Balanced compartment boilerhouse

[Sent1981]

Hi,
I have a balanced compartment boiler house, fitted with 3 forced draught open flued boilers, is this acceptable?
Don't have access to ige/up/10 to double check, and the literature I do have is very light on the subject.

Thank you.

Where’s the combustion air coming from ?

A large high level box that vents make up the sides it protrudes out the roof line, the flue then passes through the top of this.

And the vents allow enough air for combustion and cooling etc ?

Eg net x 10 cm2

Yes they do, it has door switches also

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Fine providing the vents are clear eg 600mm and the room is sealed so inspect door seals etc it’s good they’ve got a interlock on the door

Thank you for your help,
someone has cut air vents low level in the doors (2 years ago, which the installation is 24 years old)
which i believe is effecting the combustion of the boilers.
I highlighted this issue, to which I'm being dragged over the coals "as it isn't a balanced compartment" as "you cant have forced draft burners in a balanced compartment" referencing igem documents he knows I don't have access to.
But my onsite reference books and British standards don't mention it.
Many thanks
