The same chimney should not be used for more than one appliance or open fireplace.
In the collective chimneys each one must reach the windows that must be at the same
level, independently, so that the air circulation expels the gases out.
If the chimney is brick it should not be too wide, because the smoke when spreading
cools and damages the draw. In case of difficulty in the draw, due to contrary winds, a hat
should be applied, according to what is most favorable.
6.2. Installation location requirements
The floor where the stove will be installed must allow a permanent load of 1 kg/cm².
If the load capacity of the floor is not sufficient, a rigid plate may be used for the
distribution of the load over a surface greater than that of the support of the recuperator.
Near the walls of the recuperator cannot be used combustible materials.
The dimensions of the insertion space of the recuperator must comply:
- 15 cm between the side walls of the stove and the walls of the space.
- 5 cm between the back wall of the stove and the wall of the space.
If there are significant and undesirable heat exchanges through the walls of the
insertion space, it is advisable to proceed with thermal insulation that minimizes losses.
The nominal characteristics – power "water" and power "environment" are only verified in
conditions of thermal insulation of the walls of the recuperator.
The ornamental stones must have a distance from the equipment of about 5 mm, to
allow the expansion of the metallic material, as well as must be installed so that the
recuperator can be removed, without damaging it, in case of any anomaly;
The materials present in front of the recuperator must be able to withstand heating by
radiation effect through the glass of the equipment, and must not, therefore, have
combustible characteristics.
In the sealing of the chimney should be applied a refractory material - refractory
cement or other.
The use of wood in the finishes may have the inconvenience of fire risk, so we advise
its proper insulation or its non-use.
