本文介绍了一个项目的结果，该项目旨在为冷凝式和近冷凝式燃气器具的通风提供指南。ASHRAE手册中关于非冷凝系统的最新排气数据不适用。该指南是使用计算通风系统容量的计算机模型（VENT）编制的。该模型可以计算以下设备条件范围内的容量:输入:10000至1000万Btu/hr（2.931至2.931 103 Kw）通风口直径:1.5至12 in。直径（3.81至30.48厘米）高度:0至100英尺（0至30.48米）水平距离:0至100英尺（0至30.48米）通风压力:-0.5至10.0英寸（摄氏度），（-1.25'102至2英寸）。 排气温度:100、200和300华氏度（37.8、93.3和148.9摄氏度）。排气量数据为美国国家标准协会（ANSI）高效电器标准的制定提供了技术基础。这些信息将补充ASHRAE手册中关于非冷凝设备排气的数据。本文还介绍了指南，包括冷凝液处理、建筑材料以及这类燃气用具所需的其他通风系统注意事项。引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1984年，第90卷，pt。密苏里州堪萨斯城2B

This paper presents the results of a project aimed at providing guidelines for venting condensing and near-condensing type gas-fired appliances. Current vent data appearing in the ASHRAE Handbook for noncondensing systems are not applicable. The guidelines were prepared using a computer model (VENT) that calculates the capacity of vent systems. The model can calculate capacities for the following range of appliance conditions:Inputs: 10,000 to 10 million Btu/hr, (2.931 to 2.931 103 Kw)Vent diameters: 1.5 to 12 in. diameter, (3.81 to 30.48 cm)Height: 0 to 100 ft, (0 to 30.48 m)Horizontal distances: 0 to 100 ft, (0 to 30.48 m)Vent pressures: -0.5 to 10.0 in w.c., (-1.25' 102 to 2.49' 2.49' 103 Pa)Vent gas temperatures: 100, 200, and 300°F, (37.8, 93.3, and 148.9°C).The vent capacity data provide a technical base for the development of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards for high efficiency appliances. The information will supplement data already in the ASHRAE Handbook covering the venting of noncondensing appliances.This paper also presents guidelines covering condensate handling, materials of construction, and other vent system considerations required of this category of gas appliances.
