The installation of the appliance in areas with high risk of fire is forbidden. The installation in the internal of domestic areas is, also, forbidden (except for the appliances with
resistant function):
In areas where there are liquid fuel appliances of constant or non constant function which receive the combustion air in the area where they are placed, or
In which there are B type air heating appliances, with or without the production of hot water for domestic use and in areas with which they communicate, or
In which the decline that is measured in function between external and internal environment is more than 4 Pa
INSTALLATION IN BATHROOMS, BEDROOMS AND STUDIOS
In bathroom, bedrooms and studios airlock installation or closed chamber appliances are only allowed with air intake from the outside.
INSTALLATION AREA REQUIREMENTS
The shelves or/and the support points should have the appropriate capacity, in order to bear the total weight of the appliance, its components and its coatings. The adjoining
side and back walls and the support surface on the floor should be made of incombustible material. The installation of the appliance near flammable materials or sensitive to
heat materials is acceptable if only the appropriate distance is kept, which is:
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS
NON FLAMMABLE OBJECTS
1500 mm
750 mm
The temperature of the adjoining combustion materials should not reach a temperature equal or higher than the temperature of the environment that was increased to 65°C.
The minimum volume of the area in where the appliance will be installed should be more than 15 m³.
In case of fire in the chimney pipe be supplied with the proper equipment in order to put out the fire or contact the fire brigade.
INSTALLATION AREAS VENTILATION
Ventilation is considered sufficient when the area is equipped with airways, according to the Reference Standard EN 14785 : Minimum opening surface 80 cm²
Ventilation is considered sufficient when the pressure difference between external and internal area is equal or less than 4 Pa
If there are type B air appliances with non constant function that are not intended for heating there should be an ventilation opening. The air pipes should comply with
following requirements:
Be protected with racks, metal nets, etc without reducing, however, the useful part
Be constructed in such ways, in order to allow maintenance,
Be placed in such ways so that they will not clog
The intake of clean air can be achieved through an adjoining area (indirect ventilation) under the condition that the intake will be free through permanent openings which
communicate with the external area. The adjoining area should not be used as a garage, storage of flammable materials or activities (because of the danger of fire),
bathroom, bedroom or shared domestic areas.
FUMES EXTRACTION SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Before installing fumes extraction system, make sure that air flow is created from the chimney, since this is an important factor for the proper use of the heater. The air flow
depends on the proper condition of the chimney and weather conditions. One simple way to check the air flow is with the help of a lighter. When you place the lighter in
front of the chimney opening, the flame should be leaning towards the inside of the chimney which means that the air flow is sufficient. On the other hand, if the flame is not
leaning towards the inside it means that there is a problem. In order to place the fumes extraction pipes, with diameter
Φ
80mm, you should use non flammable materials,
capable of resisting the combustion products and their concentrations. The use of pipes made of flexible metal and asbestos is forbidden. The fumes extraction pipes
Φ
80mm
should not cross areas in where the installation of appliances is forbidden. The placement of the fumes extraction pipes
Φ
80mm should be achieved in order to ensure the
retention of the fumes, according to the terms of function of the appliance, to restrict the formation of concentrations and to avoid the transfer of the fumes towards the
appliance. The placement of horizontal pipes should be avoided. Wherever the connection with a tee pipe is required, then it should be equipped with an inspection cap.
For the appliances which produce heat with the use of electric fan for fumes extraction the following are required:
The horizontal pipes should have minimum upward inclination 3%, the length of the horizontal line should be the minimum and, definitely, no more than 3 m, the maximum
direction changes should be no more than 4.
