C. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air
available for the appliance to operate properly. It can be
strongest in lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
•
Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
•
Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water
appliances and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
•
Location of return-air vents to furnace or air
conditioning
•
Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
•
Upper level air leaks such as:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
-
Duct leaks
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:
•
Install optional outside air kit with the intake facing
prevailing winds during the heating season
•
Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are
not located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance
•
Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
•
Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
•
Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and
seams taped or sealed
•
Basement installations should be avoided
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk.
• Negative pressure can cause spillage
of combustion fumes, soot and carbon
monoxide.
• Appliance needs to draft properly for
safety.
