boiler ventilation

[AndyBill]

Hi,
my boiler manual says cooling ventilation is required and should refer to BS 5440-2 as my boiler is enclosed in a downstairs cupboard.

its a Biasi 28SE combi

the vent is in the suspended timber floor and there is air bricks around the house.
could the vent be through the cupboard door instead of to the outside?

(as its a bit of a chilly draught coming up through the vent !)


cheers
andy

 

[cross thread]

yes cooling air can come from inside,manafactures will state a size, high and low level vent

I wouldnt be worrying too much about the ventilation on a room sealed boiler unless you are suffering from obvious heat damage
