Boiler Room Requirements - SAS BIO SOLID 19 Operation And Maintenance Manual

The boiler room in which the central heating boiler is installed must meet
current specific regulations in force in a country of destination (e.g. PN-87/B-02411
Heating. Built in boiler house for solid fuel. Requirements).
NOTICE: Use of mechanical ventilation is unacceptable.
• boilers should be located possibly centrally to heated rooms, and the
boiler should be placed as closely as possible to a chimney;
• an entrance door should open to the outside of the room and must be
constructed of non-flammable materials;
• the boiler room of heat capacity up to 25 kW should be equipped with
supply ventilation in form of a nonclosing aperture of at least 200 cm
• the boiler room of heat capacity above 25 kW should be equipped with
a supply duct of cross-section no less than 50% of a chimney cross-sec-
tion area, however, no less than 20x20 cm with an outlet at a height up to
1 m above the floor level in the back part of the room; a device controlling
air flow should be installed in a supply aperture or duct, however, it sho-
uld not reduce the cross-section to less than 1/5 (no supply ventilation or
its obstruction may result in such events as smoke formation or inability
to reach higher temperature);
• the boiler room of heat capacity up to 25 kW should be equipped with
exhaust ventilation (a duct of non-flammable material) under a room
ceiling of a cross-section no less than 14x14 cm
• the boiler room of heat capacity above 25 kW should be equipped with
an exhaust duct of cross-section no less than 50% of a chimney cross-
-section area, however, no less than 14x14 cm (the exhaust ventilation
removes harmful gases from the room);
• the exhaust ventilation duct should be routed above a roof level and
located close to the chimney. No closing devices should be installed on
the exhaust duct. The ventilation duct must be made of non-flammable
material.
• The boiler room should be provided with natural and artificial lighting.
FOR SAFETY REASONS IT IS RECOMMENDED TO EQUIP THE BO-
ILER ROOM WITH A CARBON OXIDE (CO) AND A SMOKE SEN-
SORS.
