ISO 11105 Ventilation Calculator

Professional ventilation calculation tool for marine vessels

Launch Calculator

About This Calculator

The ISO 11105 Ventilation Calculator is a professional tool designed for calculating ventilation requirements for small craft in accordance with ISO 11105:1997 standards. This free calculator helps yacht builders, marine surveyors, and naval architects determine proper ventilation rates for engine compartments, fuel tank spaces, and accommodation areas.

Engine Compartment Ventilation

Calculate required ventilation rates based on engine power rating. Ensures adequate combustion air and cooling for safe engine operation.

Fuel Tank Space Ventilation

Determine ventilation requirements for gasoline fuel tank compartments to prevent explosive vapor accumulation.

Accommodation Ventilation

Calculate fresh air requirements for habitable spaces including cabins, saloons, and galleys to ensure crew comfort and safety.

Compliance Verification

Verify that ventilation systems meet ISO 11105 requirements for CE marking and Notified Body approval.

Important Notice

This calculator provides ventilation rate calculations based on ISO 11105 formulas. Actual ventilation system design must consider duct sizing, fan selection, and installation details. Professional verification by qualified marine engineers is required for certification purposes.

ISO 11105:1997 Standard

ISO 11105:1997 specifies the minimum requirements for ventilation of small craft to reduce the risk of injury, loss of life, and damage caused by fire or explosion resulting from accumulation of explosive vapors in enclosed spaces.

Key Ventilation Formulas

Engine Compartment (Petrol): V = 0.04 × P (m³/min)

Engine Compartment (Diesel): V = 0.02 × P (m³/min)

Fuel Tank Space: V = 30 × A (m³/h)

Where: V = ventilation rate, P = engine power (kW), A = compartment floor area (m²)

Application Areas:
  • Engine compartments containing petrol or diesel engines
  • Spaces containing fuel tanks (particularly petrol)
  • Compartments housing fuel-burning appliances
  • Accommodation spaces and habitable areas
  • Galleys with cooking appliances
  • Toilets and washing facilities

Who Should Use This Calculator?

Yacht Builders

Design and verify ventilation systems during vessel construction. Create documentation for CE certification and regulatory compliance.

Naval Architects

Calculate ventilation requirements during design phase. Specify appropriate ventilation equipment and duct sizing.

Marine Surveyors

Verify existing ventilation systems meet ISO 11105 standards during surveys and inspections. Generate compliance reports.

Marine Engineers

Assess ventilation adequacy for engine room modifications or repower projects. Ensure safe operating conditions.
