GLOSSARY

SMOKE CHANNEL OR FITTING
Pipe or connecting element between heat generator appliance and chimney to evacuate combustion products.
CLOSED HEARTH APPLIANCE
Generator whose opening is only allowed for feeding the fuel during use.
BIOMASS
Biological material, excluding the material incorporated in geological formations and transformed into fossils.
BIOFUEL
Fuel produced directly or indirectly by biomass.
CHIMNEY
Vertical pipe with the aim of collecting and expelling the fuel products coming from only one appliance, at a convenient height
from the ground.
INSULATION
Group of set-ups and materials used to prevent the transmission of heat through a wall that separates rooms with diff erent
temperatures.
CHIMNEY CAP
Device positioned at chimney peak to ease the dispersion of combustion products into the atmosphere.
CONDENSATE
Liquid products that form when the combustion gas temperature is lower or equal to the water dew point.
HEAT GENERATORS
Appliance which allows to produce thermal energy (heat) through the rapid transformation, via combustion, of the chemical
energy of the same fuel.
GATE VALVE
Mechanism for modifying the combustion gas dynamic resistance.
COMBUSTION PRODUCT EVACUATION SYSTEMS
Flue gas exhaust system independent from the appliance constituted by a fi tting or smoke channel, chimney or individual fl ue
and chimney cap.
FORCED DRAUGHT
Air circulation by means of the fan activated by electric motor.
NATURAL DRAUGHT
Draught which is determined in a chimney/fl ue due to the eff ect of the volume mass diff erence existing between combustion
products (hot) and surrounding atmosphere air, without any mechanical intake aid installed inside it or at its peak.
RADIATION AREA
Area immediately near the hearth in which the heat caused by combustion is diff used, where there must be no combustion
materials .
REFLUX AREA
Area where leaking of the combustion products is verifi ed, from the appliance towards the installation room.
