Draft Conditions - Heta Scan-Line 7 Series Operating And Installation Instructions

area must match national and local
regulations.
The chimney connection
The chimney opening must follow
national and local regulations. Howe-
ver, the area of the opening should
never be less than 175 cm
corresponds to a diameter of 150 mm.
If a damper is fitted in the flue gas
pipe, there must always be at least
20 cm of free passage, even when
2
the damper is in its "closed" position.
Wood-burning stoves must never
be connected to chimneys that are
also linked to a gasfired heater. An
efficient stove makes high demand on
chimney properties – so always have
your local chimney sweep evaluate
your chimney.
The Scan-Line 7 series can be instal-
led with a horisontal straight back
outlet.
Maximum length of the pipe should be
500 mm with a 5" diameter.
The start draft (cold stove) of the
chimney should be at least 6 pascal.
Connection to a brick chim-
ney
Brick a thimble into the chimney and
seat the flue gas pipe in this. The
thimble and flue gas pipe must not
penetrate the chimney opening itself,
but must be flush with the inside of
the chimney duct. Joins between
brickwork, the thimble and flue gas
pipe must be sealed with fireproof
material and/or beading
Connection to a steel chim-
ney
When fitting a connection from a top-
output stove directly to a steel chim-
ney, we recommend fitting the chim-
ney tube inside the flue gas spigot so
that any soot and condensation drops
into the stove itself rather than col-
lecting on the exterior surface of the
stove. Changing smoke outlet from
top-mounted to rear-mounted (see fig.
, which

12-19 on page 18).
For connections to chimneys that are
run through ceilings, all national and
local regulations regarding distance to
flammable material must be followed.
It is important that the chimney is
fitted with roof support so that the top
panel of the stove is not required to
bear the entire weight of the chimney
(excessive weight may damage the
stove).

Draft conditions

Poor draft may result in smoke being
emitted from the stove when the door
is opened. The minimum chimney
draft to ensure satisfactory combu-
stion in stoves of this kind is 12 PA.
However, there will still be a risk of
smoke emission if the firing door is
opened during powerful firing. The flue
gas temperature at nominal output is
237°C when expelled to an exterior
temperature of 23°C. The flue gas
mass flow is 3.2 g/sec. The chimney
draft is generated by the difference
between the high temperature of the
chimney and the low temperature of
the fresh air. The length and insulation
of the chimney, wind and weather
conditions also have an effect on the
ability of the chimney to generate ap-
propriate under pressure.
If the stove has not been used in a
while, check that the chimney and
stove are not blocked with soot, bird
nests, etc., before using it.
