceptable.
All air inlet and extract fans should be electrically interlocked to cause safety shut-down
or lock-out of the boiler in the event of malfunction of either fan.
The requirements of mechanical ventilation schemes is fully outlined in BS.6644.
