ISO 11105:2020 Ventilation Calculator

Petrol engine and tank compartment ventilation requirements

Launch Calculator

About This Calculator

The ISO 11105:2020 ventilation calculator determines the minimum ventilation requirements for compartments containing petrol engines and/or petrol tanks on small craft. This comprehensive tool calculates both natural and powered ventilation requirements based on compartment volume and equipment specifications.

Multiple Compartment Types

Calculate ventilation for engine compartments, tank compartments, or combined compartments with automatic formula selection.

Natural & Powered Ventilation

Determine requirements for both natural ventilation openings and powered ventilation systems per ISO 11105 standards.

Duct Sizing Calculations

Automatically calculate minimum duct cross-sectional areas for inlet and outlet ventilation systems.

Compliance Verification

Instant pass/fail indicators showing whether your ventilation design meets ISO 11105:2020 requirements.

Important Notice

This calculator is provided as a design aid for ventilation systems. All ventilation installations must be inspected and verified by qualified marine surveyors. Proper installation and testing are critical for safety and certification compliance.

ISO 11105:2020 Standard

ISO 11105:2020 specifies requirements for the design and installation of ventilation systems for compartments containing petrol engines and/or petrol tanks on small craft. Proper ventilation is essential to prevent the accumulation of explosive fuel vapors.

Ventilation Requirements Covered:
  • Natural ventilation calculations based on compartment gross volume
  • Powered ventilation flow rate requirements
  • Engine compartment ventilation (based on engine power)
  • Tank compartment ventilation (based on tank capacity)
  • Combined compartment calculations
  • Inlet and outlet duct sizing requirements
  • High and low-level ventilation positioning
  • Flame arrestor and weatherproof cowl specifications

Who Should Use This Calculator?

Yacht Builders

Design compliant ventilation systems during vessel construction. Ensure all petrol-related compartments meet safety standards.

Marine Engineers

Calculate ventilation requirements for engine installations and fuel system designs. Verify compliance before commissioning.

Marine Surveyors

Verify ventilation compliance during surveys and inspections. Generate documentation for certification purposes.

Naval Architects

Integrate proper ventilation requirements into vessel design specifications and general arrangements.

Need Professional Ventilation Inspection?

While this calculator helps with design calculations, ventilation systems require professional inspection and certification.
