1.9 Functioning principle
This appliance has been designed to achieve maximum heat output while minimizing fuel consumption.
The shape and the CMtech® lining of the combustion chamber allow to reach and retain high temperatures inside of it, thus
maximizing the combustion phases with consequential reduction in the amount of the fuel needed.
After passing through the fumes baffle, the fumes are conveyed through slowdown and thermal exchanging channels, which
provide hot air for heating, reducing the temperature of the fumes outlet.
Warm air is then distributed into the room through flexible pipes positioned inside the finishing flare of the appliance cladding.
The heat exchangers surrounding the combustion chamber and inside the appliance flare are air-tight thanks to line weldings,
which prevent any gas exchange with the air to be heated.
Our appliances are offered with two functioning systems:
a system of natural convection:
the heat released is partly radiated and mostly diffused by natural convection (air natural convection movement): an air flow
enters from the outside, heats up when passing through heat exchangers positioned inside the appliance flare, it is channelled and
emitted from the unit's top into the room to be heated.
fan-assisted:
the heat released is partly radiated and mostly fan-distributed with a system of forced convection (artificial air motion produced by
an integrated fan): an airflow (induced by the fan) is drawn in from outdoors and heated by passing it through heat exchanger air
cavities located inside the appliance's hood, then channeled and finally released from the unit's top portion into the room that is
to be heated, or into adjacent rooms, through appropriately insulated ducts.
For the forced convection solution, the "forced air channelling kit" is available on the price list, which is to be
installed before positioning the appliance permanently.
In both cases the choice to take fresh clean air from outside and distribute warm air from above has been made for:
- Keeping steady the room moisture content and admitting fresh air into the room.
- Reducing the circulation of dust, which may be present on the room's floor.
- Conforming to and exploiting the natural air motion (warm air upward flow, cold air downward flow).
