Convection; Chimney - RAIS RINA 90 Bedienungsanleitung

English

Convection

attika
RAIS/ stoves are convection stoves. This means that the stove's back and side
panels are not over-heated. Convection means that there is a circulation of air, which
ensures that the heat is distributed more evenly throughout the entire room.
cold air
The is sucked in at the base of the stove up through the convection channel,
which runs along the stove's combustion chamber.
heated air
The pours out at the top of the stove, which ensures a circulation of warm
air throughout the room.
Note, however, that all exterior surfaces become hot during use - so take extreme care.

Chimney

The chimney is the driving force which makes the stove function. In order for the stove
to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure the correct
draught of 14 to 18 Pa so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent prob-
lems of smoke emanating into the room when firing.
NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the
outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively the
calculation procedure given in BS 5854:1980 may be used as the basis for deciding
whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance
with the provisions of Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or
other faults which might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may
have chimney faults or the cross section may be too large i.e. more than 230 mm x
230 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking expert advice, if neces-
sary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel
must be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immedi-
ately before installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then
the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which
may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the
open fire.
If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance
with Building Regulations Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated stainless
steel flue to BS 1856-1 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions and Building Regulations.
A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is
not suitable for using for the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting fluepipe
must have a minimum diameter of 125 mm. Any bend in the chimney or connecting
fluepipe should not exceed 45°. 90°bends should not be used.
Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the
walls of fireplaces or flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the
presence of combustible materials due account must be taken of the guidance on the
separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J
and also in these stove instructions.
