External fan box for HK with convection casing only (option) For improved hot air distribution, e.g. for several rooms or for a small hypocaust with bench, connec- tion of the “external fan box” (3) is also an option. The detailed assembly instructions are included with every set.
SMART-LINE ECO-LINE Installation Guide 7. Connection to ceramic flues The above specifications regarding the installation specifications (pages 12-16) and assembly instruc- Direct flue tions (pages 17-21) still apply (see distances, thermal insulation, flue gas pipe connection). This series of appliances has been especially de- signed for installation with ceramic flues.
Page 25
SMART-LINE ECO-LINE Installation Guide The fuel pipe connection to the ceramic flue is to be made flue-gas-tight using pluggable steel pipes. The connection of the pipes to the ceramic flue is to be made preferably by means of a prefabricated fireclay connection stone.
SMART-LINE ECO-LINE Installation Guide 9. Storage systems 9.1. General Modern houses with high heat requirements indicate the installation of furnaces with low heating power. The fire inserts of such installations are enclosed by a storage casing and faced with a ceramic cover (radiation plates, tiles, etc.). The gap between the fire insert and the facing and the internal storage casing is heat- ed during operation.
