Introduction; Technical Description - Romotop Tala Série Mode D'emploi

Dear user!

Introduction

This service manual applies to the
as well as the fireplace inserts (further referred to as
appliances – for generaltexts).
We are pleased that you have chosen our product. The
appliances are tested in compliance with the EN 13 240 and
13 229 standards. They require only very simple
attendance and we expect that they will serve for a long
time to your full satisfaction.
The appliances are made as all-metal, or they have tile
or stone lining and accessories. A part of the production
is made using cast iron. Some types are, in addition,
supplemented with a hot water exchanger for service
water used to heat the neighbouring rooms. Most types
of the variety of offered stoves are fitted for smoke-flue
connection from behind or from above.
In your own interest, please do not put this service
manual aside without having read it. In terms of safety,
the user is obliged to be properly informed about the
appropriate installation and operation of this appliance.
This is the purpose of this service manual.
High heat output, dust-free operation, and minimum
escape of polluting matter due to complete combustion
are the main advantages of your appliance.
The appliance is not designed for constant heat
operation.

Technical description

The appliances are designed for the heating of rooms
and for temporary heating when it is not efficient yet to
heat by central heating.
The fireplace insert is designed for installation in
fireplaces in various interiors (apartments, recreation
objects, restaurants).
The appliances are made of sheet steel with 2 – 4 mm
thickness. Some fireplace inserts are also made of
cast iron. The surface is protected by fireproof flat
varnish. The combustion chamber is mostly lined with
removable fireclay plates. The bottom of the combustion
space is fitted with a removable cast iron grate. The door
of the combustion chamber is equipped with special
heat resistant glass. The glass not only increases the
aesthetic impression of the view of the flames, but also
enables the transfer of heat for longer distance by heat
emission. This creates unique thermal comfort even if
you are sitting several meters away from the stove. The
glass also prevents sparks from falling from the burning
wood and smoke from escaping to the room. The top

sheet metal surface above the combustion chamber can
be used to keep food and drinks warm.
Each stove is equipped with a separate inlet for
fireplace stoves
primary and secondary combustion air (further referred
to as primary and secondary air).
For this purpose, the stove is always equipped with
a control element for primary air. Primary air is lead
directly to the burning fuel (usualy through the ashpan
and the grate) and serves for primary combustion
reaction.
Some types are also fitted with secondary air closing
(see the dimensioned sketch), which makes it possible
to subdue the burning process and thus lower the heat
output of the stove, but it will also lower heat efficiency
and increase the volume of toxic components in the flue
gases. As secondary air aids the combustion of residual
inflammable gases in the flue gases and prevents the
glass from blackening, it should be open constantly
during operation. Secondary air is lead mainly to the
combustion space above the burning fuel and also
participates in primary combustion if the primary air
inlet is half or fully closed. The size of the secondary
openings is adjusted for the rated output of appliances
under the given operating conditions (see the technical
data table) if the primary air inlet is closed. Leave the
primary inlet fully open during firing up when the
chimney draught is low. After the chimney is warmed
up, the primary inlet can be closed or half closed. Lower
stove output can also be achieved by inserting smaller
amount of fuel or by mounting a chimney smoke flap
(manual closing in the smoke flue duct reducing the flue
to max. 75%). The secondary damper is designed for
full closing of the stove when it is not in operation. It
prevents imponderable room ventilation when the stove
is not operating and protects the room from chimney
smell under bad chimney draught conditions.
closed, except for putting into operation, inserting the fuel
and removing solid fuel remains, to prevent flue gases
from escaping into the room. Some stoves are made with
central air inlet for connecting a piping for combustion
air supply from outdoor environment, the cellar, the hall,
etc. This prevents heat from being withdrawn directly
from the heated room. The combustion process in the
stove is thus independent of the ventilation of the room.

diameter is unlimited.
