BLOWDOWN: As steam is produced, unwanted solids areleft behind in the water and become concentrated within thevessel. If these constituents are allowed to adher to the heattransfer surfae they will impede the flow of energy. Theirremoval requires proper blowdown - either bottom, surface,or both. The table at left shows the recommended blowdowntank requirements for bottom blowdown. The surface blow-down requirement is relative to the level of TDS controldesired by the water treatment specialist. Local codes willdictate the manner of treating blowdown effluent.

Venting
Stack/Breeching Criteria
General - Under ANSI Z21.13 the Model CBT boiler can operate as a Category III or IV boiler as deemed appropriate for the application. The CBT boiler is nominally a Category III appliance (i.e. positive pressure, non-condensing).
Proper design and installation of the flue gas venting is critical to efficient and safe operation of the boiler. The vent should be designed with proper supports and clearances from combustible materials. Use insulated vent pipe spacers where the vent passes through combustible roofs and walls.
The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boiler stack connection as proper draft is critical to safe and efficient burner performance.
Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet is not required, it is necessary to size the breeching and stack to limit flue gas pressure variations. Consideration of the draft must be given whenever direct combustion air ducting is utilized and lengthy runs of breeching are employed. Please note: The allowable draft tolerance is negative 0.25" w.c. (-62 Pa) to a positive 0.10" w.c. (+25 Pa) for proper light offs and combustion. NOTE: This pressure range does not pertain to the boiler room; that is, the boiler room must be neutral or slightly pos-itive, never negative when using air from the boiler room for combustion.
For best performance, Cleaver-Brooks recommends individual stacks for multiple boiler installations.
For multiple CBT boilers in a common vented flue system, boiler flue isolation dampers are required. The com-mon flue system must maintain a negative draft condition at all times. In some cases, an active draft inducer system and/or modulating draft damper control may be necessary to ensure proper draft at each boiler's flue outlet.
Consult your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative for specific venting requirements.
Combustion Air - The burner must be supplied with adequate volume of uncontaminated air to support proper combustion and equipment ventilation. Air shall be free of chlorides, halogens, fluorocarbons, construction dust or other contaminants that are detrimental to the burner or boiler heating surfaces.
Combustion air can be supplied by means of conventional venting, that is, with combustion air drawn from the area immediately surrounding the boiler (boiler room is neutral or slightly positive pressure), or with a direct vent to outside the boiler room where air is drawn directly from the exterior of the building. Regardless of the method, all installations must comply with NFPA54 (the National Fuel Gas Code - NFGC) for U.S. installations and CAN/CSA B149.1 and B149.2 for Canadian installations.
Note: A boiler room exhaust fan is not recommended as this type of device can cause a negative pressure in the boiler room if using conventional air intake.
In accordance with NFPA 54, the required volume of indoor air shall be determined in accordance with the “Standard Method” or “Known Air Infiltration Rate Method”. Where air infiltration rate is known to be less than 0.40 Air Changes per Hour, the Known Air Infiltration Rate Method shall be used. (See the NFPA Handbook for additional information).
Engineered Design - When determining boiler room air requirements for an unconfined space the “Engineered Design” method may be used. Following this method, consideration must be given to the size of the room, air-flow and velocity of air as follows:
A. Two permanent air supply openings in the outer walls of the boiler room are recommended. Locate one at each end of the boiler room, preferably below a height of 7 feet. This allows air to sweep the length of the boiler

B. Air supply openings can be louvered for weather protection, but they should not be covered with fine mesh wire, as this type of covering has poor air flow qualities and is subject to clogging with dirt and dust.
C. A vent fan in the boiler room is not recommended as it could create a slight vacuum under certain conditions and cause variations in the quantity of combustion air. This can result in unsafe burner performance.
D. It is forbidden to have the total area of the air supply openings at less than one square foot.
E. Size the openings by using the formula (Area in ft2 = cfm/fpm), where cfm = cubic feet per minute of air; fpm = feet per minute of air.
F. Amount of air required (cfm):
1.Combustion Air = Maximum boiler horsepower (bhp) times 8 cfm.2.Ventilation Air = Maximum boiler horsepower (bhp) times 2 cfm.3.Total Air = 10 cfm per bhp (up to 1000 feet elevation, add 3% more per 1000 feet of added elevation).
G. Acceptable air velocity in the boiler room (fpm):
1.From floor to 7 feet high = 250 fpm.2.Above 7 feet from boiler room floor = 500 fpm.
Example of required air openings (Engineered Method):
Determine the area of the boiler room air supply openings for (2) 30 horsepower Model CBT boilers at 750 feet elevation. The air openings will be 5 feet above the floor level.
Total boiler horsepower (bhp): 30 x 2 = 60 bhpFrom F.3 above, total air required = 60 bhp x 10 = 600 cfm.Air Velocity: From G.1 above = 250 fpm.Area required: From the formula in E above, 600cfm/250fpm = 2.4 square feet total.Area/Opening: 2.4 divided by 2 = 1.2 ft2 per opening (2 required).
Consult local codes, which may supersede these requirements.
Direct Vent Combustion Air - If combustion air will be drawn directly from the outside by means of a duct connected to the boiler enclosure (“direct venting”) or directly to the burner air intake (“sealed combustion”), use the following guidelines:
1. Install combustion air duct in accordance with local codes and the boiler operating and maintenance man-ual.
2. Provide for adequate ventilation of the boiler room or mechanical equipment room.3. Duct material can be PVC or metallic vent material. It should be air tight to prevent in leakage of air during
operation.4. Maximum pressure drop for the duct shall not exceed 0.25" w.c. negative. If this pressure drop is exceeded
a larger size duct is recommended.5. Multiple boilers may be connected to a single duct with take-offs to each boiler.6. If the duct will run horizontally to an outside wall, it is recommended that the duct have a slight downward
slope away from the burner intake to prevent collected moisture from draining into the burner connection.7. If the outside air is dust-laden or the installation is near a heavily traveled roadway, it is recommended that
an air filter be installed to prevent intake of contaminants that could accumulate on the burner canister.
