1.THE CHIMNEY
Our stoves’ “engine”.
The chimney is a key element for the optimal functioning of our stoves.
General rules:
- Each device must have its own chimney to the roof, adequately insulated, through
which the smoke will flow outside, through natural draft;
- Each device must be separeted from combustible or flammable materials (wooden
roofs, matchboards and any plastic pipes) through a suitable insulating material,
for at least 30 cm all around. The insulation is also recommended when the
chimney is installed inside a masonry. This will prevent the cold ait from creeping
between the steel pipe and the wall. All the more reason, a good insulation will be
needed in case of passage in an open floor.
- If the chimneypot is installed on a roof lower than a higher nearby roof, the
distance must be > 5 meters. (FIG. 2 C)
- The inner section of the chimney shall be uniform and without narrowings, possibly
round shaped, with smooth walls and corners not any higher than 45°.
- The section of the chimney must be bigger than the diameter of the stove smoke
pipe. For our stoves we recommend a chimney diameter from 160 mm to 180 mm
and a chimney height of not less than 2,5 meters.
- The connection between the stove smoke pipe and the chimney in the wall must
be done through a pipe fitting (90° or 135°). Moreover, the connection must not
have more than two 90° bends and it must have an horizontal lenght of no more
than 2 meters with a gradient of 5%. We recommend that the chimney is equipped
with a condensate and soot collection chamber, which shall end with an airtight
door, accessible for cleaning. This will avoid unpleasant smells, bad draft and
frequent cleaning of the stove.
