Selection and correct use depending on the type of application and
relative designation of the product.
gloSSaRy
cloSed heaRth appliance
heat generator which opening is only allowed through the loading
of the fuel during use.
BiomaSS
biological material, excluding the material incorporated in
geological formations and transformed into fossils.
BioFuel
fuel produced directly or indirectly by biomass.
chimney
vertical pipe with the aim of collecting and expelling the fuel
products coming from only one appliance, at a convenient height
from the ground.
Smoke channel oR Fitting
pipe or connecting element between heat generator appliance
and chimney to evacuate combustion products.
inSulation
group of set-ups and materials used to prevent the transmission
of heat through a wall that separates rooms with different
temperatures.
chimney cap
device positioned at chimney peak to ease the dispersion of
combustion products into the atmosphere.
condenSate
liquid products that form when the combustion gas temperature
is lower or equal to the water dew point.
heat geneRatoRS
appliance which allows to produce thermal energy (heat) through
the rapid transformation, via combustion, of the chemical energy
of the same fuel.
gate ValVe
mechanism for modifying the combustion gas dynamic
resistance.
54
comBuStion pRoduct eVacuation SyStemS
flue gas exhaust system independent from the appliance
constituted by a fitting or smoke channel, chimney or individual
flue and chimney cap.
FoRced dRaught
air circulation by means of the fan activated by electric motor.
natuRal dRaught
draught which is determined in a chimney/flue for effect of
the volume mass difference existing between smoke (hot) and
surrounding atmosphere air, without any mechanical intake aid
installed inside it or at its peak.
Radiation aRea
area immediately near the hearth in which the heat caused by
combustion is diffused, where no combustion materials must be
present.
ReFlux aRea
area where leaking of the combustion products is verified
from the appliance towards the installation room.
the installation must be preceded by checking the chimneys, flues
or unload terminals positioning of appliances similarly to:
installation prohibitions
legal distances
limitations disposed by local administrative regulations or
particular authority prescriptions.
conventional limitations deriving from condominium
regulations, constraints or contracts.
10.1.
inStallationS alloWed
only appliances working in a sealed manner respect to the room or
which do not place the room in depression respect to the external
environment, can exist or be installed in the room where the heat
generator will be installed.
appliances for cooking food and relative hoods without extractor
are only allowed in kitchens.
10.2.
inStallationS not alloWed
in the room where the heat generator will be installed the following
must not pre-exist or be
installed:
hoods with extractor
collective type ventilation pipes.
Should these appliances be in rooms adjacent, communicating
with the installation room, the simultaneous use of the heat
generator is forbidden, where a risk exists of one of the two rooms
being placed in depression respect to the other.

connection to the Smoke
eVacuation SyStem
uni 10683 (2005) Standard
10.3.1.
Smoke channel oR FittingS
to mount the smoke channels, non-flammable elements will
have to be used, ideal for resisting combustion products and their
eventual condensing.
the use of flexible metal and asbestos cement pipes to connect
the appliances to the flue is forbidden, even for pre-existing smoke
