A1/B1 fireplaces
A1 and B1 fireplaces are fitted with an automatically closing door, certified and
tested in conformity with European standard DIN EN 13229 - A1. Open hearth
operation is forbidden, nor can these fireplaces be converted for open hearth
operation
.
The fireplace insert can be connected to a chimney flue for multiple
use. The effective height of the chimney flue must be at least 4 m, from the flue
gas intake. European standard DIN 4705/EN 13384-1 applies for the dimensions
of the chimney flue for the installation of a fireplace insert. Calculations for type AI
fireplace inserts are based on the volume of combustion air when the fireplace is
operating with its door closed. Type AI fireplace inserts meet the following re-
quirements:
●
Automatically closing door
●
Efficiency > 70 %
●
Nominal heating capacity < 11 kW
A2/B2 fireplaces
A2 and B2 fireplace inserts can also operate under open hearth conditions. It is
forbidden for the chimney flues to have multiple connections. The fireplace insert
must be connected to its own chimney flue, in other words only one heating unit
can be installed per chimney flue.
NOTICE
You should enquire as to whether multiple connections are legal in
your country.
