Silesia SK5169 chimney inserts with bent window and KM12 heat exchange

KM12 convection module
Separation of the combustion process from heat exchange facilitated construction of a chimney which gains top efficiency parameters while preserves its front window clean for long time. Large base area enables quick buildup of large amount of hot air. |Direct impact of burning if the combustion chamber heats the body of the chimney while the exhaust gas heat the convection module set on top of the insert. Next, the room air is drawn to the chamber around the chimney insert with the inlets at the bottom part. It is heated there with the body and the on top heat exchange. Then, heated air returns to the room through the grid above the chimney. It can be conveyed to other rooms with a heat air distribution system. The chimney also radiates heat through the front window. The SILESIA KM chimneys with heat exchange report one of the highest heating efficiency in the market, exceeding 77%.
SILESIA KM heat up quickly and soon provide large amount of hot air. Convection system offers an efficient solution for large houses with considerable heating demand.

What fouls the window glass?
You want to have your window clean as the chimneys are bought because you want to see the fire. Dirty window takes off most of pleasure, discourage people from lighting fire and converts the chimney to obstacle in the living room. This is a setback shared by good part of the systems offered in the market. What makes the glass dirty? One of the reasons is quality of fuel: damp wood and softwood. This however depends on the user. What does not depend on him, is the burner construction facilitating considerable CO emission. Therefore it is good to check the CO output before purchase. The standards request the manufacturer to disclose the CO emissions reported in testing. You should seek for system featuring CO emission below 0,15%. But many inserts now in the market output as much as 0,3 or even 0,4 % of CO. So check it unless you want to have obscured view after 10 minutes of burning
