Fixtures & Water Heaters第 72 / 120 题
A 100,000 Btu/h water heater is placed in a closet and will take combustion air from inside the building only. Using the rule of thumb of 50 cubic feet of room volume per 1,000 Btu/h, what minimum volume of communicating space is needed?
a.2,000 cubic feet
b.3,000 cubic feet
c.5,000 cubic feet
d.10,000 cubic feet
解析
Dividing 100,000 by 1,000 gives 100, and 100 times 50 cubic feet equals 5,000 cubic feet of communicating volume. 2,000 and 3,000 cubic feet come from applying a 20 or 30 cubic foot factor that the standard indoor air method does not use. 10,000 cubic feet doubles the requirement and would only be relevant if two such appliances shared the space.
