1. Why we will use chimney fan system?
Many homes with wood-burning stoves or fireplaces experience problems when lighting the fire.
Some of the most typical problems are:
1) Difficulty lighting the fire
4It can be caused by using poor quality fuel or because the draught in the chimney is insufficient.
2) Smoke in the room
Spillage can occur if there is insufficient draught. This can be caused by insufficient air supply or the use of extractor fans.
3)The fire goes out
Good combustion needs air. The chimney’s “job” is not only to remove smoke but to draw in fresh air
4)Through the supply vents to replace the air used by the fire.
If the air supply is reduced too quickly, uncombusted gasses and particles will exit through the chimney, causing soot and smokey odours.
5)Odours and soot
Poor combustion can cause soot build up on the stove door as well as smoke odours.Damp or wet fuel, an incorrectly set air damper or insufficient chimney draught will also cause this.
2. The advantage of our chimney fan system
Apart from providing you with the optimal chimney draught as soon as you light your fire,
a chimney fan system will also give you many other advantages.
1)Lighting the fire is quick and easy
It will be easier for you to light your fire, regardless of the weather or the size of your fireplace or stove in relation to your chimney. For the environmentally aware, it is also nice to know that because the fire takes hold much quicker, fewer particles escape into the atmosphere.
2)No smoke or odours
Because the chimney fan ensures that the smoke exits through the chimney rather than into your living room, you will not have smoke spillage and odours, even when you light or refuel the fire.
3)The fire goes out
Good combustion needs air. The chimney’s “job” is not only to remove smoke but to draw in fresh air through the supply vents to replace the air used by the fire. If the air supply is reduced too quickly, uncombusted gasses and particles will exit through the chimney, causing soot and smokey odours.
4)Healthier soot-and-smoke-free indoor environment
If you turn the chimney fan on while you clean your fireplace, the fine ash is extracted up through the chimney instead of escaping into the room and onto your furniture. Please make sure that the fan is cleaned
afterwards. Your home’s indoor environment is much healthier as all the particles are sucked up through the chimney.
5)Additional ventilation
As an extra bonus, when the fireplace is not in use you can use the chimney fan for ventilation during the summer or winter. If for example you leave your chimney fan running at low speed overnight after you have entertained guests, it ensures you will be breathing fresh air, free of odours the next morning.

1) Vertically
2) Horizontally
5. The wiring of our Chimney fan
6. The cleaning of our chimney fan
The fan should be checked and cleaned as required (at least once a year), depending on the fuel being used.
The following procedure:
Use the isolation switch to switch off the fan. Wait until the fan stops rotating.
Loosen the screw and open the top section of the fan so that it hangs on its hinges and the safety wire.
Using a scraper or brush, carefully clean the vane / centrifugal impeller.
Check the path taken by the smoke through the top and bottom sections of the fan for soot deposits, and clean where necessary with a scraper or brush.
When the fan is open it is also possible to sweep the chimney.
Check that there is free access for fresh air to the motor through the holes in the top section.
Make sure that any weights on the centrifugal impeller are not removed.
