2.3 Air inlet
The stove air inlet pipe or intake is located at the back and is round and 50 mm in diameter.
A quantity of air at least equal to that necessary for combustion must flow in the room where the stove is installed;
therefore the combustion air necessary to ensure correct operation of the stove must be drawn:
from the room, provided there is a wall air inlet near the stove, communicating with the outside and of minimum
►
area 100 cm² suitably protected externally by a grille and positioned so as to not be accidentally obstructed;
or with direct connection to the outside with an appropriate pipe having a minimum internal diameter of 50 mm
►
and maximum length of 1.5 m, provided with antiwind protection at the end (down bend).
The air inflow can also be obtained from a room adjoining that of installation, provided the flow can occur freely
through permanent openings to the outside; the room must not be used as a garage, for storing combustible
materials or for activities with fire risk.
2.4 Fume exhaust
The fumes can be exhausted through a connection to a conventional flue or an external duct with double wall or
insulated pipe.
The fume exhaust connections must guarantee a minimum draught of 10 Pa so that the evacuation of fumes is
assured in case of a temporary power failure.
- The installer must check the efficiency and state of the flue and its conformity with the
local, national and European regulations.
- Certified pipes and connections with adequate seals guaranteeing their tightness must be used.
- In case of fire, shut down the stove, promptly call the fire department, and avoid continual attempts
to extinguish it.
- Clean the flue and respective connection at least once a year.
2.4.1Types of installation
Listed below are definitions and requirements for correct installation of an exhaust flue in accordance with Italian
Standard UNI10683:
FLUE : a vertical duct for collecting and expelling, at an appropriate height
from ground, the fumes coming from a single unit and, where permitted,
more than than one.
FLUE technical requirements : it must be fumetight, isolated and insulated
depending on its use;
- it must have a mainly vertical path with axis deviation < 45°;
- it must be at a suitable distance from flammable materials with insulation
or air gap;
- it must preferably have a constant, free and independent round internal
section;
- it is advisable for the flue to have an inspectionable chamber for the
collection of solid materials
- and any condensate, placed under the beginning of the fume duct.
FLUE CONNECTION or DUCT: duct or connection element between the
unit and flue for evacuation of fumes.
DUCT technical requirements: - it must not cross rooms in which the
installation of combustion units is not allowed;
- flexible metal tubes or fibre cement pipes are prohibited;
- the use of counter-sloping elements is prohibited;
- horizontal sections must have an upward slope of at least 3°;
- the length of the horizontal section must be minimal and not more than 3 m;
- there must not be more than 3 changes of direction, without the T union;
- with change of direction > 90° a max. of 2 bends can be used with length in horizontal projection not exceeding 2 m.
- the fume duct must have a constant section and allow the recovery of soot.
CHIMNEY CAP : a device placed on the top of the flue to facilitate the dispersion of fumes into the atmosphere.
CHIMNEY CAP technical requirements : it must have a section equivalent to that of the flue;
- it must have a useful section not less than double the internal section of the flue;
- it must prevent the entry of rain and foreign bodies and ensure the discharge of fumes in any
atmospheric condition;
- it must ensure an adequate dilution of fumes and be positioned outside the backflow area;
- it must be without mechanical means of suction.
The direct discharge of fumes must take place on the roof and not towards closed spaces
( even open air ).
