What is Power Venting?
|
The SWG Power Venter is the safest,
most efficient power venter available today. SWG Power Venters are all ETL
and cETL listed for any LP gas, natural gas, or oil fired heating equipment.
The SWG combines the motor, blower, and vent hood in one complete, easy to
install unit. The SWG mounts on the outside of the building and pulls the
combustion gas from the appliance through the outside wall utilizing 100%
negative pressure. Benefits of the
The standard SWG Power Venter is designed for walls up to 8" thick. PEK extension kits allow the SWG to be installed in walls up to 16" thick. The PEK kit includes the inner/outer pipe extension, air flow damper and one foot of 1/4" aluminum tubing. It is available for models SWG-4 through SWG-8. |

Gas and oil heating
appliances generate heat through the combustion of fuel. The heat is
transferred through the heat exchanger and distributed to the conditioned
space. The products of combustion, however, must be vented safely out of the
structure. In a conventional chimney, venting is achieved by the natural
lifting action of the hot combustion gas. New, efficient systems absorb more
of the heat in the heat exchanger and produce lower temperature vent gas.
Lower temperature gas does not rise as quickly or as reliably as in older,
less efficient systems. Power venting or sidewall venting is more economical
and safe than chimney venting. A power venter uses a motorized blower to vent
the products of combustion. A power venter is interlocked with the appliance
to ensure that proper draft is achieved before the appliance burner is
activated.

SIZING THE VENTER - USE MAXIMUM BTU OR GPH INPUTSize the SWG venter based on the input
firing rate of the appliance. If the power venter is being used to vent
multiple appliances, add the input firing rates for each appliance and use
that total to size the venter. Knowing the total input BTU/HR for gas or GPH
for oil, the venter can be sized from table 1. Select the venter rated closest
to the total input BTU or GPH for installation. If the input of the appliance
is higher than the max allowable for that size SWG, move to the next larger
size SWG. Do not select a venter with a maximum BTU/HR or GPH lower than the
appliance. The equivalent feet of vent pipe for the installation must be
calculated (See Page 14). Based on the vent pipe diameter to be used, compare
the calculated equivalent feet of vent pipe with the maximum equivalent feet
allowable for the venter (See Table 1). If the calculated equivalent feet is
greater than that allowed for the venter, increase the diameter of the vent
pipe to be used and refer to the table or use the next larger size SWG venter. UNIT SIZING CHART |

NOTE:
Control Kits are required for operation of the SWG.
* Oil: Select venter according to the actual
rated maximum GPH input. SWG GPH ratings at 100 psi. Do not exceed maximum oil
GPH input. ** Gas: Do not exceed maximum BTU/HR input rating. For multiple
venting system applications add the input for each appliance. Category III
gas-fired draft induced systems require an SWG-5 or larger. 80+ gas-fired draft induced systems require an SWGII-4HD or larger. |
