Fire Lighting For Professionals (Top Down Burning) - Palazzetti SUNNY FIRE Manuel D'installation Et D'entretien

7.3.2 Burning
• Depending on weather conditions, move the
adjustment lever approx. to the center, or maybe
a little further (closing the air supply). This always
depends on experience and current local conditions.
• Open the doors slowly; otherwise a sudden drop in
pressure may suck ue gases into the room. First open
the door a crack only.
• By adding wood during the ember phase you may
avoid smoke from entering the room as you open
the door.
Note for use in smoke control area.
• Refuelling on to a low re bed. If there is insuf cient
burning material in the re bed to light a new fuel
charge, excessive smoke emission can occur.
Refuelling must be carried out onto a suf cient quantity
of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge
will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few
embers in the re bed, add suitable kindling to prevent
excessive smoke.
• Never cover the embers completely.
• After replenishing, move the adjustment lever fully to
the right for a few minutes until the wood burns well.
• Do not habitually add more wood than recommended.
• This is also applicable if the unit is not in use.
• Never close the air adjustment lever completely during
burning ( ash re risk!)
Note for use in smoke control area.
• Dampers left open: Operation with the air controls or
appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke.
The appliance must not be operated with air controls,
appliance dampers or door left open except as directed
in the instructions.
7.4 FIRE LIGHTING FOR PROFESSIONALS (TOP
DOWN BURNING)
Principle: This method of lighting a fire is a simple
and effective way to reduce replace emissions. The
stack of wood burns downwards from the top. With this
method of burning, all the ue gases pass through the
hot combustion zone ( ames) above the stack, assuring
complete combustion. The wood further down is heated
gradually, gases escape and burn in the hot combustion
zone. The result: far more even combustion than when
lighting from the bottom.
Note: It is important with this method to prevent burning
down to the bottom too fast. The prerequisite is some
operator experience in proper stacking and lighting of
split logs in replaces and keeping a watch on the re
initially at least, in order to correctly adjust the combustion
air supply.
