Combustion Air Filtration System - IBC VX Series Installation & Operating Manual

To support combustion, an ample air supply is required. This may require direct openings in the
boiler room to the outside. If the boiler is not in a room adjacent to an outside wall, air may be
ducted from outside wall openings.
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must be made as follows:
in the USA, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition),
or applicable provisions of the local building codes
in Canada, in compliance with B149.1 (latest edition).

3.7.8 Combustion air filtration system

If combustion air contamination from ingested particulate matter is a concern in any installation,
an optional air intake filter may be installed. IBC-supplied air intake filters have a known pressure
drop and fouling factor and should be used as a component of the combustion air system
according to the allowable intake length in
