Example of calculation
Let's assume to install a R60 in C13 type installation (Figure
3.3
25). The air/fumes system will be realized with Ø 80 sep-
arate pipes in the following way:
▶
7 m of Ø 80
fl
ue gas exhaust pipe
▶
1 90° Ø 80 elbow on the
fl
ue gas exhaust pipe
▶
6 m of Ø 80 air pipe
It is therefore possible to proceed with the veri
fi
cation, remem-
bering that the maximum allowed pressure drop is 100 Pa (see
Table 3.11
26).
▶
Ø 80
fl
ue gas exhaust pipe
7 m x 9,2 Pa/m = 64,4 Pa
▶
90° elbow
1 x 15,4 Pa =
15,4 Pa
▶
Ø 80 air pipe
6 m x 4,4 Pa/m = 26,4 Pa
Total pressure drop =
106,2 Pa
Total pressure drop of the piping system is greater than the max-
imum allowed pressure drop (100 Pa), therefore the installation
is not allowed.
The installation can be done if one of the following steps is taken:
▶
Reduce the length of the air/fumes pipes.
▶
Increase pipe diameter, e.g. by using Ø 110. In this case the
total pressure drop would be:
7 m x 1,9 Pa/m = 13,3 Pa
1 x 4,3 Pa =
4,3 Pa
6 m x 0,9 Pa/m = 5,4 Pa
Total pressure drop =
23,0 Pa
which is therefore compatible with the maximum allowed pres-
sure drop.

Vertical down
fl
ow gas unit heaters
For vertical down
fl
ow gas unit heaters, at the base of
the vertically mounted
fl
ue gas exhaust pipe a T-shaped
piece must be
fi
tted to collect the condensate, to pre-
vent any condensate drops from reaching the blower
(Figure 3.9
28).
Pay attention to the collection and the proper conveying
of the condensate drain.

AIR DUCTING
Only models equipped with a centrifugal fan (Next-R C series)
can be combined with air ducting systems, which can be posi-
tioned both on the air intake (with or without mixing chambers)
and on the delivery.
For this purpose, the delivery outlet of the Next-R C gas unit heat-
ers is provided with
fi
fl
anges for the delivery air ducting.
Refer to the Paragraph 1.2.2
11 for the dimensions of the
fl
ange connection.
In order to avoid vibrations (possible source of noise and
mechanical failures), it is advisable to install anti-vibra-
tion connections, easily removable for maintenance op-
eration, at the connection between the gas unit heater
and the air duct.
Set up the air ducting using a traditional su
ffi
ciently smooth
