12)  VENTILATION 

 

 

 
Where  unvented  infrared  heaters  are  used,  natural  or  mechanical  means  shall  be  provided  to  supply  and 
exhaust at least 4 cfm per 1000 Btu per hr input of installed heaters. 
 
Exhaust openings for removing flue products shall be above the level of the heaters. 
 
This heater requires ventilation in the building to dilute the product of combustion and provide fresh air for 
efficient combustion.  Power ventilation is recommended, and the minimum vent flow required is as follows: 

 

 

RSCA3 = 109 cfm 

RSCA6 = 218 cfm 

RSCA10 = 436 cfm
