Operational Description

The patented Vortex System of Perry is based on the principle of gasification used in furnaces. The Perry is accredited with EN 13240 for stoves of building and falls well below the normal required value with its emission.

In the upper combustion chamber the flame is set according to the desired heating output which is controlled by primary air feed connected to the first combustion area. In this process energy efficient wood-gas is drawn through the Vortex and burned centrally at high temperatures [>1000°C] under the feed of secondary air. The two-flame combustion in the upper and lower combustion chamber can be well observed at all times due to the big Robax- ceramics-glass.

Due to the good burn in the second combustion area the Perry reaches a very high degree of efficiency. This means a great heating output at low fuel consumption and with less ash.

Via two control elements and one door latch the combustion-principle and the heating output can be adjusted optimally.

1.    The door handle latches the door and allows refuelling and lighting.

2.    The “Down Burn Mode” Lever makes the switch to “Down Burn Fire” System possible. The setting “heat up” (see page 8) allows the exhaust gas, like a normal stove, to exhaust directly upwards. The stove and flue is heated in this setting. The switching into the second setting “Down Burn Mode” starts the low-emission and efficient operation of the gasification furnace.

3.    By shifting the “Air Control Lever” the heating output is controlled through addition and starvation of primary air in a range of 0 to 100 percent of the nominal output. (up for off, on side for fully open.)

Not to be connected to a shard flue / chimney.

Minimum size along length of flue is 150mm in diameter.

Ideally should be a lined insulated flue of not less than 6 meters vertically.

Hearth

·      Sides distance150mm

·      Forward distance 300mm

Air gap around the unit and to closest flammable material.

There are two scenarios:

When installed inside an existing fire recess.

·      Top 100mm

·      Back 30mm

·      Sides 30mm

·      Front 1 meter

Note: when installing unit with a fan, one has to be mindful that there is no or a minimum short recirculation of air.

When installed on a fire proofed base.

·      Top 300mm

·      Back 300mm

·      Sides 300mm

·      Front 1 meter

Unit must be installed on a level floor and shimmed to be level. The floor must be strong to be able to carry the weight of the unit. Provision must be made so flue can be swept externally. Electrics must be protected for heat from fire and be such that it does not hinder servicing if unit has to be moved.

Flue pip must be cemented into spigot. Unit may burn off protective coatings on first firing.

Installation of the Stove

Space Requirements and Room-Heating-Capacity

·        The room-heating-capacity is highly dependent on the room’s location and interior as well as on the operation method.

For intermittent heating, which means a break of more than 8 hours, the room-heating-capacity is approximately 25 percent lower. Please clarify the space requirements with your retailer and/or installer.

Connection to the Chimney

The Perry features according to building class 1, EN 13240 a self-locking door and is licensed for use on building class 1 insulated chimneys.

The Perry is assembled and ready for connection upon delivery. It is connected to the chimney with standard flue pipes (standard measurement 150mm Ø). The minimum height for the stove connection is determined by the height and position of the stove’s flue pipe. Please refer to the table on page 14 concerning this. If you install the stove yourself, you have to follow the planning laws and Building Regulation laws, and the installation has to be singed off by a Building Control Officer. It is recommended that a HETAS approved installer fits this appliance, but your retailer/installer can advise accordingly.

Caution: The installer has to approve the flue before the initial operation and issue a certificate about the safe utilization and the correct flue gas evacuation (HETAS certification).

This unit is designed to be used only with a direct outside air supply. Please consider this potentially being covered by snow or vegetation when doing the installation.

This unit is not intended for a shared flue.

Distance to the Side and Behind

A minimum distance of 30cm clearance to each side and 30cm behind the unit must be maintained to avoid flammable parts and furniture.

Fire Protection Requirements in the Front

In the band of radiation ensure that no flammable parts or furniture are allowed up to a distance of 40cm. Due to the radiation of heat from the front of the stove, no flammable materials must be closer than 80cm.

Protection of the Floor

In front of the door inflammable floors need to be protected through a hearth made out of non-combustible material. The hearth needs to stretch out at least 30cm in the front and at least 15cm to each side beyond the fire door front.

Installation

The stove has to be checked for transport damage before installation and initial operation. Every stove is checked in the factory.

The stove has to be set out on the floor/hearth and set up stable with the help of felt washer.

Caution: The named safety clearances must be maintained.

The flue pipe is installed into the spigot provided sealed and secured.

10

Initiation

Before the first run, all surfaces should be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth to avoid burning of the protection film and dust particles. Despite the unit being factory run, an odour may develop while the stove first heats up. Because of this, it should be ensured that there is good ventilation while the lacquers and oils are burnt off.

Permitted Fuels

Exclusively allowed: split logs, and compressed logs, according to DIN 51731. Split logs are only allowed to be used when it is air-dry with 15 – 24% of the initial residual moisture. The burning of any wastage is prohibited, this can lead to damage of the stove and the chimney.

Info: Air-dry split logs with maximal 24% water is obtained through a minimum of one year drying (softwood) and respectively two years with hardwood.

Caution: Wood has a low energy fuel mass as fuel which means heating throughout the entire night is impossible.

Conventional Utilization

The Perry stove serves the living spaces heating exclusively under the usage of allowed fuels.

11

User Groups

The Perry stove is only allowed to be used and operated by adults, because of the exposure to fire, increased care is requires .

If there are children, animals, elderly or disabled near the hot stove, ensure that these are supervised and suitable guarding is in place.

Caution: Hot surfaces – Danger of being burnt!

Caution: Flying sparks are likely when opening the door!

Start the Fire and Venting

To star the fire a small piece of wood can be used together with a regular lighter and shavings which can be layered in the upper combustion chamber (5). For safety reasons fluid fuels are not allowed. To start the fire the control elements have to be put in the following positions:

·        (2) “Down Burn Mode” lever. Unlatched and in back position.

·        (4) “Air Control Lever.” “100% open (horizontal)”

As soon as the kindling has taken flame the permitted fuel can be put into the stove. One should not put more than two to three small pieces. Total of approximately 1.5kg to 2.5kg in the upper combustion chamber. Until the necessary basic fire bed is reached the “Down Burn Mode”  lever has to be in the back position. After approximately 30 – 45 minutes a blaze should be such to allow the lever to be put on the “Down Burn Mode” position with lever forward and latched (Indication: vortex

cover glows). The combustion occurs primarily downwards through the vortex. With the “Down Burn Mode” lever (4) can now be set to regulate heat output.

Caution: The “Down Burn Mode” System achieves its optimal effect only when the Perry is already burning for 30 – 45 minutes and there is enough basic fire bed with a temperature of approximately 1,000°C available. Otherwise there is a danger of smoke development and smouldering. If a continuing flame development in the lower combustion chamber is not taking place, put the “Down Burn Mode” lever, back to the start position.

12

Continuous Operation

In the case of continuous operation new fuel should be put on the fire when the flames in the upper combustion chamber are very low and there is still enough blast flame available. Before opening the door the “Down Burn Mode” lever must be opened by putting in the back position by lifting 30 seconds before unlatching the door. Opening the door slowly will prevent ashes and flames coming out the unit.

Handle and levers functions:

Please open the stove-door with caution, this supports the stable flow for conditions and avoids disruptive turbulence in the fire chamber. After loading the Fire, run unit in “Down Burn Mode” 100% air, this will re-establish the proper flow of gasses through the unit. This needs to continue until a good flame pattern is established in the flame compartment.

Caution: If the Perry is operated continually at a high output rate in the position of “start up mode” the danger of overheating exists and the unit will be damaged. This unit is a down burn stove and as such must be put in “Down Burn Mode” as soon as possible after refuelling.

If the fire has burned down too far in the meantime put more fuel on the fire and leave the lever in the position of “Heat up” until more of a blaze develops. If the chimney is still warm it normally only takes a few minutes.

The stove’s output is exclusively regulated through the AIR CONTROL LEVER, and only in “Down Burn Mode”

Flue dampers are only required in the unlikely event of excessively high draft.

The stoves heat output is regulated by a number of factors. The main factor being the fuel type and quantity in the fire box. If the fuel is very small pieces, the possibility may arise where the stove cannot supply sufficient air for full combustion and smoke will be produced. Alternatively if the flame in the flame box becomes to big the unit could overheat. This has been designed out of the unit as much as possible but this situation might occur.

13

Note:

Optimum heating is achieved with only a few two to four pieces of flue over the vortex burner. Optimal burn is when a yellow / blue flame is achieved in the flame box

14

Operation in warm outside air, periods

With high outside air temperatures there is a chance, of the flue stalling. In this event the fire needs to be kept quite high to allow the flue to function.

Shutting down

Let the fire die down, and cool down. Leave door closed.

Inappropriate usage
