Hello,
I have a query on the primary parameters required to size boiler room combustion air and ventilation air equipment. Would you please provide comments/feedback if I would require to consider any additional parameters than the following to size combustion air and ventilation air equipment for a boiler room:
1. The boiler room has Oil-fired furnace, 6.4 GPH, 924,000 BTU. The boiler has separate flue duct that exhausts to the building exterior.
2. The boiler room does not have direct access to the building exterior. No louvered boiler room door.
3. The boiler room dimensions are 9.5' (W) x 20' (L) x 8' (H).
Would I also need to consider factors such as:
1. Ventilation equipment to maintain either balanced or slightly positive pressure in the boiler room.
2. Have separate fan to bring combustion air from building exterior into the boiler room and separate exhaust air fan to maintain temperature in the boiler room.
3. Any consideration for combustion air fan be linked to the boiler, so that it opens the damper only if the boiler is in operation. Also thermostatically control the exhaust air fan.
I would appreciate your feedback and any special cases and formulas I should consider to size the combustion air and ventilation air system.
Thank you.
