THE CHIMNEY FLUE Fig. 2E The Chimneypot Over the ridge The chimney pot is placed on top of the chimney and helps to expell the smoke. The fundamental characteristics of the chimneypot are: • It must have the same diameter of the chimney flue Reflux area • Useful outlet section not less than twice the minimum of the chimney flue (ex.
Page 108
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION DISTANCES FROM FLAMMABLE MATERIAL Initial advices • The stove must be installed on a floor with adequate capacity. If the existing building does not meet this requirement, appropriate measures (eg, load distribution plate) must be taken. • The installation must guarantee easy access to clean the stove, the smoke pipes and the chimney flue as well.

Use small and medium-size logs and put them in the fireplace so that the air can penetrate between primary air inlet them. Place at the base of the stack some lighters (we recommend tablet derived from natural wax). With the air regulation registers you can regulate the passage of primary and secundary air, necessary Remove the for combustion.
Page 110
The combustion is good if: COMBUSTIBLE - After the lighting phase, there are no visible smokes from the chimney pot. - The ashes are gray and white and no unburned wood remains. - There is little soot in the chimney and inside the heat exchanger. For a good, environment friendly wood combustion, these are the conditions : The proper combustible is wood.

Home fire safety SAFETY External air inlet Installation and use of the stove should be in accordance with the instructions of the Manufacturer and the local rules of habitability. • When a flue pipe pass through a wall or ceiling particular methods of installation should be applied (protection, thermal insulation, distance from heat sensitive materials, etc) The stove must have the necessary air so as to ensure a regular combustion and a healthy environ- • Never connect the stove to a chimney flue already used for another device.

Italy TEST RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A total of six test runs were performed on the Stack wood stove. During run 3, sample flow was lost, creating an unacceptable proportionality deviation. Therefore run 3 was excluded from the analysis. Five valid runs test runs were conducted in the following categories and included in the weighted average emission level results: two in the 0.80 to 1.25 kg/hr dry category;...
