GENERAL
3 VENTILATION
Safe, efficient and trouble-free operation of conventionally
flued gas boilers is vitally dependent on the provision of an
adequate supply of fresh air to the room in which the appliance
is installed.
Ventilation by grilles communicating directly with the outside
air is required at both high and low levels. The minimum free
areas of these grilles must be according to the following scale:
Position ventilation grilles to avoid the risk of accidental

obstruction by blockage or flooding. If further guidance on
ventilation is required then consult BS 6644.
The supply of air by mechanical means to a space housing
the boiler should be by mechanical inlet with natural or
mechanical extraction. Mechanical extract ventilation with
natural inlet must not be used.
Where a mechanical inlet and a mechanical extract system is
applied, the design ventilation flow rates should be as in BS
6644.
Note.
For mechanical ventilation systems an automatic control
should be provided to cause safety shutdown or lockout of
the boiler(s) in the event of failure of air flow in either inlet or
extract fans.
IMPORTANT.
The use of an extractor fan in the same room
as the boiler (or in an adjacent communicating room) can, in
certain conditions, adversely affect the safe operation of the
boiler.
Where such a fan is already fitted (or if it is intended to fit an
extractor fan after installation of the appliance) the advice of
the gas supplier should be obtained.
The temperature within a boiler room shall not exceed 25
o
C
within 100 mm of the floor, 32
o
C at mid height and 40
o
C within
100 mm of the ceiling.
Filling shall be performed with a low flow rate from a low point in
the boiler room in order to ensure that all the air in the boiler is
bled from the high point of the system.
Always stop the pump before filling.
IMPORTANT.
Instructions for starting up the boiler for the first
time after the system is fully or partly drained:
If all the air is not bled naturally to an expansion tank which is
open vented, the system must include manual bleed valves, in
addition to automatic air vents which bleed the system when it is
operating. The manual bleed valves are used to bleed all the high
points of the system and to make sure that the filled system is free
of air before the burner is turned on.
General
Recommendations relating to the water system are contained in
BS. 6880.

Note: Where a boiler installation is to operate in summer
months (e.g. DHW) additional ventilation requirements
are stated, if operating for more than 50% of time (refer
to BS6644).
