FLUE SYSTEM INSTALLATION
CALMA series gas heaters have been adapted to work with POUJOULAT balanced flue (concentric air-flue)
gas systems, BI-GAS and DUO-GAS models in sizes 150/100 (CALMA 65, CALMA 80) and 200/130 (CALMA
120). These systems work under negative pressure, which eliminates the need for additional seals.
Individual elements are connected with each other using a dedicated clamp. The system is made of acid-
resistant steel and can be used in solutions where the exhaust gas temperature in the heater does not
exceed 600 ° C. The systems can be purchased directly from the manufacturer of the fireplaces, in online
stores or in local stores listed at www.poujoulat.pl. The flue systems used in Hitze gas appliances can be led
out through the side wall of the building (C11 type system), through the roof (C31 type system), or use the
existing chimney (C91 type). Connection to the flue system, system routing, distances from combustible
materials, roof and wall passages, sealing and insulation should be made in accordance with the relevant
regulations in force in the country or region where the appliance is installed. During designing of the flue
system, all difficulties related to the wind pressure on the terminal should be taken into account.
The flue lead through the wall - type C11. In this type of solution, the flue system should be started with an
element with a minimum length of 1 meter. When leading the flue through the side wall, only one 90 ° bend
can be used, and the length of the horizontal section must not exceed 3 meters. Termination of the coaxial
system should be performed using a dedicated horizontal terminal. In order not to disturb the air flow, the
horizontal section should be level.
Flue system lead through the roof - type C31. The recommended length of the flue led out through the roof
is a maximum of 12 meters and depends on the number of elbows used. It is assumed that the use of a 45
° elbow reduces the permissible length of the flue system installed by 1 meter, and the use of a 90 ° elbow -
by 2 meters. Each horizontal section is treated as 2 meters. If the flue system is routed in the C31 system, it
is permissible to use the first vertical section with a length of 0.5 to 1 meter. Vertical terminal should be
used at the end of the flue system.
Leaving the flue using the existing chimney - type C91. In this solution, the flue system is led out vertically,
as in the case of C31. A vertical section with a length of 0.5 to 1 meter is mounted on the heater, and then,
using a 45 ° or 90 ° elbow and a single straight element of a flue system is introduced into the existing
chimney. Then only the internal flue gas discharge pipe runs through the entire length of the existing
chimney. At the end of the chimney, reuse the concentric element in the form of a vertical terminal. The
connection between the chimney and the concentric system should be tightened on both sides of the
installation. The chimney used in the installation must be clean, tight and unobstructed. The minimum
diameter of the existing chimney used is 150 mm for the 150/100 system and 200 mm for the 200/130
system. In the case of chimneys with a rectangular cross-section, their cross-flow area must not be less
than 225 cm2 for the 150/100 system and 400 cm2 for the 200/130 system. The recommended maximum
length of the concentric system section run inside the existing chimney is 7 meters.
