Air Supply from Outside - Connection Methods
Air can be supplied to the combustion chamber from within the room or from outside. The stove is fit-
ted with an in-built outside air-intake opening - connector dia. 100 mm. The adjustment of the primary
air under the fire grate is effected by means of a single control device below the firebox door. The stove
is fitted with a triple combustion-chamber air-feed system, with primary and secondary airs.
The air is redirected into the combustion chamber inside the space (air chamber) below the fire grate
on which combustion takes place. The primary air is supplied to the underneath of the fire grate which
is on the floor of the combustion chamber. The secondary chamber is supplied through a special con-
duit (located on the back wall of the stove), along the system of openings into the combustion cham-
ber. The secondary combustion is the burn-out of the particles contained in the smoke. The stove is
also fitted with an over-door air-curtain system. The air is directed through a turning vane and "sweeps"
the glass separating the flames and smoke from it, which largely reduces any soot depositing on it. In
this way oxygen is supplied to the upper section of the combustion chamber in which the gases gene-
rated during the wood burning are burnt out, which reduces the air emissions of toxic CO.
Some models feature an additional air damper installed in the air supply, independently of the in-built
control device.
