In these recuperators, the intake of air for combustion can be carried out in two
different ways:
a) By means of ventilation grids. Installing air intake grids for the insertion area of
the appliance, which must be done as shown in the following diagram, in order to
ensure the proper functioning of the recuperator. The air intake from outside the
dwelling must always be guaranteed and must have an area of at least 100 cm2
and without obstacles, so that the air intake is sufficient for the proper functioning
of the appliance.
If this air intake is not possible, you should consider in your installation air intakes
(minimum 100cm2) for the combustion of the interior of the house, considering
the degree of insulation of your home and the proximity of other appliances that
consume air for its operation (for example, kitchen or bathroom exhaust fans) and
that may hinder the operation of your stove at the level of combustion and current
of air.
The interior space where the stove is installed must also be ventilated so as not to
accumulate excess heat. To do this, install 2 air intakes at the bottom and outlets
at the top with minimum sections of 100cm2, as shown in the image.
