Gas boiler and room requirements, where it is established

As we already mentioned, Gas boiler room equipment may represent increased danger, therefore, to the room where it is installed imposes special requirements. A complete list of requirements for premises that occupies a gas boiler, can be found at RTN contacting the relevant building regulations - SNIP "Boilers" and "Gas supply".

Here are the most important requirements that enable to assess the prospects of gas heating organization at a particular facility. When the design or installation work is guided by the engineer must complete snip.

To accommodate gas boiler power up to 60 kW

can not allocate a separate room, is allowed in the kitchen installation. This category includes virtually all wall-hung boilers and some floor. kitchen room must have the following characteristics: the height of the ceiling is not less than 2.5 m, a volume 15mᶟ + 0,2mᶟ per kW of power of the boiler. Ventilation should provide triple room air per hour + air flow volume required for fuel combustion. A prerequisite is the presence of windows.

Gas boiler capacity of 150 kW

It can be located in a separate room on any floor or basement. The room should be to provide natural light, and its walls, in common with other building facilities must have a minimum fire resistance of 0.75 hours. The minimum ceiling height of 2.5 m, and the minimum amount of 15 m². Ventilation should provide breathability 3x for 1 hour + air necessary for the combustion process.

Under the boiler up to 350 kW

suitable room on the first or ground floor or basement. Ceiling height should be not less than 2.5 meters, the room should be a natural lighting. Fire protection wall common to adjacent premises should be more than 0.75 hours. Size of the room should provide easy access for maintenance. Forced-air ventilation should be calculated so as to provide for breathability triple 1 hour + air supply to the combustion gas.
If the room is a gas boiler is located on the first or ground floor, as well as in the basement, it should have a separate access to the street. The door leading from the boiler room in the interior of the house must be fire.

In some cases, such as for heating private houses already built, the best solution may be a separate room for the extension of the gas boiler. By the attached premises to present their demands, list them (boiler output up to 350 kW)

• the distance along the plane of the main wall of the building from an extension to the window or door openings must be greater than 1 meter;
• an extension wall must be structurally wall is connected with the main building;
• requirements for size rooms, ventilation lighting and so forth. meet the requirements for the premises built boiler of adequate capacity.
