    ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL CHIMNEY Every fi re needs its own chimney. Multiple connections to one main chimney is not per- mitted. Ensure that any existing chimney is completely air-tight and in good condition. It must be suitable to accommodate the appliance in question. Make sure your chimney has a proper cap to prevent rain getting in and birds nesting on it.

    ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL STOKING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME If you have had your chimney breast modifi ed or newly built, fi rst allow your home to dry properly. Walls which have not been allowed to dry properly are a magnet for dust such as any smoke particles created when stoking up the fi...

  • Page 37: Use

    ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL 7.1 VENTILATION Air is a vital component of the combustion process. Ensure that there is a suffi cient supply of fresh air. For each kilo of wood that you put on the fi re (door closed), 10 - 15 m of extra air is needed.

  • Page 38: Instructions While Stoking

    ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL When setting the fi re, move the locking slider all the way to the right. If necessary, leave the door ajar for 10 minutes. Do not open the door wide, as the window will remain cold. If the door is shut during this time, smoke will condense on the glass and form soot.
  • Page 39 When loading the fi re, the following quantity of wood is suffi cient. Energa 70-55 Tunnel : 4 blocks c. 26 cm long and 30 cm perimeter Do not add more fuel until the previous fuel has burned down to the charcoal stage.

  • Page 40: Heating Economically

    ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL 7.4 HEATING ECONOMICALLY The most environmentally-friendly and economic way of heating with wood is to have your fi re hot but calm. The ash should appear to glow a soft red-orange and should not glow like a blacksmith’s fi re. Fires like that burn quickly and intensely, leaving little time for complete combustion.

    ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL 7.6 REMOVING AND RETURNING THE HOLDER WITH THE PARTICULATE FILTER, FLUE GAS FLAP AND RETARDANT PLATE (BRAKE PLATE) Before sweeping the chimney, the holder with the particulate fi lter and the fl ue gas fl ap must be removed.
  • Page 42 ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL Removing the holder with the particulate fi lter • First slide the holder with particulate fi lter as far forward as possible. Then remove this by fi rst lifting it on the left and taking it out downwards to the right.

  • Page 46: General Hints

    ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL GENERAL HINTS 8.1 TIPS • Burn dry wood only. Damp wood not only burns poorly, it causes more pollution in the appliance (window), the chimney, your room (when opening the door of the appliance, for instance) and the environment. Wood can only be classifi ed as dry if it has been stored under a Dutch barn for at least two years (not covered with plastic).

  • Page 47: Output

    ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL 8.2 OUTPUT In practice, combustion is all about loss. This entails: • Loss through excess heat leaving the chimney, rather than going into the room. • Loss through insuffi cient combustion, such as CO (carbon monoxide) and soot particles.

  • Page 48: Fuel

    Suitable fuels are: • All sorts of clean wood (forested). The wood must have been dried for at least two years. Well-dried wood has a humidity percentage between 10 and 20%. Recommended dimensions: • Energa 70-55 Tunnel: length: c. 26 cm outline: c.

  • Page 49: Amount Of Fuel

    If this happens, there is a risk of fi re. It may also damage your appliance and chimney. BARBAS will not assume liability for damage caused by overheating. Burning one layer of wood can lead to varying outputs. When used correctly, one load will burn in around 45 minutes.

  • Page 50: Heat Radiation

    ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL 10.2 HEAT RADIATION The table below shows the temperatures which can theoretically be achieved by burning wood. Heat radiation Sort of fuel kWh/kg Dry wood (average) Briquettes (average) The heating value of wood (18.7 MJ/kg at 0% humidity) is not affected by the sort of wood.

  • Page 58: Frequently Asked Questions

    Can a wood-burning stove/built-in fi re be connected to a central heating installation? The Barbas range does not have any stoves/fi res that can be connected to central heating installations. We do not advise attempting it !! How do I know if I’m heating correctly? Follow the instructions in this manual.
  • Page 59 ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL What is wrong with a smoking chimney? A seriously smoking chimney means that combustion is less than optimum. There may be a number of reasons for this. If the fi re has only just caught on, or has recently been topped up, some smoke is normal.
  • Page 60 ENERGA 70-55 TUNNEL Do I have to take any extra measures if the room I am heating has an extractor fan (mechanical ventilation)? If the combustion air comes from the living-room: A fl ue gas fan is required for permanent extraction of the area in which the fi replace is placed.
