BOILER ROOMLightingThe boiler room should be well lighted and should have a source of emergency lighting. Ifa flashlight is used for this purpose, it should be maintained in usable condition, and itshould not be removed from the boiler room.Water S<strong>up</strong>ply and Drain ConnctionsConvenient water s<strong>up</strong>ply connectins for flushing the boiler and cleaning the boiler roomfloor should be installed.Unobstructed floor drains, properly located in the boiler room floor, will aid in the propercleaning of the boiler room.Make-<strong>up</strong> AirThe burner must have adequate air s<strong>up</strong>ply, which must be kept clear at all times. Do notrun exhaust fans in the immediate proximity of the boiler room, as they will cause a reversalof draft at the burner. Ensure that sufficient make-<strong>up</strong> air is available, even if that requiresa window to the outside to be left open. This air is necessary to insure complete combustion,a clean fire, and to prevent nuisance shutdowns due to excessively dirty burner parts.Air from the outside may be provided through ducts, fixed louvers, or motorized louvers.WARNING:WITHOUT SUFFICIENT MAKE-UP AIR, THE BOILER WILL NOT OPERATEPROPERLY, AND BURNER COMPONENT DAMAGE COULD OCCUR.To calculate the required fresh air opening to the outside, allow 21 square inches for everyboiler horsepower. For example a ten-horsepower boiler would require two hundred andten square inches of free opening. This is equal to a 15" x 15" square hole, or a 18" diameterround hole of free, unrestricted area. If louvers or screens are used, contact the manufacturerfor percentages (typically around 40%) that must be added to allow for restriction.The following table can be used to size the amount of free area needed for the varioussizes of <strong>CT</strong> boilers. A point to remember for round openings - two 10" round openings DONOT equal one 20" round opening. Four 10" round openings are needed to obtain thesame amount of free area.<strong>Columbia</strong> <strong>Boiler</strong> Company will not be held liable for damage to theboiler or burner compnents caused by insufficient burner make <strong>up</strong>air.FM-148 COLUMBIA BOILER COMPANY, REV 6-06- 18 -
