Technical Description
The EXHAUSTO chimney fan is a special designed
high temperature fan with horizontal discharge. It is
ETL-listed (UL Standard 378 for Draft Equipment).
The chimney fan is mounted on the top of the
chimney and creates a negative pressure in the entire
chimney or stack. This eliminates the risk of chimney
spillage with dangerous gases, like carbon monoxide.
Further the fan reduces the creosote build-up dra-
matically and ensures an optimal combustion in fire-
places, stoves, inserts, boilers, furnaces, water heat-
ers, etc.
The fan is made of cast aluminum and is extremely
resistant to corrosion. The chimney fan is equipped
with axial vanes made of stainless steel, and can
withstand exhaust gases and warm air up to max.
650°F (max. 300°C.). The design of the vanes assures
a minimum soot or creosote built-up on the fan base.
The top of the chimney fan is hinged to the base,
which eases service and cleaning of the chimney.
The motor is a split-capacitor type constructed by
EXHAUSTO to withstand high flue gas temperatures.
It has thermal overload protection and is virtually
maintenance free with pre-lubricated sealed ball bear-
ing.
The motor is completely enclosed and protected
from rain, water, snow, soot, dust etc. It is balanced to
assure a very low noise level and vibration-free use.
The chimney fan as an obstruction.
Installed on the chimney flue termination, the chim-
ney fan could be considered a restriction to the flow.
However, the design of the fan assures a relatively
low restriction and lower than most chimney caps!
As a safety-listed product, the chimney fan has
been tested to a resistance factor (k-value) of 0.5,
which is comparable to a 45° elbow.
Any type of chimney cap is definitely a restriction,
but some more than others. Non-listed chimney caps
add the most resistance to the chimney flue. As the
inlet is generally the same size as the flue, the resis-
tance factor (k-value) could easily exceed that of a 90°
elbow.
A UL-listed low resistance chimney cap is usually
rated at a resistance factor of 0.5, but they are also
aerodynamically designed to safely convey the flue
gases.
The EXHAUSTO chimney fan is only a minor
resistance to the chimney flue (less than most chimney
caps) provided the fan size is selected properly.
However, a fireplace that had smoke problems prior
to the installation of an EXHAUSTO chimney fan, will
still have smoke problems if the fan is not operating.
