Room Ventilation Conditions; Ventilation Openings. Models With Steam Or Electric Heating - GIRBAU PB32 Series Installation, Operation And Maintenance Instructions Manual

3.4. Room ventilation conditions

CAUTION!
THE VENTILATION ON THE PREMISES MUST COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS CURRENTLY IN
FORCE IN THE COUNTRY IN WHICH THE MACHINE IS TO BE INSTALLED AND MUST BE APPROVED
BY A COMPETENT TECHNICIAN.
IN COUNTRIES WHERE THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE VENTILATION OF
PREMISES WITH GAS HEATING, THE VENTILATION CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 3.4.1 and
3.4.2 ARE RECOMMENDED.
THIS IRONER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN PREMISES WITHOUT ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
INADEQUATELY VENTILATED PREMISES CAN SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE PEOPLE'S HEALTH.
ALWAYS KEEP THE VENTILATION SYSTEM CLEAR.
NEVER PLACE OBJECTS IN PLACES WHERE THEY CAN OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION OPENINGS
ON THE PREMISES.
In the case of there being various forced exhaust and/or convection equipment or boilers on the same premises,
the complete section of the opening to the outside must amount to at least the sum of the ventilation sections for
each piece of equipment.
To avoid the presence of crossed air currents never install equipment with convection ventilation between
forced exhaust equipment and the ventilation openings.
DANGER!
DRY CLEANING MACHINES
THE INSTALLATION OF DRY CLEANING MACHINES AND IRONERS WITH GAS HEATING IN THE SAME
PREMISES IS INCOMPATIBLE.
SOME DRY CLEANING MACHINES IN POOR CONDITION MAY EMIT GASES FROM SOLVENTS INTO
THE LOCAL ATMOSPHERE, AND THESE, ON INTERACTING WITH TEMPERATURE, MAY BECOME
HIGHLY TOXIC AND CORROSIVE GASES. EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN IN THE MAINTENANCE
OF THESE MACHINES.
3.4.1. Ventilation openings. Models with steam or electric
heating
To replace the air used by vapour extraction the premises
must be sufficiently ventilated. (Fig. 3.2).
Refer to vapour extraction flow (value EV) in Chapter 4:
Technical and connection data for the machine.
As a piece of guiding information, the premises should be
ventilated with openings of 1,300 cm² (1.74 sq.ft.).
In openings protected with a deflector grille, the opening
2
should be 1,800 cm (1.94sq.ft).
In the case of rectangular air openings, the longest side
must not be more than double the length of the smaller side.
This opening must be located close to the ironer and near
the floor.
The ventilation air openings must not come into contact with
the possible air cavities in the walls.
