Which is NOT a criterion for determining the placement of a boiler?

  1. Adequate ventilation

  2. Proximity to fuel source

  3. Cost of installation

  4. Distance from wall

The correct answer is: Cost of installation

The criterion that is not typically considered for determining the placement of a boiler is the cost of installation. When placing a boiler, the key factors focus on ensuring safety and operational efficiency, such as adequate ventilation to prevent harmful gas accumulation and proper proximity to fuel sources for uninterrupted operation. Additionally, distances from walls are important to ensure sufficient clearance for maintenance and safe operation. While cost is always a factor in any installation process, it does not directly affect the technical criteria necessary for optimal boiler function. Decisions regarding the placement are primarily driven by regulatory compliance, safety standards, and system efficiency rather than financial considerations. Hence, cost of installation is not a primary factor compared to the essential safety and operational requirements.
