2.5.2 General information for installation room (boiler room)
Boiler room characteristics
▪ There must not be a potentially explosive atmosphere in the boiler room as the
boiler is not suitable for use in potentially explosive environments.
▪ The boiler room must be frost-free.
▪ The boiler does not provide any light, so the customer must provide sufficient
lighting in the boiler room in accordance with national workplace design
regulations.

manufacturer.
▪ Danger of fire due to flammable materials.
No flammable materials should be stored near the boiler. Flammable objects (e.g.
clothing) must not be put on the boiler to dry.
▪ Damage due to impurities in combustion air.
Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents containing chlorine in the room where
the boiler is installed.
▪ Keep the air suction opening of the boiler free from dust.

Ventilation air for the boiler room should be taken from and expelled directly outside,
and the openings and air ducts should be designed to prevent weather conditions
(foliage, snowdrifts, etc.) from obstructing the air flow.

the following standards apply to the design and dimensions of the air ducts:
