Possible cause:
The heater was selected incorrectly and (or) thermal
insulation of the room is not in compliance with the requirements.
Troubleshooting:
Select a heater of a greater capacity. Insulate the room in
accordance with SNiP 23-02-2003.
3) Fault:
Burnout of the firebox walls and (or) of the grate plates.
Possible cause:
Unrecommended fuel was used, and (or) the heater was
operated in the intensive combustion mode after firing and development of
a stable draft.
Troubleshooting:
Repair the heater or replace it with a new one.
4) Fault:
Smoke penetrates the room through the heater door under wind
conditions.
Possible cause:
Poor draft in the chimney, and (or) chimney channels are
placed in a wind pressurization area.
Troubleshooting:
Extend the chimney stack height to ensure that its outlet is
routed out of the wind pressurization area.
5) Fault:
Gradual reduction of draft. Low combustion of the fuel, smoke
enters the room with the heater door open.
Possible cause:
Blockage in the chimney or flue channels of the heater.
Troubleshooting:
Carry out a complete cleanup of the heater and chimney
from; remove foreign objects from the flue channels.
6) Fault:
Full absence of draft during firing of the heater.
Possible cause:
There is cold air in the chimney.
Troubleshooting:
Burn some paper, chip scrap, etc., over the damper
or at the place provided for cleanout in accordance with the “Rules for
Arrangement of Stoves and Chimneys”.
7) Fault:
Water is running down the chimney, the pipe gets wet. Part of the
moisture shows on the outer surface of the pipe in the form of dark spots.
Possible cause:
The temperature of flue gases is lower than the water dew
point in the chimney.
Troubleshooting:
It is necessary to raise the temperature of the flue gases
at the outlet of the chimney by 15 ⁰С above the dew point, for which do as
follows:
a)
select a heat-insulated chimney stack (modular sandwich pipes) along its
full length, or at least insulate the sections of the chimney at the attic and
over the roof with a heat insulating material of the required thickness;
b)
use dry fuel type for stoking.
