Information for installation Chimney Information for installation Chimney 7.1.1 Planning and layout Required chimney diameter Please note that in partial-load operation the exhaust temperature is lower and the large chimney diameters, normally used for solid fuel, are no longer ideal. If the cross section is too large, the flue gas no longer safely rises from the chimney opening and may flow along the roof and sink to the windows of the living quarters.

Buffer storage tank Connection between multiple buffer storage tanks Tichelmann connection for higher outputs For parallel connection with one-sided connection, the volume of the second buffer is integrated using the thermosiphon principle. The exchange between the two tanks is driven only by gravity and limited by the hydraulic resistance of the junctions.
The basic principle of the internal Tichelmann is diagonal flow; Two buffers are connected together at the top and bottom (= parallel connection). For output up to 90 kW, a connection with DN 32 (ETA buffer connection set) is sufficient, for 30 kW use at least R1" or 28 mm copper. On one tank, the boiler outlet is connected at the top; on the other the boiler return is connected at the bottom.
