2.2 Place of installation, positioning and fire-prevention safety
The place of installation must be sufficiently ventilated to allow the removal of any combustion smoke leaks.
The unit is suitable for operation in domestic environments with min. temperature not below 0°C.
To prevent the risk of fire, the structures surrounding the stove must be protected from the heat.
Floors in wood or in any flammable material must be suitably protected at the base with steel or toughened glass
panels; the protection must cover the base and also a certain area in front of the stove.
Any wooden boards or beams above or crossed by the flue must be suitably protected in conformity with the
requirements of the specific current installation standards.
The minimum front distance for the protection of flammable objects is 1 m. The minimum safety distances from
flammable materials must comply with the table – fig 2.1
Every installation must provide for an easily accessible technical space for periodical maintenance.
The stove is provided with 6 adjustable feet to facilitate positioning on not perfectly flat floors. To adjust the height,
tilt the stove slightly and turn the feet as required.
As for temperature registration done at a certain distance we reccomend to install the ambient thermostat/ambient
programming clock-thermostat – see. par.4.8.
- The stove cannot be installed in bedrooms, bathrooms and in general in rooms where another heating unit is
already installed without an independent air inflow.
- With wooden floors, install a floor protection base in conformity with the current regulations.
- Suitable fire-prevention devices should be arranged for any eventuality.
- Do not install the stove in places with an explosive atmosphere.
2.3 Air inlet
The attack suction or air intake of the stove is placed rearwardly and is of circular cross section with a diameter of
50 mm. In the room where the stove is installed it must pour a quantity of air at least equal to that required for
combustion; for this reason the combustion air must ensure a flow of air, clean and free of polluting elements, to
satisfy a regular combustion at maximum power without any hindrance or obstruction of the passage section. The
devices ponds must be taken throughout the combustion air from the outside environment and can be installed in
homes or well insulated high energy efficiency.
For it to be soddisfattii requirements of tightness the combustion air inlet must be connected:
- directly to the outside of the dwelling with an appropriate tube minimum internal diameter of 50 mm and a
maximum length of 2 m fitted at the ends of a suitable grid wind protection (curve downwards + insect mesh) and
positioned so to avoid the obstruction ( rif. fig.2.3);
- on the pickup tube air combined with the exhaust pipe ( rif. fig.2.4).
-
It is recommended to connect the unit to the external air intake pipes and fittings that guarantee
tightness to meet the requirements for the installation of a device
- With the installation of fig.2.4 is an increase in temperature of the exhaust fumes therefore we recommend
to reset the parameters of the stove and check the
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 tests on the airtight stove mod. TERMO LORENE ERMETICA have been run with a maximum length of the
chimney of 6 meters and 80mm, excluding the T pipe, according to European Laws EN1856-2.
- 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.
1.1.2 Types of installation
Listed below are definitions and requirements for correct installation of an exhaust flue in accordance with Italian
Standard UNI10683 (fig 2.2):
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.
