    FLUE SYSTEMS 4-A: Important Notice Because of the improved efficiencies of boilers under E.U. Efficiency requirements and OFT A100 Standard, it is necessary to pay extra special attention to flues and chimneys. The improved efficiency figures achieved by modern oil boilers are attained by using more of the heat (higher temperatures) heretofore allowed into flues and chimneys.

  • Page 18 FLUE SYSTEMS 4-E Ventilation and Combustion Air 1. Conventional Flue Boilers An adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air is essential for efficient and safe boiler operation and the openings for this should be positioned to cause least possible draught, with no possibility of being accidentally blocked.
