I know this has prob been discussed but I can't find the thread.
So my boss calls me today and says:
"Jay, I'm at blah blah property, you turned off a DFE as there was no vent?"
"Oh yeah" I say.
"How'd you work that one out, it's only 6kW?"
"All DFE's need a 100cm2 vent even if under 7kW" I say
"Nah, they use adventitious air" he says and reinstates the fire.
I've read my book 3 times now which clearly states that all DFE fires less than or equal to 20kW require a 100cm2 vent - unless MI's say otherwise. No MIs were available.
Am I right or am I wrong?
