4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
The installation of FERLUX wood pellet heaters must be performed solely by qualified personnel who follow the instructions from the manufacturer and in accordance with any
and all regulations in force that may be applicable. Failing this, FERLUX is not responsible in the event of any accident.
It is important to choose the location of the heater in such a way that the path to the vertical connection of the smoke outlet is as short as possible.
Both the unit as well as any ducting for smoke are liable to reach high temperatures, meaning that it is essential to follow the instructions from the manufacturer in order to prevent fires and
hazardous situations. (See section 5.2 PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC FIRES).
It is also important to take into account the supply of air for combustion, as well as how to maintain suitable atmospheric conditions inside the enclosure. (See section 5.4 VENTILATION AND
AIR INTAKE)..
MINIMUM SAFETY DISTANCES
The following figures show the minimum safety distances that must always be observed.
CALCULATING THE EXHAUST SMOKE DUCTING
The following instructions must be taken into account for the path of the chimney:
•
Tubes made of AISI Type 316 stainless steel, varnished aluminised steel pipes with a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm, and porcelain pipes with a minimum thickness
of 0.5 mm shall be used.
•
Flexible pipes are allowed if they meet the specifications set out by law (made of stainless steel with a smooth interior wall), coupling pieces must be at least 50 mm
in length.
A table is shown below that contains the limitations for the installation:
LIMITATIONS
Horizontal stretches with a minimum incline of 5%
Minimum length (obligatory in vertical stretches)
Maximum length (with two 90° bends)
VENTILATION AND AIR INTAKE
In the case where there is no other way than to connect the primary air intake directly to the intake practiced in the wall it should
be of a larger diameter, in order to avoid all the problems caused due to the lack of primary air intake. The air intake made in
the wall will not have any type of mesh mosquito net or similar as this reduces the primary air intake to the appliance with the
consequences that this implies in the ignition and operation of the same (Er41).
The extensions that must be made are the following:
■
When the primary air inlet into the device is Ø 40 mm, we must extend it to Ø 90 mm
■
When the primary air inlet into the device is Ø 60 mm, we must extend it to Ø 110 mm
IN CASE OF CHANNELING, AVOID ANY KIND OF BEND.
IT IS TOTALLY FORBIDDEN THE INSTALLATION OF COAXIAL TUBE ON ANY FERLUX APPLAIENCES

In the case in which the installation has more than 3 meters of Ø 80 mm smoke
outlet, an extension should be made from Ø 80 mm to Ø 100 mm at least.
It is recommended that this extension for these vertical meters be done if
possible even before reaching 3 meters.
CAPPING OF SMOKE OUTLETS
The smoke outlet must always terminate on a vertical and the upper part of the section, which shall be termed the cap,
must comply with the following requirements:
•
t must have a useful internal cross-section equivalent to the evacuation pipes.
•
The useful cross-section of the outlet must be at least double that of the evacuation pipes.
•
The cap must prevent rain, snow, or foreign bodies from entering the chimney, otherwise it could cause
Er02 or Er41.
•
Furthermore, the cap must be resistant to winds and rise above the gable of the house in order to ensure
dispersion and dilution of the products of the combustion. Failure to install according to these guidelines
may cause Er02 or Er41.
•
It is absolutely forbidden to install cowls or deflectors for a horizontal outlet, above all those used for gas
boilers, since they could cause problems with the combustion, linstalling these could result in Er02 or Er41.
It is absolutely forbidden to cover the chimney with anti-bird nets or meshes or any similar
product.
