Does the Mynute Gas Boiler Require Ventilation?

johnwest288

I have a Mynute 14SE which is in a tiny room akin to a Large wardrobe size room. Im wondering where exactly does the Mynute get its oxygen to burn properly in such a confined space? On the outside wall there is only a hot gas expulsion pipe and a small water overflow pipe.
The room has no air entry paths except for the crack along the bottom of the door. I have looked at the boiler in general and dont see any air intake grills.
The boiler appears to be working ok But im just curious as to how it works as afaik any kind of combustion requires oxygen!
Yours puzzled

It's a room sealed appliance, hence no ventilation is required.
If you look closely at the flue you will see it has two parts, the outer section provides air for combustion, and the inner is for exhaust.

Also if the boiler is confined in a small space ventilation may be required for cooling of the appliance even tho the boiler is room sealed.

Vokrea Mynute 14se manual clearly states that this appliance does NOT require any compartment ventilation (i.e. cooling air) and under IS813 Table 6 (page 44) states that if the manufacturer states this, then compartment ventilation can be omitted.

This boiler is a room seal balanced flue appliance and should have been fitted with a balanced flue (flue within a flue type) the outer flue is the combustion air intake, the inner flue is the exhaust gas, and the air intake is ducted internally around the interior of the combustion chamber and used for cooling before being used for combustion.
