AIR SUPPLY
Air supply openings are required to admit air and shall be located below the radiant heaters.
The total area of the unobstructed cross-sections of all the air supply openings shall not be smaller than the total
area of the unobstructed cross-sections of all the exhaust openings.
Slits and gaps of fixed cross-section can also be used as air supply openings.
Where the air supply openings can be closed, it shall only be possible to operate the radiant heaters when they
are open.
B. FLUED
C. FLUED
If the appliance is to be flued externally, then flue pipe of diameter stated in Table 18 should be used. The flue
pipe must comply with National and Local Regulations.
IMPORTANT: When flued horizontally, the flue pipe must be arranged to provide a continuous rise from the
appliance of 25mm per 1m length.
The ventilation requirements for flued appliances are set out in BS 6896 (latest edition) and must be applied. In
buildings having a design air change rate of less than 0.5/h additional ventilation is required. These
requirements only apply to type B systems. The following is guidance to the standard:
NATURAL VENTILATION
Low level ventilation openings shall be provided with a free area of at least 2cm
heater(s).
Where the air supply openings can be closed, it shall only be possible to operate the radiant heaters when they
are open.
MECHANICAL VENTILATION
Sufficient ventilation air shall be provided to ensure that the building air change rate is at least 0.5/h.
D. FLUE AND COMBUSTION AIR CONFIGURATIONS
