Do not use or store any explosive or easily flammable materials (e.g., petrol, paper, paint) in the vicinity of where the XRGI® system is
installed. Do not use any sprays, solvents, cleaning materials that contain chlorine, paints, adhesives etc. in the vicinity of the XRGI®
system. These materials could present an ignition hazard but could also lead to corrosion – even in the exhaust system.
2.3.8
C O M B U S T I O N A I R S U P P LY
Check that the supply of combustion air to the XRGI® system is unimpeded. Do not position any equipment with extraction, such
as fans, tumble driers or dehumidifiers, in the vicinity of the XRGI® system without consulting your authorised EC POWER specialist.
Check with your authorised EC POWER specialist to ensure that there is still a sufficient supply of combustion air to the XRGI® system
before fitting moisture-tight windows. The Power Unit's combustion air should not contain any solvents or halogen compounds,
which can cause corrosion and damage when the XRGI® system is operated. Halogen compounds are used in industry, trade and
household products.
Closed air supply inlets can result in incomplete combustion and a build-up of carbon monoxide, with the possibility
of poisoning.

This list is not an exhaustive list.
The solvents used for cleaning and contained in adhesives and paints are crucial. Chemical cleaning and degreasing baths are
sources of halogen compounds, as are flooring adhesives and other adhesives. Construction varnishes, paints and adhesives have
been produced for many years without halogenated hydrocarbons. Air-borne halogen compounds are often released when thinners
containing chlorinated hydrocarbons or adhesive removers containing chlorinated hydrocarbons are used, as well as new coats of
paint in heating plant rooms. Bleach alkalis and hydrochloric acid, often used for disinfection and for cleaning, can also be the cause
of corrosion. Spray paints or adhesives containing CFCs are rarely used today by professional tradesmen. If the source of halogenated
hydrocarbons cannot be completely eliminated (e.g., hairdressing salons, swimming pools, dry cleaning premises etc.), then the
supply of combustion air has to be solely supplied from an uncontaminated area.
