6.1.2. Installation advice
This appliance must be installed in a place where outside air can enter freely. Any air
intake grates must be placed in a place that is not susceptible to blockage, so that there
is sufficient air at the installation site, avoiding poor draught;
The combustion air enters the recuperator through a system controlling the intensity
of the burning. No obstacles should be created to this flow;
Fans that draw air from the installation compartment shall not be used;
The use of this equipment, at the same time as other heating appliances requiring air
supply, may require the existence of additional air intakes and the installer must assess
the situation in the light of the overall air requirements;
For your recuperator to operate under normal conditions, the flue gas draw must result
in a depression of 12 Pa one meter above the chimney neck. If this is not achieved in your
chimney, your stove may not work properly, such as throwing smoke outside or consuming
too much firewood. To achieve a good installation, at least 2 meters of rigid chimney metal
pipe with the same diameter as the smoke outlet of the recuperator should be applied
vertically. Following this section, the use of piping elements with a maximum inclination
of 45° is permissible (in this case it must ensure that the chimney is properly cleaned each
year); The following figures show the correct and incorrect shape for the installation of
curves, respectively.
