Anyone had much dealings with BBU's/fires and ceiling fans in same room?
I am aware the regs state that spillage test should be carried out with fan at all speeds etc., but this does not give any indication about the fans effect on the flue pull for the back boiler.
There have been a number of hospitalisations linked to spillage due to the fans but no clear legislation put in place that I am aware of.
The HSE has recomended that extensive tests be carried out to confirm no spillage, but even this is vague.
A friend of mine covered his behind and AR'ed a BBU/fire the other day because there was a large ceiling fan in room. Did not even go as far as to fully test with fan running. As far as he is concerned it is dangerous. End of. Informed tenant he would reinstate system once fan is diconnected or preferably removed.
