1.7 IMMERGAS FLUE SYSTEMS.
Immergas supplies various solutions separately
from the boilers regarding the installation of air
intake terminals and ue extraction, which are
fundamental for boiler operation.
Attention: the boiler must be installed
exclusively with an original Immergas “Green
Range” air intake and fume extraction system
in plastic, as envisioned by the Standards
in force. is system can be identied by an
identification mark and special distinctive
marking bearing the note: “only for condensing
b o i l e r s ”.
• Resistance factors and equivalent lengths.
Each ue component has a Resistance Factor
based on experimental tests and specified
in the table below. e Resistance Factor for
individual components is independent from
the type of boiler on which it is installed
and has a dimensionless size. It is however,
conditioned by the temperature of the uids
that pass through the pipe and therefore,
varies according to applications for air intake
or ue exhaust. Each single component has a
resistance corresponding to a certain length
in metres of pipe of the same diameter; the
so-called equivalent length, obtained from the
ration between the relative Resistance Factors.
All boilers have an experimentally obtainable
maximum Resistance Factor equal to 100.
The maximum Resistance Factor allowed
corresponds to the resistance encountered with
the maximum allowed pipe length for each
type of Terminal Kit. is information allows
calculations to be made to verify the possibility
of setting up various ue congurations.
Positioning of the gaskets (black) for “green
range” ue extraction systems. Position the
gasket correctly (for bends and extensions) :
- gasket with notches, to use for bends;
- gasket without notches, to use for extensions.
N.B.: if component lubrication (already carried
out by the manufacturer) is not sucient, remove
the residual lubricant using a dry cloth, then to
ease tting spread the elements with common
or industrial talc.
With ue gaskets installed correctly, gently push
ue components together fully.
N.B.: considerations need to be made when
sighting/terminating ue extraction system as
an element of plumage will occur when boiler
is in operation.
N.B.: for safety purposes, do not obstruct the
boiler intake-exhaust terminal, even temporarily.
