  • Patent number: 6415744
    Abstract: The present device relates to a combustion boiler having a fan part provided with a driving motor, a suction fan secured on a rotary shaft of the driving motor and disposed on a suction line, for forcedly sucking air in the room or from the outside, and an exhaust fan secured on the rotary shaft of the driving motor and disposed on an exhaust line, for forcedly exhausting an exhaust gas to the outside. Hence, the air in the room or from the outside is forcedly sucked to the suction line by means of the suction fan and the exhaust gas is forcedly exhausted to the exhaust line by means of the exhaust fan. In this way, the flowing of air is constantly kept in all of the suction, combustion and exhaust lines.
